HUMAN AND LABOUR RIGHTS
COMPLIANCE
In 2023 we updated our Group-wide Code of Conduct and
associated training materials. Amongst other important
points, the Code of Conduct details the standard of
ethical behaviour that all RWS colleagues, partners and
suppliers must adhere to and ensures compliance with
human rights, child labour and anti-slavery measures. We
instigated a global training programme to ensure any new
knowledge or skills required to comply with the Code of
Conduct's requirements were put in place.
Beyond this Code of Conduct and associated policies, we
continue with our programme to replace any divisional
policies with a single set of Group policies, as they are
published, to ensure the highest degree of consistency
across the Group. As these policies are developed, they
are made available to all colleagues on the RWS Hub and
complement our divisional e昀昀orts by ensuring we address
any new global policy gaps as they emerge.
OUR PEOPLE ROADMAP
We continue to achieve a great deal in relation to our
people agenda. Most of what we planned for FY23 did
take place, and where we have reprioritised resource
during the course of the year we have done so in response
to changing business priorities.
The RWS landscape is complex, in terms of location,
legislation and diverse HR practices and a very important
anchor for many of our new processes is our new Microsoft
Dynamics 365 system for HR which internally we call Unify
D365 – in December 2023 we will begin the progressive
implementation of this system and it will become a key
enabler of the organisation's One RWS philosophy.
Alongside, and often supported by the new system, we will
enhance our HR capabilities to include:
•
•
•
•
•
The new job architecture and career framework
Better onboarding and recruitment
A uni昀椀ed performance management cycle
Colleague development through integrated learning
Actionable insights through enhanced reporting
In combination, all of this will help us manage people
insight more strategically, and enhance people decisionmaking across the business.
