Thank you for your review, and for sharing your view, particularly in relation to our HSA contributions for the health plan in the USA.
It’s disappointing to hear your personal views, which are different to others' experience across Victrex and Invibio. Our highest scoring question in our 2024 Employee Experience Survey was in response to ‘I have a good relationship with my line manager’ at 84%, following an impressive 91% company-wide response rate. We acknowledge that there will be pockets where relationships may be different, and we always look to support line managers to develop their teams, and encourage individuals to seek support from their HR Partner if need be, we sincerely hope you did this whilst employed with us. We signal to all employees the standards we expect through our leadership competencies and core behaviours in place (including ‘continuously improving’). These form part of our regular performance feedback, check-ins and reviews.
Finally, in relation to your last point about unconscious bias, we regularly run sessions for employees at every level, specifically targeted at helping people to understand, be aware of, and avoid unconscious bias. We’ve received positive feedback about these events, which we’ll continue to run. We’ve also established several global, employee-led Resource Groups covering race, ethnicity and cultural heritage, gender and disability, to increase allyship and awareness through targeted education and action.
