Our culture reflects the collective capabilities of our people and is one of our unique strategic assets. The combination of our organisational model and culture is what we call Halma’s DNA. It is a fundamental part of what makes Halma a successful, sustainable business.
As a global portfolio, each Halma company has a unique identity, brand, and culture. Together, we share a common purpose and a set of underpinning principles that have enabled us to be successful in the past and continue to make us successful today and into the future. No matter what part of the business you join, we’re united and guided by our purpose and DNA.
Our culture is supported by a simple organisational model. We hire exceptional leaders who are empowered and accountable for making decisions that are right for their business without the need for complex reporting lines. This means they can act quickly to respond to their customers’ needs and capture new growth opportunities.
We continuously share best practice and stimulate knowledge-sharing through our networks. We also invest in our leaders so that they have the skills required to cultivate diversity, lead inclusively, and improve their ability to build and lead high-performing teams.
Our development programmes are designed to promote personal growth and enhance leadership and relationship skills. They also offer employees from across Halma companies the opportunity to come together and learn from one another. These courses are offered in the UK, the USA and China.
We want to enable our people to perform at their best. We know our employees can only play a full part at work and in the communities in which they live if they feel safe, healthy and fulfilled. That’s why we’re committed to investing in our people with the programmes and resources needed to support their overall health and wellbeing.
Our employee assistance programmes provide confidential counselling and advice on personal, emotional, financial, and legal matters. A dedicated resource centre on our internal digital platform is available to support employees’ mental health and total wellbeing. We’ve also launched a programme to equip managers with the tools to better navigate conversations around mental health and ways to support those around them.
Using the latest collaborative technology, we connect over 80% of our online employees across 20 countries. This allows our employees to share knowledge, skills and ideas every day in an agile and secure way.
Employees around the world tap into the expertise of our network. This has led to the creation of entirely new business models and product collaborations, and accelerated the pace of change across the group. From seeking support for entering new markets, sharing data, learnings, insights and opportunities, staying connected is critical to our success and our employees’ development.
