Work environment

On-site, Office-based

At Enra, we believe in the power of a productive workforce and have found that our on-site office-based approach enhances productivity, collaboration, quality of service, and speed of delivery across  brands and departments. It also contributes to a positive work-culture that rewards teamwork, while delivering good customer outcomes.

Colleague Care Network

Committed to the wellbeing of our employees, we place a strong emphasis on mental health and general wellbeing. Within our business we have established a network of mental health first-aiders ready to provide mental health support when the need arises.

Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I)

Diversity of background, experience, and perspective strengthens our ability to innovate and serve our customers responsibly. We embrace equality, diversity and inclusion as vital to both our culture and our continued growth.

 

At Enra, we believe that collaboration and respect are the foundations of a thriving workplace. Our success is built on our shared commitment to our CREDIT values: Customers, Results, Energy, Development, Invention, and Teamwork. These values guide not only the way we do business, but also how we support each other.

Environment

Low emissions as an office-based company

As an office-based company, we are already a low emission company with the largest part of our carbon footprint coming from energy use in the office. We are committed to actively seeking opportunities to reduce energy consumption where possible through energy-efficient means.

 

Cycle to Work Scheme, EV Scheme, and Travel Loans

To reduce grey fleet emissions, which are a secondary driver of company emissions, we support our employees through various schemes to help encourage the use of public transportation and low-emission commutes.

We do this through a variety of schemes, including a Cycle to Work Scheme, Electric Vehicle (EV) Scheme, and travel season ticket Loans.
