Mitie: A great place to work

We think it’s really important to say thank you to our people for doing a great job. Stars is part of the reward package – it’s our employee recognition scheme.

You can nominate an individual or a team of Mitie people for anything that makes a real difference to you, a colleague or a customer. It could be for showing lots of initiative and fresh thinking, bags of passion and commitment, or for demonstrating a willingness to always go the extra mile in their daily job.

You can access discounts from over 850 high street brands such as Sainsbury’s, Debenhams, B&Q, Boots, M&S, Argos, Lastminute.com and many more. These are available either online or in-store, and in addition to sales and promotions – so they are a genuinely unbeatable deal! Whether you are shopping for your groceries, buying a new TV or booking a holiday, Mideals will save you money.

Every Friday, we encourage our people to say thank you’ to someone who has delivered ‘the exceptional, every day’ during the week. Feel Good Friday is about actively looking for ways to acknowledge contributions and celebrate a ‘job well done’. Every Friday, we will be publishing a story online about someone who has done something exceptional. We encourage people to post their own #FeelGoodFriday on Yammer and other social channels.

At Mitie we offer a cycle to work scheme that allows you to hire a bike (interest free) while making attractive tax and National Insurance savings over a 12-month hire period. This ensures you don’t have to spend a fortune on a bike to enjoy the benefits of cycling to work, and you get to spread the costs over a year. At the end of the year, you get the opportunity to keep the bike.

Our SAYE Scheme is a savings-based scheme which enables you to purchase shares and own a little bit of the company you work for. It’s an easy and safe way to save money regularly and it gives you the option to use these savings to buy more shares at a special discount.

At Mitie, we want to offer more than just a pay packet. That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to take part in choices, a full range of benefits available to suit you and your lifestyle. With Choices, you get to choose the benefits that are right for you.

We know that sometimes our people have concerns about issues outside of work such as debt, family conflict or legal issues. Our Employee Assisted Programmes offers you the opportunity to speak to a dedicated team confidentially and with expert advice in many areas.

We all know we need to save and invest for the future but putting money aside regularly can be a big challenge. The SIP is an all-employee share plan that gives you a chance to buy Mitie shares at a discount. The main advantage of buying Mitie shares through the SIP is that you don’t have to pay income tax or National Insurance contributions on the part of your pay you decide to invest through the plan.

Saving for your retirement is really crucial. Mitie has two pension schemes, Mitie Group plc (Scottish Widows) Group Personal Pension Plan and The People’s Pension.

You may be invited to join the Mitie Group plc (Scottish Widows) Group Personal Pension Plan when you start at Mitie. If you have been invited to join then you will have the level of contribution available to you in your contract of employment.

Under current legislation, the Government requires employers to enrol their employees into a workplace pension scheme and for both you and Mitie to make contributions towards it. This is known as “auto-enrolment” (AE) and Mitie has chosen to use The People’s Pension scheme for auto-enrolment.

You can make great savings at Dell – whatever product you wish to buy you can get an extra 10% off (subject to availability). This employee purchase programme offers you the opportunity to purchase Dell consumer products at highly discounted prices.

We have teamed up with Vodafone to offer access to the Employee Advantage programme to all our employees. The great deals are available for you and your friends and family with the additional bonus of up to 20% discount on the line rental. To check your eligibility for benefits that apply to you, please refer to the Rewards Booklet that will be provided to you upon joining Mitie.

Our Long Service Awards recognise and celebrate employees who have dedicated their time and efforts at Mitie and acknowledge their important contribution to the business.

The milestone anniversaries that will be celebrated across the business are: 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years. A variety of e-Cards, certificates, badges, letters are issued to our employees along with the recognition that right goes along with it. For those that reach significant milestones such as 30 years & above, an annual celebration is held and hosted by our Senior Leadership Teams at the Shard in London.

We want Mitie to be a great place to work. When our people enjoy their work, they perform better and our customers are happier as a result. In order for us to be a great place to work, we need to understand where we need to improve. For this reason, we run an annual people survey, Upload, to understand how our people really feel about working for Mitie.
