Creating Together as a Global HR Community!
Dear Colleagues,
In January, the Cicor 2028 Strategy was launched. In May, you have been invited to join “Creating Together” briefings to learn more about this in detail from your Site MD.
In support of the 2028 Strategy, 21 strategic projects have been identified including ‘People’. The People Project was implemented in January with 8 workstreams. These are supported by HR Leaders from our Global HR Community, across all entities, with the following central to what we do, why we do it and – importantly – how we do it:
We wanted to share an update on progress, to highlight key activities to you...
Employee ‘Pulse’ Survey
In Q3 2025, we will launch the first-ever, Group-wide ‘Employee Pulse Survey’. This will be a short questionnaire in Q3 accessible to all colleagues to complete. The survey will focus on 2028 Strategy, Cicor Values and Cicor Leadership. It will be short, around 10 minutes to complete, to inform future plans. It would be great if you could share your feedback with us!
Employer of Choice (EOC)
The 2028 Strategy, and People Strategy, have a clear focus to create an environment which makes Cicor an Employer of Choice (EOC) globally. Over the 3-year strategy, 9 priorities have been identified, 3 for each year in 2025, 2026, and 2027. This year the team's focus is on communication, engagement, and recognition.
Cicor Website
The Cicor Website ‘Careers’ content will be refreshed in July. The team has been focusing on bringing content up to date to represent the Cicor Group as a growing, global business, with opportunities in multiple locations and professions. This is an important activity, as an EOC employer, to provide content to engage our external audience and employer brand.
Digitalisation
In 2024, a candidate application tool ‘Avature’ was identified to manage candidate applications electronically. This is often the first point of contact for a potential candidate and with the advancement of technology, online applications are now an expectation to streamline the process, the time invested by candidates, and time it takes us to recruit.
This will enable UK and Europe entities (Asia currently out of scope) to use electronic applications to attract new applicants and manage all aspects of recruitment and onboarding. This is a significant development, critical to Cicor’s employer branding, with access soon available via the Cicor Website ‘Careers’ page.
If you have any associates or friends who are interested in joining Cicor, please let your HR Team know. They can point you in the right direction for the application process!
Before I continue, we are now 29 sites in 12 countries so I would like to mention all our new colleagues since the last edition of CLOSE – a very warm welcome to the Cicor Group.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the HR Leader for your site. The entire Global HR Community will ensure communication on these activities is a priority.
The Team is always open to feedback, so if you have any ideas please share!
