ELEXON Reviews

Thank you for your feedback about ELEXON. We have been looking at why a couple of our teams have recently experienced a slightly higher turnover rate compared to the majority of our teams who have remained fairly constant. It is always a tricky balance managing changing teams and staff numbers but we are now working with an external company to help us introduce the Investors in People (IiP) standards. These standard should enable us to develop the capabilities we need to meet staff expectations, retain high quality teams and ensure those teams have the necessary level of management support.... MoreLess

We acknowledge that promotion opportunities can be limited at ELEXON, probably because we are a medium size company. However, we regularly look at how we can develop staff roles so that they include a wide range of interesting tasks and that staff feel fulfilled within their current position.

There is sometimes an advantage to being a medium size organisation as this, along with a relatively flat structure, can open up work experiences and opportunities which might only be achieved at certain grades within other organisations.

We have also been working with staff on building our skills and training schedule, work-life balance and staff benefits so that these go some way to counterbalance the concern you have highlighted.... MoreLess

We are keen to develop a flexible and positive working environment and we continue to make every effort to gain feedback and direction from our staff on how they would like to see ELEXON develop. I am a bit concerned about the comment that we treat trainees with disdain and will be seeking ways to increase involvement from teams so that this perception is avoided in future. The last thing we want is for staff to feel undervalued so if there is an issue with morale I will be keen to understand more about how this can be improved. We run a number of social events throughout the year and our recent quiz night was very well attended and not only by the usual faces.... MoreLess

Thank you for taking the time to place a review. ELEXON is working hard to strike the right balance between the opportunities we are able to offer to staff and the restrictions we have based on the type of work we undertake. With a new Executive in place, we feel we are moving in a positive direction and key strategic changes have increased our involvement across the industry and enabled further opportunities for our staff. As the company develops we feel that our staff will continue to enjoy the positive culture, good work-life balance and associated benefits and corporate events. ELEXON does endeavour where-ever possible to support flexible working requests. Working from home opportunities have increased and the annual summer softball event in the park is already been planned.... MoreLess

Hi, thank you for your advice. We love getting employee feedback about working for ELEXON, their day-to-day working environment, the Executive team and communications. Over the last year we have been working hard to improve cross team communication and the results of this year’s employee survey show an improved dialogue among teams.

We understand that career progression in a small organisation with a flat structure is always going to be a challenge so we strive to mitigate this by providing our staff with interesting and challenging work and a good work life balance. We follow the wise words of American businessman Robert McNamara ‘Brains, like hearts, go where they are appreciated.’... MoreLess

Hi, thank you for taking time out to give feedback. I am disappointed to learn that your experience did not match our intention of ELEXON being one of the best places to work. Making workplace improvements based on employee feedback is one of my highest priorities so I wanted to address few of your concerns in my response.

We have a 98% accuracy stat for our payroll and I am currently unaware of any staff – current or past having ongoing issues with their payslips. Our Exec team want every employee delivering to their full potential and they are committed to the people related elements of our Business Plan. There’s also a ‘have your say’ tool on our intranet which allows employees to submit questions, complaints and feedback anonymously which is then shared with our Exec team to recognise any patterns.

We understand that career progression in a small organisation is going to be a challenge; to mitigate this we always advertise internal job roles on our intranet and provide guidance on the internal recruitment process. Moreover our pay is annually benchmarked by the Hays group.... MoreLess

Thank you for the positive response. We are pleased to read people are one of the best things about us - we believe that too!
