- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★Featured Review
Pros
Challenging, variety, respected, proactive, rewarded
Cons
Occasionally let down by poor IT systems and support
Continue readingThank you for the great review! And even more thanks for all your years of service at Kier. It's fantastic to read that you value the care we take to ensure all employees are looked after and feel part of the big picture at Kier. You're right, our IT system and support is something that needs work which is why we have plans in motion to solve these issues as soon as possible. Thanks again! Employer Brand Coordinator

Pros
Team have been really welcoming, I enjoy the varied work that I do and Kier support some really good causes and always communicate how to get involved.
Cons
Onboarding could have been a lot more structured, would have been nice to have some sort of guide or someone who showed me how to book holiday, raise an IT support request, who my HR contact is etc. Felt a little left to my own devices very early on.

Welcome to the team! It's great to read that you're enjoying your time with us and that your team have been so supportive and you appreciate all the work we do with charities. Just this week we launched our annual festive fundraising campaign which you can find out more about here: https://www.kierfoundationevents.co.uk/event/festive-fundraiser Your comments about onboarding are fair, and we have within the last month made some really great improvements to our onboarding process, making it a lot more comprehensive and supportive, but unfortunately it sounds like we definitely missed the mark with your experience and we do apologise for that. We would recommend talking to your line manager or HR Business Partner about anything that you need. Thanks for the feedback!

- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Loads of development, great jobs, experienced senior management.
Cons
Impossible to progress without people leaving the company, long working hours as you would expect from a contractor
Kier Group Response
Thanks for leaving a review! We really value your comments and all feedback is important for us to improve. It's great to see that you've appreciated the opportunities we've been able to offer you and value your colleagues and management. These are important things for us to get right and it's great to hear your feedback. We acknowledge that due to the nature of certain roles with us, it does require our employees to sometimes work long or uncommon hours. We aim to work with each individual and ensure that their situation is working for them and we encourage you to talk to your line manager of HR Business Partner if you're finding it hard to get the right balance. At Kier, we have lots of opportunities to progress within our business, not only in your current business unit but also across all areas of the business. We've recently been made aware that many employees are not always aware of all these opportunities and we are working on improving communications around this. Thank you for your feedback.
