Each year we undertake an annual team engagement survey to get feedback on a number of topics that are important to us and our people, including culture, attracting and retaining talent, developing capability and careers, and effective leadership.

Now in its fifth year, we have continued to use the results to drive our activity, introducing initiatives to ensure we are continually building a great place to work for all our people.

The results of our survey this year showed that:

• 96% of colleagues would speak highly of NorthEdge without being asked
• 96% of colleagues believe our values and brand improve our chance of winning business
• 93% of colleagues believe their manager treats them with fairness, respect and dignity
• 93% of colleagues believe the leadership team are good at leading NorthEdge by example

In addition, for the second year running we have tracked our Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), a measure that allows us to understand how satisfied and engaged colleagues are with work. This year we achieved an eNPS score of +58 – the average for the Private Equity sector is +28.

At NorthEdge we are committed to building an environment where everyone can thrive. We have used the feedback from the survey to explore, refine and implement ways to make NorthEdge better for everyone. We are making progress on our 2023 action plan, ensuring we are supporting one another and continuing to build a business that we are all be proud to be a part of.
