Open minds, open doors.A world of opportunity

2

Q: How would you describe Invensys as an employer?A: Invensys offers new, truly global and exciting opportunities. We have innovative technology in a wide range of industries. We have a challenging environment, where high performance is rewarded, and our employees are free to think and come up with new ideas.

Q: What attracted you to Invensys as an employer?A: It was the right time for me in my career, to take on a truly global leadership role, in which I could shape and influence an organisation moving forward. I felt Invensys really offered this to me.

Q: Can you tell us something about your own background, and career?A: My background has predominantly been in Human Resources, organisational design, learning & development, resourcing and talent development. My career in this arena, over the last ten years, has been focused in large blue chip technology environments.

Q: How would you describe the Invensys culture?A: Our culture is fast paced, and demanding – it is not for the faint hearted. The business is continually evolving, is innovative and culturally diverse.

Q: Is there such a thing as an Invensys person?A: Yes, someone who is open minded, confident, technically strong in their discipline, challenging, courageous and resilient.

Q: What are your thoughts on the importance of a diverse work force?A: In Invensys, it is essential. We work across all geographies and have a footprint across social and economic boundaries. So, as a truly global organisation, the ability of our people to respect and partner with one another is key to the businesses success.

Q: How does Invensys reward its employees?A: At Invensys we believe in Meritocracy. Throughout all levels of the organisation, people are set clear goals, aligned to the strategy and success of Invensys. Our rewards mirror this goal setting, and reflect the strategy of each business group, and Invensys in totality.

Q: Why should strong talent be attracted to Invensys as an employer of choice?A: In my career, I have experienced that companies which offer big rewards and diverse benefits for people, playing a part in their success, may be seen as measures of companies becoming ‘employers of choice’. Not often in my experience is it easy to see how one can contribute to that success. At Invensys, we are all aligned with our own individual goals to contribute. Therefore, if someone wants to be part of a success story, and play their part in that – Invensys is a good place to work.

We have changed our organisation significantly over the past 10 years, to become the success we are today, and have not been scared to make tough decisions. We may not be the largest organisation, but we are one of the most focused. All people will make their own judgement on what an ‘employer of choice’ is. At Invensys, we strongly value integrity and therefore, we hope that people joining Invensys can clearly make their own choices around their own careers.

Invensys Competencies

The Invensys Competencies have been identified through a comprehensive research-backed process involving a significant number of executives and leaders across Invensys. They are grouped into five clusters linked to the organisational capabilities which we have identified as important to deliver Invensys strategy• customer focus• deliver results• develop for the future• engage people• innovate

The effective implementation of our Competencies at individual, team and organisational level is designed to

accelerate our journey to becoming a high performing, sustainable and cohesive organisation. The competencies form part of our performance assessment and development planning processes. They evaluate the HOW of performance by describing observable behaviours in a way which facilitates discussions around performance gaps either in the current job roles or measured against career aspirations. A wide range of development solutions combining on-line training, reading, tutor-led training and experience based development actions are linked to each Competency to help all employees to maximise their potential.

Invensys Competencies ProgressionWe recognise that competencies change as individuals progress through their careers. To maximise relevance we have therefore mapped specific competencies linked to each cluster to different profiles for Executives, Leaders and Individual Contributors. The Invensys Competencies will therefore also help improve the quality of candidate assessment for both internal promotions and external hires.


The Invensys Competencies have been developed to prioritise the behaviours most critical to success. The application of these Competencies will accelerate our journey to becoming a cohesive, sustainable and high-performing organisation.
