Creating engaged employees

Be a business that people are proud to work for.

Network Rail employs over 36,000 people and spends £7.5bn per year across a diverse supply chain. Creating engaged employees is an essential part of our commitment to be a great employer and improving our safety, performance and positive social impact across the industry. The average cost of replacing an employee is between £4,800 and over £30,000, and it can take staff up to eight months to reach optimum productivity levels, so engaging our employees is crucial. It is essential that Network Rail, and our contractors, continue to dedicate resources to ensuring we are an employer of choice, in this increasingly competitive marketplace, to retain and gain the right workforce.
