Inclusion and diversity

We’re committed to creating a place of work where everyone has purpose. Where we help and support each other to learn and grow. Where flexible working and market leading benefits are the norm. And where everyone is welcome and respected. Because we know that we’re better together. We call this E.ON Life.

Better together

Our latest inclusion report

In winter 2023 we published our second inclusion report. Using our data and continuing to listen to our colleagues, we've been able to deepen our understanding and take action to make positive improvements. The report details how we've narrowed the gender pay gap by 0.5%, and how we're now ranked as the UK's eighth most inclusive employer.

Recognised for inclusivity

We're delighted that our ongoing efforts to create an inclusive workplace have earned us a position in the Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers List for seven years in a row. For the last two years we've placed in the top 15, and this year we have placed an incredible eighth.

Wellness

Supporting flexible working

We want to support parents and carers and enable people with long-term health conditions and disabilities to stay in work, so flexible working is key. We're able to offer this through hybrid working, part-time hours and job sharing.

We make sure that flexibility is there right from the application stage, with all our roles advertised with part-time and job share options. And everyone can request flexible working from their first day with us too.

"Everyone here has the opportunity to learn new skills, gain qualifications and build new capabilities and careers."

Belonging

Our networks

Our colleague-led inclusion networks are supportive communities promoting allyship, equality, diversity and inclusion across E.ON in the UK - providing supportive spaces for colleagues, sharing resources and being the voice of colleagues in underrepresented groups.

To further our commitment to creating and maintaining an inclusive environment, we moved away from talent pools in 2021 and instead created a set of inclusive development networks which help colleagues develop the skills and capabilities needed to build and progress their career and to help us achieve our purpose together.

Development

Apprenticeships

Our degree apprentice scheme provides an alternative route into higher education. With a paid-for degree and work placements, apprentices learn on the job, getting practical work experience alongside university studies.

Apprenticeships aren’t just for school leavers. Everyone has the opportunity to develop their skills and qualifications. Our apprenticeships start at level 2, including professional and technical qualifications such as accountancy and engineering right through to PhD and MBAs.
