As does having the responsibility for employee engagement across Arriva’s multiple UK train and bus companies. That’s 26,000 people, doing different jobs, in different places, at different times of the day and night. It keeps him busy. Employee engagement is very simply about people. But people aren’t simple. Malcom has brought employee engagement to life within Arriva by recognising the breadth of the remit and subject, and has used his imagination and creativity to address every part of their strategy, keeping it fresh and engaging. Someone very clever once said, “Find something you love doing and then find someone to pay you to do it.” Malcom has taken this advice, quite literally. |
