We’re supporting our workforce with fairness, skills development, wellbeing and opportunity.
We want to see our people prosper at work and across every aspect of their lives.
At Sheriff Construction, we know our people are our greatest asset. That’s why we celebrate the diversity of our team and actively invest in their education, training, wellbeing and long-term careers – not just because it’s good business, but because it’s the right thing to do.
People-first practices:
Fairness and opportunity
- Adopting fair and inclusive recruitment and progression practices for all, regardless of background, gender age or ethnicity
- Providing support for those facing barriers to employment (e.g. language support)
- Offering long-term contracts and internal promotions wherever possible
Skills and careers
- Creating opportunities for Apprenticeships and structured work experience programmes
- Providing ongoing access to training and industry-recognised qualifications
- Encouraging continuous learning and career progression from apprentice to leadership
Wellbeing at work
- Promoting a health-positive culture at our Head Office, including encouraging lunchtime walks, operating a no-desk-eating policy and providing wellbeing facilities like our outdoor ‘nature deck’
- Providing regular Toolbox Talks and blog content on physical and mental wellbeing
- Supporting individual needs – such as helping staff complete official paperwork when needed
Recognition and connection
- Scheduling social activities like team barbecues, end-of-project celebrations and an annual Christmas party
- Rewarding staff through bonus schemes and in-house promotions that recognise loyalty and contribution
- Ensuring Sheriff Construction is a supportive, inclusive workplace where people are valued as individuals
We may have moved on from being a small family business a long time ago, but we still like to operate and think as a family – just a much bigger one.
