Our People initiatives
At Mileway we want to give you the best employee experience possible, and to do this we have several HR initiatives to support you from day one.
01. Mi-buddy programme
Get a better start
On your first day you are assigned a buddy, who is one of your colleagues. They are there to help you to familiarise yourself with the business, Mileway’s culture, and to answer any questions you have.
“I found the Mi-buddy programme really helpful when I joined Mileway. It gave me an opportunity to get to know the company better and build great relationships, in addition to those in my direct team”
– Alexander, Malmo Office
02. Company-wide onboarding days
Better together in Amsterdam
Meet other new joiners at a company-wide onboarding day in our Amsterdam office. You will hear from our leadership team and have the opportunity to explore some of our properties in the local area.
“The day is really useful and enjoyable. The senior leadership start by sharing the company story and its journey, which brings everything to life. The personal introductions offer a great opportunity to get to know the leadership team and other colleagues, and by the end of the day you feel more connected to each other and the company. I really valued the day, and most importantly, had fun!”
– Janneke, Amsterdam Office
03. Mileway university
Develop your skill set
Mileway University is our internal training programme focused on our employees’ learning and development. Given the dynamic and varied roles we offer at Mileway, we understand the huge amount of personal development taking place each day among our people. To help support and enhance this, we have introduced four key programmes, which are open to all levels in the company, covering a wide range of topics. These are our Core Business Programme, Functional Programmes (IT, Finance, Data Academy & Legal and Compliance), Leadership and Management Development Programmes and the Personal Development Programme. This includes ESG training and giving all employees access to LinkedIn learning sessions and ‘Learning Hours’ on a range of topics, which ensures time is regularly earmarked for personal development across the business.
“I have found the LinkedIn learning platform to be a critical part of my professional development. The freedom to do the courses at your own leisure and the variety of course topics make this an invaluable tool in my professional work.”
– James, London Office
04. Employee engagement surveys
Have a say on your work environment
People who are engaged at work, experience a better quality of life. Our Employee Engagement Survey gives us a good view of how everyone is doing, and areas we need to focus on to make sure you remain happy and engaged. We run employee engagement surveys annually and we always share the key findings as well as actions we’re taking to ensure we are continuously improving.
How it works
- Each year in May, we send all of our employees an engagement survey to fill out – this is completely anonymous and run by an external provider.
- The results are then reviewed by the provider and shared firstly with our Leadership team, and then the whole organisation. This ensures we are completely transparent and can celebrate what is working well as well as areas we can improve.
- The leadership team, managers and HR department then come up with an action plan using additional employee input to show what actions we are taking in response to the survey results. These commitments are shared across the company and reviewed throughout the year to ensure we are keeping our employees up to date on our progress and that we are continually improving and evolving.
