From powering the energy transition to the corridors of power 🌍 ⚡ Young industry leaders of the future, including Centrica's Tara Vyas and Megan Bache, were among guests in Downing Street yesterday for a speech and reception hosted by the Prime Minister on the delivery of the Government's economic and energy missions. As Parliament gets ready to return from summer recess next week, the PM was setting out plans for the term ahead including the establishment of Great British Energy. 👩🔬 Tara is a Hydrogen & Renewables Analyst at Centrica Energy, involved in the commercialisation of hydrogen, working across projects aimed at delivering decarbonisation targets through investment and market development. 👩💼 Megan is a Commercial Manager in the British Gas low carbon homes team where she develops new and exciting propositions in the heat pump space to save customers both carbon and cost. #FutureLeaders #Energy #WomenInScience

As an organisation, we're committed to supporting our 2,500 colleague carers and we’re proud to feature as a case study in Carers UK's latest report. 💙 Our carer’s leave policy includes an initial 10 days paid leave, followed by another two weeks of discretionary leave, matched with two weeks annual leave. While the benefits for colleagues are obvious, we believe the business case is just as compelling. Since introducing the policy in 2019, we've found: - Despite the substantial paid leave provision our policy offers, the average level of carer’s leave taken is just 3.4 matched days per year. - We save an estimated £1.8 million a year by avoiding unplanned absences and presenteeism (working while unwell or not fully performing). - We've saved £1.3 million over the last five years through increased retention, by supporting colleagues to stay in work while they care for loved ones. Our hope is that our experience will inspire others in our industry and beyond to prioritise and improve support for working carers across the UK. #MoreThanACareer #WorkingCarers #CarerPositive #PaidLeave #ProductivityBoost
Our report, out today, calls for the introduction of a statutory right to paid Carer’s Leave. This would deliver benefits for over 2 million carers, save employers billions of £s a year, and is a significant growth opportunity for the UK economy. See our report here: https://lnkd.in/eHDukaej We are calling for other organisations to stand with us in calling for a new right to paid Carer’s Leave.
