Rewards and Recognition
Recognising and appreciating employees is a fundamental part of our culture. At a local level, we recognise the achievements of individuals with monthly awards and every year we celebrate the very best of DS Smith people in ‘The Smithies’; our group-wide recognition programme that uncovers the ‘hidden gems’ in our business and celebrates everyone who excels at what they do.
Flexible working
Our organisation values diversity and strives to accommodate the unique needs of each individual wherever possible. This can include flexible arrangements for working hours, start and finish times, days of work, and even location. However, please note that while flexible working arrangements can be applied to some office-based jobs, the majority of our workforce is employed in manufacturing business and work on shift patterns. Here we look to build a sense of togetherness and belonging.
