Employee engagement
Promoting engagement across the Group
An engaged workforce means great customer service in our stores, so we take employee engagement very seriously.
The One Team Engagement survey run by Gallup (formerly the Q12 survey) is Kingfisher's established tool for measuring employee engagement across the Group. In 2012/13 the Group achieved a GrandMean engagement score of 4.1 out of 5. Participation rates across the Group are high which is very encouraging for an employee population of this size.

KSO
The KSO (Kingfisher Sourcing Organisation) has established a regular programme of video conference calls to connect the whole KSO family.
