ElectraLink, established in 1998, operates the crucial network that facilitates data transfers between energy companies in the UK electricity market. Along with advisory functions, it provides transformative data solutions, contributing to the energy market's transition towards a low-carbon future.

With the rapidly changing energy landscape, ElectraLink prides itself on its diverse, ambitious team. The organisation invests in employee training aligned with individual professional goals, rewards for successes, and provides support during challenging times. The firm believes in creating a supportive culture, encompassing volunteer days off, social events, critical illness cover, enhanced pension, and tax-efficient schemes for electric vehicles and bicycles.

In addition to such benefits, ElectraLink has obtained net zero status, implemented a diversity strategy and offers gold-standard private healthcare. It maintains a people-centric approach, recognising the fast-paced changes in employee expectations. ElectraLink acknowledges the outstanding contributions of all employees and strives to foster an environment of excellence, trust, respect, and accountability.

Bi-weekly company meetings hosted by the CEO and annual People Conferences are part of its engagement strategy. These platforms provide updates, highlight successes, address challenges, and invite feedback. Annual objectives are set for all employees, helping them understand their role in the organisation's success.

To ensure that its values remain integral to the business, ElectraLink has introduced a pan-organisation objective where everyone must demonstrate their adherence to the company's values and behaviours. The company also encourages social interaction and maintains an active intranet called SIMON, reinforcing its values and people-centric culture.
