Amey Ambassadors

Objective for Amey Ambassadors:

To use your enthusiasm and commitment to actively support and embed our Wellbeing & Inclusion Strategy across the business.

Amey ambassadors are volunteer roles.  That means that they are undertaken in addition to your existing role within the business.  Traditional communications in a large organisation like Amey can make it really challenging to reach all employees across the business – in particular those in front line roles that may not always have access to the Amey systems.

Ambassador networks are often used to help improve communications and to ensure that everyone has access to the support resources and activities available, for the benefit of all.

The role of an Amey Ambassador is to:

• Actively participate in the creation of an effective ambassador network across Amey 
• To be positive and enthusiastic in your approach
• To be totally inclusive
• Deliver and support activities that engage and raise awareness, this could include;
  • Promotion of campaign materials,
  • Coordinating workplace challenges,
  • Delivering toolbox talks,
  • Signposting employees to appropriate support resources,
  • Ensuring effective dissemination of wellbeing and inclusion communications across all employee groups, especially front-line.
  • Receiving feedback from employees and reporting this back through the ambassador network.

• Attendance at relevant ambassador meetings

What does it take to become an Amey Ambassador?

• A positive, solutions focused mindset.
• Excellent communication skills.
• Committed to making a positive impact in the workplace.
• A passion and desire to help create an inclusive workplace that embraces difference and adopts positive ways of working.
• Willingness to attend any required training and / or development.
• Line manager agreement.  As this is a voluntary role to be undertaken in addition to existing roles within the business, line manager agreement is essential.

Across Complex Facilities we have Employee Representatives and Wellbeing Ambassadors.  For more information about how to become an ambassador in Amey please discuss with your line manager who can contact your relevant People Partner for your business area.

Transport Infrastructure

Lead to Engage forums, made up of employee nominated Engagement Ambassadors form a core element of the Transport Infrastructure high-performance culture.  Lead to Engage forums are held at Account, Sector and TI levels, providing opportunities for direct communication between leaders and frontline colleagues to discuss current issues and opportunities to improve ways of working.

Engagement Ambassadors are nominated by their peers and work with the colleagues they represent to help them to raise issues or to raise issues on their behalf.  Engagement Ambassadors receive training and join together once a year at our annual Ambassador conference. 

Lead to Engage has resulted in improved communication and engagement and over 500 issues raised by Engagement Ambassadors have been implemented, improving ways of working which has benefited our people, our business, our customers and the communities we serve.
