We have developed our People Strategy, which is designed to support the delivery of CF's company strategy, through ensuring we are an employer of choice within the sector and an ‘irresistible organisation' for our employees. Resourcing is a crucial part of our People Strategy as it influences where and how our teams are deployed, the experience they can gain, the skills they can develop and the exciting opportunities they can benefit from.
