Anglian Water FAQ

Benefits were good like healthcare

Management took no care for staff, and there was a complete lack of respect for anyone that wasn't management. Everybody was scared of management because they have a tendency to ignore people's mental health issues, there was no rewards and an ignorance to achievement. They also didn't stick to laws and I was shocked when I saw these things. Would not recommend this company with its fake values.

Great Flexibility, fantastic attitude to mental health, good pay and good job benefits. One of a few companies offering to match a 5% pension contribution

Can be stressful at times, and sometimes change isn't managed particularly well. Having said that, I don't think change is generally managed well anywhere.

Thanks for treating us like humans. My senior manager is very approachable and CEO acts just like a normal employee.

IT isn’t great but it’s catching up.

Fantastic working atmosphere, great opportunities for career and personal growth. The company actively pursues a working environment where everyone cares not only about the work we do and the customers we help but about what matters to its employees. Anglian water makes an effort to help its workforce talk openly about mental health, gender pay gaps and environmental awareness. They actively encourage employees to involve themselves in charity activities and personal growth programs. Its clear that upper level management genuinely care about the wellbeing of their workers and takes steps to make work life as enjoyable as possible.

Most employees stay at Anglian water for over 20 years which, whilst being a shining endorsement for the company, means that in certain areas innovative ideas can be met with reluctance from the people who have been doing their work the same way for such a long time. Many projects require an aspect of behavioural change to be successful across the wider business.

Open up health and wellbeing training to the wider business - allowing more people to be trained in how to help others with problems such as mental health means employees are more likely to be able to find something they're willing to talk to when they need it.

Good benefits Great culture focused on people Plenty of opportunities for progression and to get involved with a range of topics Play a key part in providing an essential service and taking care of our environment Innovation is core to the business Committed to driving not just the business but the industry forward in all aspects of the sector

Very few, outside pressures can sometimes affect the way we must work but the business and leadership do very well to deal with this, communicate it to the workforce and support people through change
