SThree plc
("SThree" or the "Group")
Appointment of Employee Representative Non-Executive Director
SThree, the international STEM specialist staffing business, is pleased to
announce that Denise Collis has been appointed in the newly formed role of
Employee Representative Non-Executive Director, with effect from 1 December
2018.
This appointment is an early adoption of recently announced changes to the
UK Corporate Governance Code, due to come into effect in 2019-2020. The
update highlights the increasing need to consider the employee voice at
Board level as well as throughout the business and the Code suggests, as one
option, a designated Non-Executive Director as a suitable way for the Board
to gather the views of the workforce. This early appointment is in line with
SThree's best practice corporate governance aspiration, as well as its
culture of creating a positive and inclusive work environment which empowers
its people.
Denise joined the Board in July 2016 and currently sits on the Audit,
Nomination and Remuneration Committees, chairing the latter.
There are no additional details relating to the appointments that are
required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph 9.6.13 (1-6) of the Listing
Rules.
