How we value people and communities
We are building our business through our people focused culture that originates from a strong family ethos, and the belief that our success is determined through our people who are at the very heart of what we do. The best team makes the difference.
The communities around where our flat roof installations are taking place is a key consideration to us too and we support local initiatives that really get to the heart of a community.
Health, safety and wellbeing at Bauder
Our drive is to look after our people. Success doesn't happen by itself, and we know it is our people that makes Bauder the successful flat roof solutions provider we are today.
Knowledge and expertise are fostered and respected across the business, and our clients rely on this to gain the right information for the right solution for their projects.
Health at Bauder
We foster a positive working environment and recognise the shift of working cultures with a hybrid working policy to provide a greater work-life balance.
Safety at Bauder
Safety is at the forefront of everything we do. At Bauder, our health and safety strategy gives employees the confidence to recognise the importance of their own safety but also empowers them to challenge colleagues to ensure a safer more informed environment.
Wellbeing at Bauder
Our wellness programme puts health and wellbeing at the heart of our people strategy. Workforce wellness is linked to our training syllabus with quarterly wellness focus topics and a great number of initiatives and gifting throughout the year. Our strong mental health focus provides training for our entire workforce and our empathic approach provides significant support to those who need it most.
Proving our commitment
At Bauder, we don't only say we do great things, we have our actions and statements backed up with accreditations. We are extremely proud of our Investors in People (IIP) Platinum status which is the highest accolade within the standard.

Having ISO 45001 gives significant value to us in reducing workplace incidents and demonstrates our commitment to the safety of our people, particularly when attending construction sites. Our people understand that it is everyone's responsibility to look out for, identify and report anything, big or small, that could cause a hazard to another person so that we all create a safe working environment.
The standard requires complying with OH&S regulations, ensuring legal conformity and promotes proactive risk management.

Angeline Barnes, HR Director At Bauder, our people are the greatest asset, the driver of our success, laying at the heart of everything we do. Through our people focused culture, we are inclusive, responsible, team spirited and supportive. We advocate true ownership and empowerment, and our culture facilitates high performance.
Our ‘Best Team’ culture ensures we work together with commonly agreed goals, respect and mutual appreciation and with a continuous improvement mindset, having fun whilst we do. We are a highly driven, successful, fast paced business and we truly invest in the value of our people.
