Our approach
As a forward‑thinking traffic management provider, we tackle long‑standing challenges with innovation and purpose. A strong sustainability framework underpins our daily work, ensuring lasting benefits for our people, local communities and the environment.
People - putting people at the heart of our approach
Our people are the foundation of our business. We are committed to making VolkerTraffic Management an inclusive, supportive and inspiring place to work; values that extend into the communities we serve. Through our safety‑first behavioural programme, Protect Our People, we prioritise a safe and respectful working environment at every level of the organisation.
Planet - protecting and enhancing the natural environment
Within each of the areas we work, the environmental risks and opportunities they present are unique. We always act responsibly, striving to deliver environmental improvements through working collaboratively with our clients and stakeholders.
Purpose - delivering long-term social value
We care about making a real difference. We take pride in supporting local charities, community projects and volunteering initiatives that matter. We help our communities to thrive through practical support, shared learning and hands-on involvement. We’re focused on: promoting road and community safety, volunteering activities, biodiversity initiatives, inspiring the next generation to thrive and creating pathways to employment.
Lister Hospital Volunteering
Our team were proud to spend the day giving back at Lister Hospital, part of the North and East Hertfordshire Hospital Trust. From braving the abseiling challenge and raising funds, to supporting organisers by handing out T‑shirts and cheering on participants, everyone played a part in making the day a success. Event organiser at the NHS said: “Not only were you all great at the roles but the energy you brought to the event was amazing. You were such a great team to work with. Thanks to your support the event raised a staggering £40,000 and climbing for our charity!”
Technologies and innovations
We never stand still. We’re constantly seeking out and embracing new technologies and innovations that streamline our processes, enhance reliability, and prepare our networks for the future. By adopting cutting‑edge tools and forward‑thinking systems, we ensure our services continue to evolve in line with the industry’s highest standards.
Incursion warning systems
We are using an advanced, digitally enabled unit that fits securely onto standard traffic cones, creating a virtual safety perimeter around any work zone. This 24/7 device monitors for incursions and instantly alerts the workforce through visual and audible warnings, giving them crucial seconds to react.
