HR and Staff Development
Human Resources and Staff Development
The Furnishing Service aims to be a model employer in how it recruits, retains and develops staff. This will be achieved via the development of the following measures:
- A management culture which praises and rewards achievement
- A climate of trust and co-operation
- Look to find solutions rather than apportion blame
- Openly and constructively consult with staff
- Monitor and implement training requirements
- Empower staff to deliver services
- Recruit in a rigorous and robust manner
- Provide the right tools and equipment
The most important asset of the company is the staff. The commitment to the staff and the drive for 'togetherness' is demonstrated by the company profit share scheme. At the end of each year, each member of staff will receive a share of the profits, which bolsters the ‘can do’, approach and provides a share in the success of the company.
In addition there is a company pension scheme, uniforms and tools are provided and staff will be able to purchase products at discounted prices
Staff Training
All employees will be interviewed on an annual basis to formally assess their development and training needs. In addition, regular meetings and 1:1's will be held to discuss operational issues and develop the service.
The company aims to obtain continuous improvement via training and development by adopting the following principles-:
- Promote the development of staff
- Ensure training needs are assessed
- Allocate reasonable resources for training
- Develop team building
- Increase experience and skills through voluntary job swaps
