People
Wrekin recognise that people are its most important asset and acknowledge that a well-trained workforce is fundamental to the delivery of quality services. Retention of staff is a key issue and we continue to develop strategies to ensure we have a competent and motivated workforce to take on and learn new skills and responsibilities.
Wrekin also recognise the importance of engaging and empowering staff as well as making them feel valued in order to gain real commitment. A competent and motivated workforce is maintained by providing:
- An environment where people can develop to their full potential.
- Communicating at all levels as often as possible.
- Rewards for good performance.
- First class training and development opportunities.
- Leading industry award packages.
- Exceptional opportunities for planned career progression.
- Incentives for driving continuous improvement.
- Engendering a good team spirit.
The Wrekin business is built on the skills and dedication of its people and therefore makes significant investment in the development of its workforce. A comprehensive Training and Development Policy is in place, the main elements of which are:
- Induction
- Safety training
- Skills training
- Performance appraisal
- Management development
Wrekin is an equal opportunities employer and employs a workforce that reflects the diverse community at large. We operate an Equal Opportunities Policy, the aim of which is to ensure that no employee receives unfavourable treatment or is subjected to harassment on the grounds of race, sex, colour, marital status, nationality, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, disability, responsibility for dependants, age, trade union activity or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be objectively justified. |
