Supporting our staff
The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by over 10,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets every day needs, such as the weekly shop, or a surprise trip to the dentist. We are an Investors in People accredited company. During our last assessment in 2022, the following key strengths were highlighted:
• The provision and quality of learning and development, particularly the management development and apprenticeship programmes.
• Consistent performance management, a strong “family” culture, a great sense of empowerment, collaboration, and encouragement to progress through increased skills and responsibilities.
• A notable focus on continuous improvement and innovation in many parts of the business.
As a result of these strengths, Dennis Eagle Limited achieved Established or Advanced level in over half of the 27 themes in the revised Investors in People Standard. We reached IiP Gold standard in ‘Understanding people’s potential’ and ‘Supporting learning and development’.
77% believe we ‘manage performance well’.
76% of our workforce when surveyed stated that they have opportunities to learn at work. Management and employee feedback shows that performance is being consistently managed and employees feel listened to regarding their aspirations and development requirements. Managers also report being more focused on addressing skills gaps and on succession planning for their departments.
