We listen to our people…
Having invested time and effort in recruiting the very best people, we want to listen to their ideas. We’ve implemented the following to enable us to do that:Ideas Count
Employees are encouraged to submit their ideas to improve our business to our MD. For the ideas that are subsequently implemented, the employee earns themselves £100! From here the idea will be shared with the World Challenge staff to ask for their feedback.
Breakfast with the Boss
Every month invitations are sent out to a small number of World Challenge staff from across the business asking them to attend breakfast with our Managing Director, Nigel Miller.
Here, they are openly encouraged to discuss what they are enjoying in their roles, any difficulties they are experiencing and any ideas that they can suggest for improvement. This opportunity for honest two way communication helps foster close working relationships, all over a tasty breakfast!
Work in Partnership Group
A group made up of World Challenge staff act as a communication network in order ensure World Challenge employees are consulted with and informed of any proposed or actual changes within the business. It has been set up to provide additional channels for communication, an opportunity for two way feedback and as a platform for collective views to be communicated.
