Our staff are our greatest business asset. We’re proud of our loyal and diverse workforce, and their commitment to achieving outstanding results.
We have developed strong and mutually respectful links with local schools, colleges and universities, which in turn attracts young people to our industry with work placements and school careers open days. Our directors and senior managers regularly visit educational establishments to give talks and answer questions on the broad spectrum of careers available to young people within the construction industry and welcome students to join us for work experience.
Greendale is very active within the Dorset Chamber of Trade and Commerce’s, ‘Young Chamber;’ This unique programme is aimed at building partnerships between the world of education and the world of business by providing high-quality, cost effective solutions for schools and colleges to give young people inspiring and motivational careers advice.
The Apprenticeship Scheme is also highly rated and utilised by Greendale, helping to procure talented young people who may not have flourished academically, but are committed to learning and developing a trade which will enable them to prosper professionally.
Continuous Growth
Our Business Plan is drawn up in direct consultation with our staff. We hold regular presentations to include and encourage staff at all levels, so they can see that the business has direction and they have a career path within that plan. We are open about our strategy for growth and listen to our people to gain their valuable input.
Development from Within
We support all our staff financially in their endeavours to gain professional qualifications with The Chartered Institute of Building, as well as assisting with further and higher educational qualification fees. We recognise the need for bright, capable and skilled young people to embrace new and emerging technology, and as a result invest in digital solutions where applicable.
Our employee’s mental and emotional health is paramount to our philosophy. Regular personal development meetings are held with all staff, where not only professional goals are strategised and discussed with their dedicated mentor, but also personal development and wellbeing. Our staff know they can speak to us at any time if they have any concerns or worries.
