Benefits of Longhurst
Well, the evidence speaks for itself. For a start, we have
Silver Investors in
People status, with the latest inspection report
praising our open door culture, two-way communications,
approachable and supportive management, and our approach to
learning and development. The results of our
latest staff survey also showed high levels
of satisfaction, with the overall rate for the Group up 4% to
73.7%, and action plans and targets being developed to raise this
even higher.
All this means that our people vote with their
feet, with around a third of employees having worked for the Group
for at least 10 years. This gives us one of the best staff
retention rates of any company and enviable stability in an
ever-changing world.
However, if you are successful in being
offered a job with us, don’t expect an easy ride. We pride
ourselves on continually challenging ourselves to do things
differently and better so that we can deliver excellent customer
care in line with our values and we expect all our
staff to do the same. In return, you’ll enjoy some excellent
benefits, including above average pay for the areas we work in, a
positive working environment, and a strong commitment to
health and safety
and sustainability. We also have a
number of family friendly policies, including job share and home
working arrangements, and offer an external confidential
counselling service.
