Working for Nichols plc

Employee Relations

The group is conscious that its people are key contributors to its success. We actively encourage good communications and employee relations across all of our operations.

To develop the skills and knowledge of all our people, we have created a stimulating working and learning environment, where we support a healthy work-life balance and encourage our employees to work hard and go the extra mile, but importantly, to enjoy themselves whilst at work.

To support what we do, we operate a Performance Development Review system that clearly links to performance and provides a framework for training and development.

To meet our key business priorities, we tailor our ongoing training programmes to meet competency requirements in core skills as well as management and leadership.

Our Sharesave scheme encourages share ownership in the business so that employees are able to take an active stake in the success of our company.

All these activities ensure that we continue to be recognised as an Investor in People.

The group received a National Business Award for Outstanding People Development; recognition indeed, of its commitment to providing excellent employee relations.
