 Pertemps is listed in the prestigious Sunday Times Top 100 companies to work for in the UK.
Carmen Watson, Pertemps joint Managing Director, said: “This was our first year at attempting to gain a place in this list and we are absolutely delighted with this achievement.”
“Pertemps is a longstanding family based company with people focussed culture and values, to see this recognised in such an esteemed report is wonderful and testimony to the hard work and dedication shown by our employees.” Continued Kent Thompson, Pertemps joint Managing Director.
The 100 Best Companies To Work For survey will be on sale
to the general public on Sunday 11 March 2007. This survey sets the benchmark for research into employee satisfaction in the British workplace and draws on the responses of over 150,000 employees from across 657 companies in the UK.
The Sunday Times used a proven research process specifically designed to capture data from the British workforce. The poll consisted of 70 rigorously tested questions relating to several aspects of the workplace, including overall environment, leadership, teamwork, personal development and charitable activities.
This survey is the second triumph for Pertemps this year after they were recently awarded a Star Status Accreditation by the Best Companies organisation. Star Status is awarded in recognition of Pertemps dedication to employee engagement throughout Pertemps.
Pertemps expand on commercial service
Pertemps in Burton have launched a new commercial outsourcing scheme aimed to serve small to medium sized business.
This new service has been developed to provide additional help to business that do not have the time or resources to carry out many of the day-to-day administration tasks which are integral to the running of any business.
Companies with large ad-hoc projects that need to be completed in a short timescale are now also using this commercial service.
The idea for this initiative came about after many clients requested help with general administration duties such as PowerPoint presentations, large volume typing and consolidation of CV’s.
The addition of this new service from Pertemps means they offer clients a full range of solutions from helping with administration tasks, providing temporary cover to offering full time staffing. All these services guarantee to be completed within a reasonable timescale and are offered on all types of work. Larger jobs are backed with a full bank of temporary skilled workers who available to provide a complete service.
A common theme in small business is that Directors and entrepreneurs have great business minds but they often lack the computer and administration skills support the business. Laurie Allen, Consultant at Pertemps, said: “At Pertemps we have always valued and taken the time to look after our clients and provide them with the best possible service.
“We have found this new service very popular with all our clients. Small businesses often require extra support but do not have the time, resources or money to recruit temporary staff, this is an ideal solution.”
New regulations drive industry forward
Businesses who employ drivers are warned of new industry legislation changes that will affect their industry.
Pertemps Recruitment Partnership, who operate a specialised drivers recruitment division from branches throughout the UK are more than aware of the recent changes and urge other business to keep abreast of all new legislation.
Debbie Osborne, Branch Manager of Pertemps in Southampton advises on the regulation changes facing employers and drivers. “All new vehicles as of 1st May last year need to be fitted with the new digital tachograph by law. To date, however, only 20% of drivers have applied for digital cards.
Debbie added: “It is imperative that all drivers apply for these cards. Pertemps offer free training to all our HGV drivers and reimburse the cost of the digital tachograph card once they have worked for a period of 10 weeks to ensure all our drivers are fully compliant.”
Further regulations are coming into force from 11 April that include changes to how work breaks are taken alongside daily and weekly rest periods.
The Pertemps drivers division has been very successful and as a result has many loyal and dedicated drivers working for the company, drivers such as Richard Stockley who has just completed his ten years of service as a driver for the company.
Richard currently drives for Pertemps as an LGV driver and is registered with the Southampton branch. In his decade of loyal service he has worked for over 100 different clients, delivering anything from containers to parcels and watercress to pallets of bricks.
Richard, who recently received a gold watch to reward him for his ‘Decade of Delivering said: “I really enjoy the flexibility of working for different companies and being paid by one employer. I never go without work, which adds security to being a ‘temp driver’. I also receive many other benefits which help keep me happy in doing what I do”.
