Corporate & Social Responsibility

We recognise the contribution of our people to Helphire Group plc's performance and profitability and have core values, supported by policies, to maintain and develop good working relationships.

We are committed to the principle and practice of equal opportunity in employment. We do not tolerate discrimination, bullying or harassment. We apply common terms and conditions to both temporary and permanent staff and have policies which are in line with ACAS guidelines and which comply with relevant UK and European Human Rights and employment legislation.

We ensure effective communication with our people through the quarterly employee newsletter, RIPTIDE staff association meetings, regular publications, twice yearly Director briefings, one-to-one updates and suggestion
schemes.

All of our staff have twice yearly performance appraisals in which objective setting, training and development are integral parts. We run management development programmes to assist our managers in their roles. Our sites at Peterlee and Northwich have Investors in People accreditation.

By benchmarking salaries annually using third party data and offering a range of benefits including pension, save as you earn share options, childcare vouchers, subsidised café and discounts on sporting facilities goods/services, the Group seeks to provide a competitive reward package.
