Envirocare Grounds Maintenance have recently teamed up with Business Link North West and are currently working together to develop a comprehensive and far reaching programme which will offer staff greater opportunities for self development. Business Link Adviser Paul Taylor this week visited the head office at New Inn Farm to discuss with Finance Manager, Janine Yates training and development opportunities for both office based and front line staff. Paul said “Business Link will source the best training providers and courses to meet the needs of Envirocare and ensure that all available funding for skills development is accessed.” As a result of the meeting, Envirocare has already signed up to Skills Pledge Plus, a funding stream derived from the European Union Social Fund, in this case aiming to improve the skills of the workforce. Janine said “this is a really positive move for Envirocare and re-emphasizes our commitment to our employees.” Paul Taylor added “when businesses invest in employee development they benefit from a boost in staff morale, in-house skills can also save company money.”
