PROFESSIONAL RECRUITMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE

General - CSR Policy

At BWD we realise that our actions have an impact on our people, clients, candidates and the community. We strive to be a responsible employer and are committed to supporting the wider community and environment as best we can.

As an Employer
We aim to be an employer of choice. We believe that our employees are our greatest asset and strive to offer them opportunities to develop and fulfil their potential in a supportive environment.

As an employer we:

  • Provide employee benefits beyond the minimum legislative requirements including death in service benefits of 4 x annual salary, a generous annual holiday entitlement, and competitive salaries with one of the industry’s leading bonus systems.  We are currently introducing a company contributory pension scheme so that we can       help our employees build pensionable benefits for the future. In addition, we financially support our employees through long term sickness / maternity periods
  • Provide additional benefits such as all-inclusive holidays to luxurious destinations including St Lucia and Barbados for employees who achieve certain levels of business production. In addition, we offer our employees the opportunity to win travel breaks on the Orient Express shopping trips to New York and a week in the Rockies.
  • ‘Cycle to work Scheme’ – We have recently become members of this scheme promoted by the Department for Transport in order to reduce the carbon omissions from our employee’s vehicles and also to encourage a healthy workforce. 

  • BWD is an equal opportunities employer. We regard diversity as a key value and are committed to diversity in our dealings with employees, candidates and customers.
    Our Equal Opportunities Policy is attached at Annex 1.

Health and Safety

  • We have a health and safety policy which is embedded into our operations. This ensures we provide proper control of all health and safety risks within the organisation and that the safety of our employees, contractors, clients, candidates and visitors is paramount for the Company.  Our Health and Safety Policy is attached at Annex 2.

  • The Company provides appropriate risk assessments and all staff are aware of our Health and Safety Policy and their obligations. Contractors and temporary staff are also made aware of their obligation to comply with Health and Safety requirements.

Clients

We view both our clients and our employees as our most important assets. Meeting their requirements is paramount to our aims as a Company. We are a responsible supplier and aim to ‘go the extra mile’ in meeting our clients’ goals.

We are constantly looking for ways to add value to our clients by giving real value for money. This includes:

  • Increasing rebate periods;
  • Reduced payment terms for candidates sourced from job boards;
  • Part payments for certain clients in order to help their cash flow;
  • Operating free salary surveys to our valued clients;
  • Only charging our clients once a placement has been secured – no placement no fee; and
  • Consultants who offer independent advice to our clients concerning their recruitment strategy.
