In the last four years, Ecovert FM’s workforce has trebled, from a headcount of 380 to over 1200 employees, as we continue to build on our successes. Our contract portfolio is substantial, prestigious and long-term, covering health, education and government sectors. We have ambitious plans for growth, with a turnover of nearly £50m in 2005 targeted to double by 2008.

Among many benefits is membership of the Bouygues group, a truly international leader in fields such as construction and services, road building, telecommunications and media. Over 113,000 people work around the globe in more than 80 different countries. This powerful parent group adds, when required for our development, expertise and financial backing.

We want to find, attract, grow and keep high-quality individuals. Our future depends on recruiting and retaining the best. It is a priority for us to promote from within and provide the stimulation you require to succeed.

We have grown considerably in the past few years. We still have much to achieve and continued expansion of the business offers many opportunities for career development. Our appraisal and career review programmes offer personal development plans and succession planning to realise your future potential. Finally, being part of a large group with diverse interests can lead to great opportunities if you seek international mobility.

The cornerstone of our approach is to provide training that is systematic and strategic. We invest a sum equivalent to 2.5% of our salary costs each year on training and development of our staff.

This covers basic skills training and apprenticeships, as well as nationally recognised qualifications from Masters degrees to National Vocational Qualifications, Higher National Diplomas and professional studies such as CIMA and CIPD.

We encourage cross-disciplinary training and development too, such as the Graduate Trainee Scheme, evidence of our belief that this provides more versatile employees.

We positively promote equal opportunity and encourage diversity. We believe that by reaching into all groups of the population our organisation will be richer in skills and experience.

Our teams come from a range of backgrounds and interests. This helps us to maximise not just the individual but also the collective talents of our business.

We support our teams with flexibility in our work policies, which often exceed statutory requirements.

Our vision and values are based on respect. We believe that by encouraging mutual respect with our employees, we will all win. We have achieved Investor in People certification and conduct regular staff satisfaction surveys in order to monitor our relationships with you.

We aim to achieve profitable, but sustainable, development. We work with our clients to develop innovative solutions meeting their changing needs.

We have an excellent safety record and are certified to ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2000 and conform to OHSAS 18001 standards.

Ecovert FM always ensures remuneration matches performance and potential, with regular salary reviews and a calibrated benefits package. Every employee is appraised annually, with training needs identified and career development proposals reviewed.

We also run Employee Recognition Schemes: consistently high performance, outstanding acts of customer service and innovative ideas are rewarded.

We have a clear strategy for achieving our future development targets. Our success rests on unlocking and releasing the energy and ability of our employees. Without this vital ingredient, our development cannot be assured. To this end, we regularly review our career development plans and ensure that succession planning takes place. Our ability to adapt to changes in our industry keeps us at the forefront within the Bouygues Group.

We encourage greater participation in the evolution of our strategies through such initiatives as the Managers' Forum, held each quarter to discuss issues of importance and common interest. We also seek and encourage to promote new ideas from within Ecovert FM across the wider Group through participation in the annual Innovation Competition.
