In 2011 Interdean introduced the Great Ideas Forum. They invited employees to submit their ideas to improve the way they work and incentivised participation by rewarding employees whose ideas were chosen to be implemented. When the results are published, Interdean plan to widely publicise the detailed information to all of their staff. They also plan to run a series of workshops to discuss the results of the survey, which will focus on sharing what they are doing well and acknowledging and coming up with action plans on how they can improve employee engagement. They plan on proactively asking for input from all departments and job levels on how they can make positive changes in the company.
Interdean is a socially responsible employer, strongly encouraging its employees to engage in philanthropic activities. One of the charitable organisations that Interdean has supported for a number of years is Marie Curie Cancer Care. They hold an annual Rugby 7s Tournament in aid of this fantastic cause and this year's event was held in August at the London Wasps Training Ground. The day was a very enjoyable event, with many of Interdean's employees turning up to lend a hand with the day's activities. Family entertainment was provided alongside the day's great sporting efforts, including a bouncy castle and sweets and cake stall. Fuel for the athletes was provided in the form of a traditionally-themed Australian barbeque, sponsored by our sister company, Wridgways. Interdean has raised over £70,000 for Marie Curie in the last five years and contributed over 1000 hours of employee time in the last year to raise donations, participate in sporting events, and run bake offs.
Interdean has an annual end of summer party to thank all the staff for the hard work done throughout the peak season. This year's event saw the Best of British on show with costumes, food and drinks, music, and an appearance by the Pearly Kings and Queens.
