Parasol has an annual motivational plan setting out a variety of special, entertaining events/activities for staff to look forward to throughout the year. They ask volunteers from across the business to help come up with ideas for events and take ownership of planning and running the activities on the day. Parasol's customer service team celebrated Customer Service week with team activities and a competition to come up with a bright idea to make their customers love Parasol even more. They promoted a bit of healthy competition amongst teams in their health and wellbeing/sports week.

The Chief Executive believes that Parasol's most important asset is the people. He gets a kick out of seeing people developing and performing to the best they can be because he recognises that each individual success leads to an even more successful future for Parasol. On occasions where a team is out of the office at team building events for example and the department is being operated by a skeleton staff, the Chief Executive regularly mucks in, emerging from his office to answer phones and respond to queries normally picked up by the team. This really builds morale amongst those looking on.

Individuals who perform well are given the opportunity to take on more responsibility or become involved in different projects in the future.
