Bibby Financial Services is the UK's leading independent invoice finance specialist, providing cash flow funding for small and medium enterprises mainly in the construction, recruitment and foreign exchange sectors.
The cornerstone of their business is their values - 'Work Together, Be Better, Trust Each Other, Be Innovative and Do the Right Thing' – which are reinforced daily from the CEO downwards. With the transition to home working becoming a permanent fixture, Bibby has moved training online and enhanced its remote working practical support with senior leaders communicating through mass participation “live” events to ensure all colleagues stay connected.
Being innovative was demonstrated in the company's response to the pandemic; recognising that the health and wellbeing of its employees was paramount a ‘Lockdown Life' microsite was set up to encourage interaction between socially-isolated colleagues. A new Future Ways of Working strategy will acknowledge that 97% of employees want to retain some home working.
Doing the right thing is apparent in its new recruiting policy in which diversity and inclusion has become central to the hiring process. Adverts for jobs will be gender neutral to promote flexible working and make roles more attractive to female candidates and those with caring responsibilities. Hiring managers go through an Inclusive Recruitment module to assist them in increasing the diversity of the company's talent pool.
I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me
Formal management development is supported through both internal and external programmes, leading to professional qualifications. During the pandemic, Bibby introduced specific training on how to manage colleagues remotely. An Aspiring Manager programme offers colleagues an opportunity to learn basic managerial skills, performance management and supporting wellbeing.
My work is an important part of my life
Female members of the sales team hosted a successful session to promote diversity and inclusion, focusing on the challenges faced in some areas of the business. Similar sessions are planned for departments perceived to be male-dominated, such as IT and finance, to encourage more women to apply.
The experience I gain from this job is valuable for my future
Bibby believes attracting, retaining and developing its people is the key to continuing success. A coaching programme, led by the executive committee, is dedicated to continuous improvement of all employees, developing teams that are highly-focused to achieve results.
