Business in the Community are proud of their staff involvement in the ongoing process of simplifying and focusing their vision, values and core messages so that they better meet the needs of staff. They have been through a process of developing and refining these which has been highly consultative.

This work has fundamentally changed how they represent themselves externally and communicate what they do internally.

Business in the Community are particularly proud of their annual 'All Staff' and their Roadshows in achieving engagement. These include the Staff Awards "Pink Flamingos", which are based around the company values with awards for collaboration. Business in the Community continue to refine the way they build their values into their performance review and recruitment processes and provide workshops and coaching to managers in applying their values. The company also run a session at National Induction focusing on their vision and values which includes a discussion exercise around real-life examples of their values in the workplace.

Business in the community now bring all of their staff together, face-to-face, on an annual basis for an "All Staff" event. The latest was in February 2015 when colleagues gathered in for a day at Porcester Hall in London for networking, table discussions, interactive presentations from senior managers and stakeholders and learning. These activities were interspersed with videos made by individual teams, introducing themselves to the rest of the organisation. These were brief but innovative and entertaining. Our 2015 ‘All Staff' was preceded by the company's evening AGM at Camden's Roundhouse. All of the staff were invited to the event which was followed by an evening meal, "Pink Flamingo" staff awards and an evening party. Business in the Community booked staff into local hotels so that they were all then able to join our both the evening and daytime activities.
