Hope Construction Materials

One of their key initiatives is “Hope for Others” which encourages colleagues to undertake two days paid volunteering for projects outside of work. Colleagues select their own charities and are welcome to generate support or invite their colleagues to attend. Their Executive team have been very active in this too, organising their own projects such as clearing environmental areas, cycling for charity & undertaking work at children hospice as examples. Fund raising is prominent feature across the business with frequent dress downs, charity bake off's, coffee mornings, sporting challenges etc. and colleagues are welcome to use the company's IT and social networking sites to generate support.

The company strives to create an environment where people flourish so they provide training beyond the basic skillset of their roles. Colleagues are encouraged to engage with colleagues in other parts of the business to understand the bigger picture and extend their skills. Job shadowing and job swaps are a pretty regular feature. They are proud of their leadership courses; Polishing Diamonds and The Leadership Academy. These courses penetrate all levels of the business to provide skills leading self, leading teams and leading strategy. The company has a range of formal training delivered by internal and external trainers covering all elements of the business; fixed and mobile plant operations, HGV driving, safety training, health and well-being, team working, and customer services. They also encourage people to take up these courses even if they don't directly correspond to their roles.
