Yorkshire Water Services Ltd

They reward and recognise employees for their work and contributions in a number of ways. The organisation operates performance related pay and employees receive quarterly appraisals where they are assessed on their contribution to the organisation in terms of their behaviour, completion of key priorities and carrying out their role. Yorkshire Water also run a recognition scheme where employees are given vouchers by their managers as a token award to recognise their achievements. It may be used for people who have demonstrated their values in an outstanding way, to celebrate a great piece of work or to say 'thank you' for contributions which would not otherwise be rewarded in their basic salary.

Yorkshire Water has a strong employee supported volunteering programme as the foundation of its Community Investment Programme. Their volunteering activities focus on education and the environment and employees are able to choose from a selection of opportunities including reading with a child for 1 hour a week and becoming science and engineering ambassadors. Yorkshire Water has four education centres across the Yorkshire region providing free visits to primary, secondary and further education students. These visits encompass national curriculum requirements and educate future customers on issues to do with clean and waste water treatment. The organisation has a well established environment community made up of a number of different dedicated teams with specific environment related responsibilities. The teams meet on a regular basis to ensure the business as a whole has a joined up approach to the environment.
