About Motivcom Plc

Senior management demonstrates their commitment to the values of the organisation daily by reflecting the business' informal tone of voice, both in their behaviours and how they recognise and reward the high quality work their people achieve. All the directors operate an informal 'open door' policy, whereby they are accessible to all staff and welcome questions or suggestions outside of their meetings of course. They also maintain high visibility and accessibility to staff, taking part in social events, such as their occasional all-staff buzz charity breakfast and lunch events.

The company takes the health and welfare of its employees very seriously, to that end they provide a full range of professional advice and confidential support via its Lifestyle Support programme which is provided by a third party provider of independent experts. This programme is provided to all employees and it is a free, confidential service which can help with any personal, work or family issue. Available 24/7 the service puts employees in contact with a lifestyle support professional who can offer support, including telephone information, fact sheets, information packs and short-term counselling. They can even save time and legwork by searching for services such as childcare and elder care providers in local areas. Additionally there is also a website, where a wealth of articles and information is available. Issues covered include but are not restricted to work-life balance, relationships, childcare, health and well-being, bereavement and loss, debt, disability and illness, stress, care of elderly people, anxiety and depression, family issues, education and consumer rights. They offer this programme to all employees immediately upon their start with the business. The programme is confidential and there is no limit to employees on the number of issues they can support, or the number of times they can use the site/service.

Each summer the company holds a themed summer party.  This year it was based around the Football World Cup finals. The company provided food, drinks and a variety of entertainments and competitions throughout the day with colleagues positively encouraged to get involved. In the weeks leading up, they also launched a fantasy world cup league competition with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places - nearly 60 staff took part. This year they were able to provide Segway's for colleagues to "try out" along with some more familiar "games", such as "test your strength", "hoop the ducks", and "crazy golf". On the day employees were encouraged to wear casual clothes and were welcome to sport their favourite football teams' shirts if they wanted to. The party featured a face-painting artist, table football and a penalty shootout competition. On the day a fish and chip lunch was provided and a healthy alternative, and soft drinks. The divisions of the company get fully immersed in the activities of the day, and competition between the various departments can get quite fierce. A full range of photos are provided after the event, and a general round up of the day's activities are fed back via the Buzz platforms.
