About Orchid Group

What is it like to work for Orchid Group

My Manager

86% of staff agreed:

I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me

Skills Pledge is a partnership between the Government and Orchid. This is a public commitment to help all employees to develop their basic skills and enable them to work towards relevant, valuable qualifications. People are the lifeblood of the Orchid business, without their passion, commitment and motivation, Orchid would not continue to prosper. When times are tough, many companies make the mistake of viewing staff training and incentives as non-essential and start looking at ways to trim their overheads. This in itself is a false economy. Orchid believe by recruiting, training and motivating their staff they will reduce staff turnover, improve moral and motivation and increase productivity - ultimately leading to increased profits. This is a people business, nothing more and nothing less.
