We are delighted to announce that we have invested heavily in enhancing our Employee Value Proposition (EVP), reinforcing our commitment to recruiting, nurturing and developing the top talent in the industry.
Core changes to our EVP include increases to basic salaries, with an industry-leading guaranteed £30k salary for the first 12 months for all sales and aftersales roles. Additionally, maternity, paternity, adoption and sick pay have been enhanced to better support employees when they need it most. We have also increased annual leave allowance, ensuring a better work-life balance for our colleagues.
To recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions across the business, we have launched our first-ever Excellence Awards, voted for by General Managers across all departments. These awards celebrate not only performance but also attitudinal achievements, ensuring the behaviours and values that drive success are rewarded, while shining a spotlight on those who exemplify the best of what we stand for.
To acknowledge long-term commitment, we have also established long-service awards for employees working across all business areas who reach milestones in their careers.
Further demonstrating the emphasis on improving our culture and enhancing our people offering for the wider success of the business, we recently created a new role - General Manager for Transformation & Talent. This new role will involve overseeing our transformation and talent strategy as we continue to navigate a challenging business environment, while ensuring we thrive in an ever-evolving landscape.
To increase collaboration and employee engagement, we have, for the first time, begun holding town hall meetings. These gatherings provide employees with the opportunity to hear from leadership, gain insights into our direction and have their voice heard, reinforcing our culture of transparency and collaboration.
Here’s what our CEO, Steven Eagell, had to say on our Employee Value Proposition improvements:
“The enhancements made to our EVP reflect ongoing investments in our workforce and our commitment to making Steven Eagell Group a great place to work, where our employees feel valued, supported and empowered. We look forward to strengthening this by celebrating the amazing contributions taking place across our business later in 2025 with our new Excellence Awards. Our people are at the very heart of our success and we believe that creating a culture of collaboration and recognition cultivates an environment where our employees are equipped to deliver excellence.”
