Our Commitment

Our ongoing commitment is four-fold:

  • To our customers – to provide a professional, supportive service that takes account of our customers’ needs and helps them to achieve their employment and skills goals whilst continuously striving to improve the service by taking account of customer feedback and building recommendations into the service
  • To our employees – to recognise their invaluable contribution to the success of the company and to appreciate that by helping them to develop their professional excellence, the service will continuously develop and improve. This will be done through:
    • Providing and supporting professional development
    • Listening to staff feedback through regular team meetings and via the appraisal process
    • Recognising staff development and improvement through fair and just reward that recognises the individual contribution of team members
  • To our stakeholders (funding bodies) – to meet and surpass the goals and objectives set out by our funding partners and to do this in accordance with the delivery budgets
  • To our employers – to ensure that they receive an excellent service, in terms of receiving appropriate candidates who meet their requirements, thereby helping them to achieve their business objectives

As a result, we will achieve our objective of supporting unemployed and economically inactive Londoners from some of the most deprived communities, to achieve their goals of improving their skills, securing sustained employment and making a better future for themselves.
