BENEFITS OF WORKING AT WIRE BELT

We encourage our employees to use their annual leave to take time out, improve work-life balance and re-energise and rest.

We value the contribution, effort and loyalty of our employees and operate a discretionary birthday leave policy, which allows employees to take one day off each year to relax and celebrate their birthday. Employees are eligible after completing one years’ service.

Every ten years employees are entitled to an extra two weeks holiday which we encourage them to tag on to their existing holiday to take an extended and complete break from work. For example, in the past, some of our employees have used this time to fulfil lifelong ambitions such as visiting family in long distance countries.

We encourage our employees to increase their skills and knowledge where required to enable them to carry out their jobs effectively. We also offer career development opportunities wherever we can.

We want our employees to continuously learn in a high-performance environment and as a result, we offer a variety of growth opportunities for employees, with succession planning constantly in mind.

All of our staff are eligible for enrolment in our reward scheme after completion of 3 months service. Following completion of 5 years’ service, employees are also eligible for our Enhanced Flexible Cash funding.

We provide a discretionary Company Sick Pay Scheme for any employee who is unfortunate enough to suffer from ill-health during their employment. This is managed within a fair and consistent framework.

The bereavement of a close relative can be one of the toughest periods somebody has to go through. Wire Belt offer help and support as well as compassionate leave to any employee who suffers a bereavement.

Wire Belt are aware that at times life can be tough, for countless different reasons. We provide a confidential 24 hour / 365 days a year counselling line, where a trained professional can speak to our employees and offer support and advice.

Wire Belt offer all employees a non-contributory life assurance scheme and will pay a lump sum to their nominated beneficiary in the unfortunate event of their death in service.

To help our employees save for their retirement, they are automatically enrolled into our employee/employer contributory pension scheme upon joining our company (providing they meet the required criteria). All employees have the option to opt out of the scheme if they wish.

The high standard and quality of service we provide our customers is down to the efforts and loyalty of our employees. Long service awards are an opportunity for the company to demonstrate that the contribution our employees make is valued.

Wire Belt have five trained first aiders, as well as eight mental health first aiders on site. We also have a fully equipped first aid room, , and a defibrillator on site.

Our staff benefit from free tea and coffee making facilities and other modern appliances in our kitchen areas such as microwaves, fridges, and toasters for their own use. We also provide sanitary products in our female rest rooms.

We believe in creating a happy work environment where our employees enjoy coming to work and work to their full potential. Throughout the year, Wire Belt organise a number of social events for our employees to enjoy, giving us time to socialise and celebrate our hard work as one big family!

Many of our employees are from the area local to their workplace and we aim to build long term relationships with the local community and local groups. The Company sponsors local charities which support vulnerable people, many of which are nominated by employees.
