The number of people employed across the Group at the end of 2011 totalled 445, of which 52 are based at head office. Our aim is to be the employer of choice in our sector. As a consequence of recruiting the best people with entrepreneurial flair, we have high performing staff who deliver Capco’s demanding business plan.
During 2012 we will be launching an internal people brand ‘MyCapco’ which will incorporate the following areas:
- performance
- reward
- learning and development
- giving back
- well-being
Under this new internal brand we will be launching internal learning and development programmes that will enhance the capability and performance of our people. In 2012 we also plan to introduce succession planning at all levels within the business and launch a corporate intranet site to improve internal communications.
Typically, we accelerate career development for individuals by giving them significant responsibility early in their careers. Our fast moving business requires high performance at all levels so we have introduced a new review process that measures performance in key skills and sets individual objectives that are clearly linked to Company strategy.
We believe that high performance should be recognised and therefore bonus awards are linked to ratings received during the review process. Furthermore, as part of our remuneration strategy employees participate in our share schemes ensuring alignment to business strategy.
We value the well-being of our workforce and aim to encourage healthy and balanced lifestyles. Diversity is important to us and we recognise the business benefits of employing people with varied outlooks. The ratio of women to men within our Senior Management team is 1:1.
Our people are supported in their professional development through further academic study. We currently have a number of graduates working towards their final RICS APC assessment and two junior members of our Finance Team are working towards formal professional qualification. Aware of the challenges that young people are facing entering the job market, we aim to provide work experience placements across the business.
