Training & Development

Swish recognises that a well trained workforce that is encouraged to develop its knowledge and skills on a continuous basis will make a major contribution to the competitiveness and success of the company.

Swish is committed to sustainable development and as part of this wishes to see its workforce trained in a range of appropriate skills to achieve flexible coverage. In addition the company wishes to increase its employee’s awareness and appreciation of quality, environmental and Health & Safety issues.

Training

General

It is the general policy of Swish to provide training as neccessary as follows:

  • Review of any updates needed to areas set out in the induction

  • The company’s Corporate Responsibility policy for sustainable development

  • Requirements of the law relating to the business and its activities

  • Management skills eg communication skills, project & people management

  • Personal development eg time management, leadership, delegation, team working

  • Other training as may be needed or requested by individual employees

Individual departments draw up their own programmes to satisfy this requirement.

Training Results

Swish departmental managers maintain training plans which set out their department's training history and future training requirements. At the end of the year departments formally report levels of training completed.

The targets are:

  • 100% of all inductions completed (mandatory)

  • 80% of all planned training completed
