      • Training and development

We invest heavily in the training and development of our people and are members of both the Security and Justice Sector Skills Councils. We have worked in partnership with these Councils to develop National Vocational Qualifications which are recognised and applied across the markets in which we operate.

Employee training and development is provided at all levels and in many different formats:

• As the majority of our people have to be licensed to work, we pay for and issue them with licences following the successful completion of mandatory training programmes. In 2008 we paid for over 2,700 SIA licences.
  
• We have a dedicated training academy and training centres for our security and cash operations. These training facilities are equipped for on-line learning and simulation exercises while training is delivered by those with accredited training qualifications and operational expertise.
  
• We have also introduced trainers with ‘RovingTraining Status’, as approved by Skills for Security, to provide continuation training across our sites.
  
• Since its launch in 2007, 117 operational employees in the UK cash business have completed the ‘Bridging the Gap’ programme and 20 have been appointed into their first line management roles.
  
  

And, to ensure that our managers do not forget what it is like at grass-roots level, there is the opportunity for them to spend at least one day a year going ‘Back ToThe Floor’. In 2008, 495 employees took part, including the CEO and every member of the executive management team in our security business.
