Arcus recognises that as a business our success depends on attracting and retaining the most talented staff in their respective fields of expertise and providing a healthy and supportive environment that promotes their personal well-being.
As a genuine people business Arcus seeks to:
- Operate with the highest levels of professional integrity
- Ensure equality and diversity of opportunity
- Invest in the development and training of our people
- Recognise and reward the contribution that our people make
- Create a safe and healthy working environment
Examples of some of our policies:
Arcus is committed to effective partnership working with our employees and actively seeks opportunities to engage with them through regular office meetings, employee forums and through quality, health and safety and environmental working groups.
Our employee benefits go beyond the minimum legislative requirements and include generous holiday entitlement, competitive salaries and company bonus scheme. We operate a flexible working policy whereby the company endeavours, wherever possible, to tailor working hours and conditions to meet individual needs.
Arcus supports employees financially through maternity and paternity periods. We subscribe to ‘Childcare Plus’ a government approved benefit that allows staff to receive part of their salary free of tax and national insurance to pay for registered or approved childcare.
Through the Government’s Green Transport Plan, our staff are taking advantage of a TAX FREE bicycle. The ‘Cycle to work Scheme’, promoted by the Department of Transport, is intended to benefit both Arcus and our employees by creating a healthier workforce and reducing carbon emissions whilst giving significant national insurance and tax benefits.
We know the value of our people and demonstrate this by maintaining our ‘Investors in People’ accreditation. We encourage their development, recognise their achievements and endeavour to look after all aspects of their personal well-being.
