PEOPLE

People are at the heart of Drainforce. Our Values have been in place since our company's birth and are firmly rooted in our behaviour at work. Our continuing work with Investors in People, demonstrates our commitment to providing a challenging and stimulating work environment where individuals are encouraged to reach their potential.

Drainforce train and retain our people. We have a structured process in place to ensure that our people are set clear objectives, receive feedback and have the opportunity to fulfil their potential with many staff progressing into managerial positions within the company.

This process ensures we monitor and listen to our staff identifying their aspirations. Our belief is that by developing our people, we enable them to reach their potential, which in turn, helps achieve our overall business objectives and creates the behaviours we want to see demonstrated within the business. Appraisals are held between the employee and their Line Manager. Their purpose is to review the previous years’ objectives, set the upcoming years objectives and identify any skills gaps and training needs. There are three instances in which appraisals will take place:

• When a new starter has successfully completed their 3 months probationary period
• When an existing employee changes role within the business
• Reviewed regularly throughout the year and updated formally annually for all employees

Drainforce are currently investing in our own in-house training centre which will caters for the training needs of all Drainforce employees. It will have a dedicated area outside for confined space, NRSWA training and excavation courses. We will also be created an above ground sewer network with connections and junctions with clear pipes for Jetting training and Lining.
