HUMAN RESOURCES
SOEW prides its self in the high retention rate of its staff in an environment of a growing market. How does SOEW retain our most important asset-our people? If we think about the benefits of an engaged and positive workforce, this generally falls into meeting and aligning four key areas. We always ask ourselves:
Education / Training – do our people have the skills and competencies?
- Communication – Is it clear what is being asked of people?
- Reward – How will success be recognized
- Measurement – Are there clear metrics, goals, milestones and evidence to achieve the objectives
Education / Training
Employees at SOEW are made to feel they operate in an environment which enables them to learn and grow. People are hired with a particular skill set and, SOEW commits itself to a long-term plan for their development.
Communication
At SOEW Managers are responsible for directing the effort to achieve corporate aims, they filter down to the individuals what is required and expected of them, and practically how their role fits into the big picture. Employees are encouraged to recognize, accept and buy into the vision and strategy of SOEW.
Reward
Employees are made to feel a sense of equality in the way they are treated at SOEW. Rewards are applied within a consistent framework, commensurate with achievement.
Measurement
One cannot succeed if you do not know what you are expected to achieve, just as one cannot celebrate, which is vital for motivation, unless you know you have achieved a goal. Thus at SOEW reaching an important milestone is measure, acknowledged and rewarded accordingly.
