Workplace
Fostering engagement
As an equal opportunities employer we're committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment for all our staff. We undertake to train and develop our people to help them realise their potential.
Staff can introduce family and friends to the business via our 2-week work experience programme.
We encourage colleagues to get involved in their local communities and take time off for volunteer work. We see it as a positive that the people who work here gain a more rounded experience.
Building on our community interests, many colleagues elect to work with young people. Mentoring is a popular option and we're developing strong connections with local schools.
VocaLink has been taking part in Investors in People (IIP) for 10 yrs and have just been reaccredited at Silver level which puts us in the top 2% of IIP participants. VocaLink's IIP assessor commented: "It is clear that at a strategic level the organisation understands and attends to the critical business of turning learning and improvement into new behaviours."
