WPRG - News Letter - September 2011
September is traditionally a quieter month for WPRG and it's customers which gives us the much needed time to concentrate on planning ahead and training our operational team in preparation for the peak period. We further re-structured and recruited for permanent staff within our operational team and gave more training and development to those already in place. September also saw the last minute preparations before the AWR took effect on 1st October, 87% of our temporary workforce now have a contract signed which meets the requirements of the AWR; the final 14% to be signed will be complete once the work has been complete with the customer. A big well done to all those involved in getting the briefings, consultations and getting the contracts signed. 100% uptake so far on all those consulted which is fantastic news for both WPRG and our customers.
We have worked closely with two of the new contracts secured in the summer and have been successful in assessing and inducting staff to maintain a healthy grow with the businesses. This strengthens our position in terms of offering the right type of work to all of our loyal workforce in the 'quieter' months. We had a successful month in terms of recruiting for the new contracts but as we are now heading into peak and supporting more volume contracts we need to continue to recruit high volumes of suitable staff to continue the service. Therefore, October will be another month of massive recruitment so we expect our Resourcers to be exceptionally busy enabling our Planners to concentrate on fulfilling the requirements of our entire customer database. We will continue to offer driver recommendation bonuses as well as advertise locally, nationally and on the internet.
October's recruitment campaign will continue where we left off in September, heavily recruiting for the Driving and Industrial divisions across London, Herts and Essex.
We have exciting news about our much anticipated Management System which is currently in the trialling stages. The system will be live for our Operational and Back Office Support teams to start working with during October which will aid them in the management of all aspects of the recruitment process, our payroll, planning, administrative duties and also allow our customer base to view information in terms of auditing programs. We have spent 3 years developing this system rather than buying a generic system as it is specific to both WPRG's and our customers needs. We have had input throughout the design process from our team, customers and temporary workforce so we are confident it will exceed all expectations. Further news will be posted when the trialling stages are complete.
Driving & Industrial
WPRG is very excited about the new contracts we have recently been awarded to add to an ever growing list of Blue Chip companies we already work in partnership with. They include contracts with a two well known High Street Retail Companies; one supplying large volumes of Warehouse Operatives requiring an on-site management team, the second supplying Home Delivery drivers.
The other two most recently awarded contracts are for the supply of LGV 1 Drivers; the first being a national haulage company requiring drivers for training and ongoing and temp to perm placements on Bulk Powder Tankers and the other for trunk driving positions distributing food and drink.
This is exciting news for WPRG and means the Operations team will continue to grow allowing us to confidently work with our customers and work towards our projected grow plans for 2011.
