Ongoing Staff Training and Development

From the first day of inductions training through to a regime of regular updated and monitored mandatory training requirements, all employees at BSW take part in learning initiatives.

Training needs are re-assessed on a regular basis, ensuring that all employees are able to benefit. The culture of development is firmly entrenched throughout the company, such that all staff members who are taking time out from the workplace for training can count on the support, encouragement and back-up of their team members.

Our succession planning process ensures that we are ahead of the game in giving the new generations of team leaders, supervisors and managers the right tools for the job, through integrated training monitored by our mentors and their line managers.

People make the difference. Our highly committed, motivated staff are trained to ensure that our customers receive consistently reliable, high performance products and service at all times.
