Skills Pledge

P & I GENERATORS HAVE MADE THE SKILLS PLEDGE!

August 2009

P & I Generators are proud to announce that we are part of the nationally recognised Skills Pledge.

The Skills Pledge is a voluntary commitment by the leadership of a company to support all of its employees to develop their basic skills, including literacy and numeracy and to work towards relevant, valuable qualifications to at least NVQ Level 2 (equivalent to 5 good GCSEs).

The purpose is to ensure that all staff are skilled, competent and able to make a full contribution to the success of the company. Research shows that one of the keys to a productive, successful business is having a skilled and competent workforce. The Skills Pledge is an opportunity for our business to show publicly and demonstrably the importance we place on investing in the skills of our staff.

The Skills Pledge recognises that everyone - the employee, the organisation and the Government - need to invest more in skills.

P & I Directors Paul Benfield and Paul Terzza were happy to endorse this corporate commitment covering the whole company.

"We are making a public commitment to enable our staff - in whichever way works best for us - to gain the basic skills and competencies that are valuable in supporting our business needs and future employability, and to achieve relevant qualifications to recognise those skills" says Paul Benfield.

Paul Terzza explains "Its value is a signal of voluntary commitment and partnership between management and employees to develop the skills of the staff and so support the success of the organisation."

P & I see this as an excellent indication to our staff that we support their opportunities to be the best that they can be.
