The main message of the cam- paign focuses on the group's Em- ployer Value Preposition (EVP) or the offerings provided by Vassallo Group in return for the skills, capabilities and experiences a prospective employee brings to the organisation. Vassallo Group believes in growth. One of the most reward- ing factors of employment is watching the team grow and its members develop even on an individual basis. With a myriad of job possibilities within Vassallo Group, the group offers stability, reassurance and the possibility to grow in their career. The group is honoured that an impressive number of employees have formed part of the team for 20, 30 and even 40 years. Many of them moved up the ladder from the lowest ranks to the highest levels. The group encourages all members of staff to reach their full potential and does so by offering various training pro- grammes. The group also trains new employees on-the-job and guides them in achieving their goals at their own pace with the company's full support. Hard work and initiative are key factors in recognising the deter- mination of our staff. For this rea- son, the group believes that a job well-done needs to be rewarded through competitive salaries and for a number of positions and a system of performance bonuses. The group believes that loyalty should also be rewarded. With this in mind, last year it launched two schemes for its employees. Through the Employee Loyalty Reward Scheme all employees who continue with the group after three years of employment receive a yearly bonus as acknowl- edgment for their loyalty and commitment to the team. The group also values employees who reach pensionable age with the company and evaluates their hard work and service with a Retire- ment Bonus Scheme. This bonus is also topped up every year if the employee remains in employment after reaching pensionable age. Vassallo Group does its best to create a welcoming environment for all members of staff to express their opinions through staff meetings, one-to-one meetings, employee engagement surveys and also consultative meetings. The group promotes equality. It firmly believes excellence has no race, gender, sexual orientation, or physical and mental ability. It strives for excellence and this is brought about by its diverse workforce. The group promotes an inclusive work environment. Vassallo Group, through its companies, is proud to hold the Equality Mark Award from the National Commission for the Promotion of Equality (NCPE). Vassallo Group is also a culturally diverse company currently em- ploying people coming from over 50 nations. The group believes that cultural diversity ultimately leads to better results for the group. Vassallo Group encourages teamwork. This mentality is what gives the group its success. It believes that it should be there for the employees in the good and bad times and puts this belief into practice by supporting any mem- ber of who goes through rough times. This is done either through its Employee Assistance Pro- gramme run in conjunction with the Richmond Foundation or else through the Arkati Foundation, an internal set up whose aim is to assist in dire circumstances.
