What is important to us at VWFS?

We are passionate about creating an open and transparent working environment. We want to ensure we continue to have enthusiastic and robust decision makers leading our business based on their capability and merit, not on characteristics.

We believe that sharing information with our workforce can strengthen their commitment to VWFS. Every staff member plays an important role in achieving our business goals. Our managers operate an open manner which makes it easy for employees to provide feedback and ask questions freely.

Digitalisation has created new jobs, made processes more efficient and demonstrated to employees that VWFS is always progressing and becoming more innovative. We support employees who want to develop themselves and advance within the company.

We are passionate and committed in everything we do. We strive for the impossible, and encourage our employees to seize opportunities and aspire to be the best they can be. Our Mobility 2030 strategy launched in 2023 to take colleagues on a journey designed to achieve this mission. 

We encourage our employees to take time to relax and re-charge. Our Employee Assistance Programme provides a confidential service for employees whenever they need to talk about something more personal. Employees can also avail of lunchtime yoga classes, Annual Health Screening and onsite Flu Vaccines.

We offer competitive renumeration, bonus schemes, private medical insurance and access to our products. Our Employee Engagement Committee acts as a barometer of the morale of our employees, a Sports & Social Committee to bring some fun to the workplace and a Charity Committee to support charities close to our employees’ hearts’.

We actively promote a healthy work-life balance. We schedule coffee mornings and fun competitions for employees to get involved in while working from home. We offer personalised hours, part time hours, blended working etc. and one Annual Volunteer Day.
 

Balancing the demands of family, friends and other personal commitments in addition to managing our work lives is a constant struggle, which is why VWFS are doing our best to help make life easier for our employees. We offer private health insurance including family packages, banked working hours and 2 company days.

VWFS has a supportive environment where continuous learning and development is part of our everyday lives, proactively encouraging employees to step out of their comfort zone to take on new challenges.

We are fully committed to ensuring employees have the relevant knowledge, skills and expertise to perform daily duties to a standard and to acheive their full career potential. Mentoring and coaching is provided externally or by a trained expert in a particular area internally. 

There are many programmes, committees and practices available to employees which aim to improve employees experience working for VWFS. We also recognise the importance of supporting our employees and colleagues during significant life events or unexpected personal emergencies.

We want our employees to know we recognise where credit is due and that their efforts are valued. Special recognition is issued to people who have gone above and beyond. It's the small gestures that make a big difference, which is why we like to enjoy some treats when occasion calls for it!
