Agilisys

Opportunity and engagement

Agilisys is one of the largest employee owned organisations in the UK, having made the innovative transition to become an employee owned business in April 2015. Our unique status allows our employees to have greater engagement and ownership in the future growth and success of Agilisys.

A balanced approach

At Agilisys, we are passionate about diversity. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we want our workforce to reflect and incorporate the talents of the diverse communities in which we provide services.

Career progression

Building a long-term career

At Agilisys, we recognise the importance of providing clear opportunities for career development and progression, both for employees and for the business as a whole.

To enable this, we have a clear employment value proposition comprising four core elements:

• Culture & structure
  The scale of Agilisys, the way we are organised, and the way we go about things make us unique. Our employee owners have a say, have representation, and have a stake in the success of our business.
  
• Growth & opportunity
  The pace of growth and change in our business means learning, development and career growth are part of business as usual for Agilisys.
  
• Reward & satisfaction
  Agilisys strives to reward performance but additionally offers employees the chance to engage in meaningful work that improves the experience we all have as citizens.
  
• Performance Management Framework
  We have a structured Performance Management Framework, which ensures all employees have an opportunity to give and receive feedback on their work to date; review and set objectives; identify learning and development needs; and assess their skills against the requirements of their role.
  
  The Framework is flexible enough to meet individual needs: Agilisys has grown out of an entrepreneurial culture, and we encourage our employees to develop and progress into new and challenging roles, often of their own creation, designed to fit their skills and our clients’ needs.

Learning, developing & excelling

All of our employee owners are empowered and encouraged to actively engage with the business through our employee ownership trust status. But our commitment doesn't stop there.

We know that the provision of high quality learning and development is integral to engaging employees, supporting them in the development of a long-term careers, and delivering the best possible level of service to our clients.

Our dynamic environment gives our people a great opportunity to accelerate their learning, tackle new challenges, and take on new responsibilities while being fostered by a collaborative working approach.

We share the concept of 'One Agilisys' with all our employees: a common mission, vision and set of behaviours promoting cross-organisational relationships that foster learning and growth.

Individual development

Individuals are supported in their understanding and ability in four critical areas: customer satisfaction, financial capability, business growth and managing people. Each year business unit, team and individual objectives are aligned to each core area, and a full learning and development programme is provided to support their achievement. Programme design varies from individual e-learning, through structured courses, to employee-led action learning forums and project teams.

Broader learning opportunities

The learning and development calendar continues to evolve through the year as specific needs and requests arise, addressing a range of issues including industry specific skills, broad sector and customer knowledge and generic management and leadership capability. We specifically ensure that the Agilisys culture and values are understood and reflected in our all programmes, setting out how our values, Passion, Innovation and Integrity, are translated into key behaviours and disciplines and providing the opportunity to practice and receive feedback in a safe environment.

Sharing success

In addition to the career development our programmes offer to our employees, we are also delighted to see the Agilisys clients also benefit, not just through the quality of service supported by this approach, but also by our ability and willingness to deliver many of our these programmes directly to their employees.
