Coloplast has continued to achieve The Sunday Times ‘top 100’ league table of best companies to work for, coming in at number 69. It is the fifth year running that the company has been named as one of the best medium-sized companies to work for in the UK.

Sam Sedwill, human resources director at Coloplast, said: “To achieve such an accreditation is a fantastic achievement and is testament to the commitment we have to building an open and inclusive culture. It is great to have employees confirm we are doing lots of the right things!”

The accreditation, which follows a star rating system, is based on employee feedback. It recognises organisations which respect employee engagement and wellbeing and credit these as part of the success and growth of their company.

Over 1,050 businesses took part in the surveys this year with employees being asked questions which described the leadership, wellbeing, community engagement and personal growth opportunities at their workplace.

In the survey Coloplast staff stated that they felt they could make a valuable contribution to the success of the company and they were excited about where the firm is going. Other valued initiatives included the excellent customer service training, recognition awards and the open encouragement to develop better products and systems.

The positive feedback from staff led to Coloplast making it to number 69 in the top 100.

Benefits

We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive and competitive benefits package. Coloplast also has a flexible benefits scheme which gives employees the option of purchasing benefits that suit them and their lifestyle.

This includes:

Annual Leave

The company provides 28 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. Employees also have the opportunity to sell up to five days holiday in any calendar year, subject to usual departmental rules.

Profit Related Pay

We are proud of our achievements in the marketplace and want our employees to share in our success. The company therefore has a profit related payment scheme, which is open to all employees, after the necessary qualifying period.

Share Incentive Plan

The Coloplast Share Incentive Plan is a scheme which allows shares to be provided to employees in a tax-efficient (and NIC-efficient) way. These shares are known as "Partnership Shares".

We believe that the use of Partnership Shares will extend and strengthen the culture of employee share ownership that we already have and encourage you to feel more a part of the company and more able to share in its success.

Health and Wellbeing

All employees receive free, personal private medical cover through Aviva. Through our Flexible Benefits system, it is possible to purchase Aviva medical cover for family members, dental cover for yourself and your family and a choice of comprehensive health checks. Critical illness cover can also be purchased for yourself and your partner.

In addition, we have negotiated corporate rates with a range of gyms and leisure centres. We also provide a confidential 24 hour Employee Assistance Programme for all employees.

Group Self Invested Personal Pension

A contributory Company Pension Scheme is available for all employees.

Life Assurance

To give you peace of mind we also provide a death in service benefit which equates to four times your salary.

Childcare Vouchers

Coloplast support the Computershare scheme which provides Tax and NI efficient vouchers for employees to use to pay for a wide range of childcare.

Learning & Development

We are strongly committed to learning and development. In our last financial year, we spent three times the national average and 2013 saw a further increase in our investment. We have a range of learning and development options including on-the-job training, e-learning, facilitated courses and externally recognised professional qualifications. These all form part of our Coloplast Academy, an award winning learning and development portal.

We are delighted to be reaccredited for Investors in People in 2014 demonstrating our commitment to delivering a high standard of Learning & Development

Finally, as a business we also run a number of bonus, reward and recognition schemes.

In 2013, the Sales Person of the Year from each sales division and the Employee of the Year from Head Office all won a fully expensed trip for two to Antigua. In 2014 the lucky employees will be going to the Seychelles.
