As a consequence, Black Sun places employee development at the heart of the business and has made a significant investment in putting in place career development and engagement initiatives, including:

• Defined job roles and responsibilities
• A formal review system with appraisals and tailored personal development plans
• Dedicated training budgets
• Ongoing internal communications including feedback initiatives such as the employee survey
• Recognition and reward initiatives, such as bonus scheme
• Employee benefits encompassing private medical care, life insurance, critical illness cover, company pension scheme, childcare vouchers and payroll giving.

The Growing Business category is specifically for SMEs whose lesser resources are counter balanced by the imagination and flexibility they deploy for the use of their people.
