Dawson’s Ltd. – Company In-service Training

Here at Dawson’s, we believe in continually training our staff, so that they can grow personally and our company can grow as a result. We offer regular training sessions for all our staff and you can also apply for any training specific to yourself that you think could be beneficial to you and the company.

When you join Dawson’s, we will create a personal development plan for you. In consultation with you, we will identify your strengths and weaknesses, and take into account the way you like to learn. We will review what we’ve agreed with you at least once a year to evaluate your progress. At these sessions, you can discuss with your line manager any training that you feel you require.

Notes on training that you may wish to apply for:

– training needs to be job-related for Dawson’s to pay for it

– if the training is useful to Dawson’s, but not necessary to someone’s job, you’ll pay 50% of the course costs and we can pay the rest

– employees must pay us back if they don’t complete or pass the course (if evaluation is part of the course)

There is a Training Application Form available on the company website. Fill it in digitally and submit it to your line manager by email. Be careful to include the dates, training fees, any travel or accommodation expenses and how the training applies to you and your role at Dawson’s.

Company Training

The following training sessions are coming up for everyone soon:

– Dealing with difficult customers

– Coping with email loads

– Stress – spotting it and how to deal with it

– Health and safety

– Project management

Some of these courses are run by specialists who are already part of our company and others are outsourced to organisations that specialise in the relevant field.

Be a Green Office!

Engage and motivate your co-workers to buy green products and help reduce waste. Learn

more about how your office can go green!

– Recycle office paper, newspapers, beverage containers, electronic equipment and batteries. Contact your local recycling facility and establish what materials they accept.

– Consider using safer alternatives to common and potentially hazardous chemicals used in products and processes.

– For businesses, there may be federal and/or state regulations on the disposal of electronics, batteries and mercury-containing lamps, as they may contain hazardous substances.

– To help reduce waste, use two-sided printing and copying, buy supplies made with recycled content, and top up any printer cartridges you use rather than purchasing new ones – it’s cheaper and greener!

– Before replacing a computer that no longer fits your needs, investigate enhancing its capacity. Many modifications can be made with little know-how using the help of the manufacturer or a do-it-yourself guide.

– When purchasing new electronics, consider a leasing program that includes proper reuse and recycling.

– After office festivities, put leftovers in recyclable containers, and share them with family, friends, or others. Donate whole, untouched leftovers from parties to a local food bank or homeless shelter.

– Purchase office supplies in bulk or multi-packs to diminish packaging waste. You can also buy items with packaging that can be reused or recycled.

– Buy energy-efficient items in the office when buying electronics, such as computers.

Consider the durability of a product before you purchase it. Cheaper, less durable items often wear out quickly, creating waste and costing you money. Look for items that embody the concept of reuse.
