How our apprenticeship updates link to our Investors in People Gold status.
Those who follow Coinadrink Limited on social media will have seen us recently share the latest updates from our employees who are currently undertaking apprenticeship courses with us. Our passion for personal development is a big reason why we are proud to hold the Investors in People Gold status.
Learn how this prestigious accreditation is just reward for placing our staff at the heart of our company values here at Coinadrink Limited, the West Midlands vending machine operator.
A vending machine operator driven by its people.
Coinadrink Limited is one of the most successful vending machine operators in the country, with 60 years’ experience as of 2022.
We hold lots of accreditations, but it is the Investors in People Gold Status that the business is especially proud of. For Coinadrink we have always considered our people to be the greatest asset from that very first day in 1962.
If our team are happy then it is more likely that our customers will be, too. Our average length of service stands at just shy of 13 years, whilst many of our team have been with the business for over 25 years now!
Perhaps this explains why we have so many long-standing vending machine customers across the West Midlands and beyond. Our relationships with them are as much personal as they are business and we’re trusted with their vending machine services as though we are close friends.
We’re extremely proud of that. And we know who we need to thank.
From our fastest service response time in the vending machine industry to a pro-active customer care department, none of it would be possible without a committed team that work hard to go the extra mile to uphold our position as a reliable vending operator.
How Coinadrink puts its team first.
How do we show the level of appreciation to our team that earns us the Investors in People Gold accreditation, then?
To invest in our team, we firstly invest in the wider company culture that makes Coinadrink Limited a great business to work for. By breaking it down to its core, we deliver what really matters to our staff.
This does include exclusive perks and benefits of course, but it mostly comes down to treating every employee with respect as an appreciated member of the team, instead of just another person on the payroll.
We are respectful of the boundaries between work and personal lives and create a family-type culture that encourages everyone to approach us with any problems or worries whether they’re work related or not. We listen to any specific requests and prioritise making sure staff are comfortable in their role wherever they are working from.
Paying all staff what we can afford as opposed to what we can get away with has always been appreciated, whilst parties and events away from the office bring our team together and help build relationships.
Finally, we are committed to investing in the talent and potential of all our staff, as is proved by our recent apprenticeship updates. Personal development is an opportunity available to all staff members whether they are just starting their careers or have had decades of experience already. Managers are pro-active in discovering courses that could be of benefit, whilst staff themselves are always encouraged to approach the business with suggestions.
Between all our initiatives, our people are at the heart of our business values.
Qualifying for the Investors in People Gold status.
This is no easy feat and is just reward for the levels we go to for our team members.
Businesses with the Investors in People accreditation are building a stronger and healthier working environment with staff wellbeing at the heart, which coincidentally can also be aided with our range of vending and refreshment services.
Investors in People Gold takes it one step further. A big step. This requires businesses to act on changing trends when it comes to employee wellness and have a flexible plan for future requirements.
Only 17% of accredited businesses have been upgraded to the Gold standard.
What does this mean for our vending machine customers?
By choosing a vending machine operator that prioritises its staff, we are in a better position to deliver on our unique service promises.
We are passionate about building business relationships that are as friendly as you want them to be, and our committed workforce will always go the extra mile for your satisfaction.
