What Our Staff Say ...

Organisations can write whatever they like in their promotional literature to paint a positive picture. At Ability, we prefer to use the words and phrases of the people who are most important to us - our service users, staff and partners - so that you can make your own judgement about us.

Below is a selection of verbatim staff statements made during the year in a range of different situations:

Involved

"They genuinely want our ideas and listen to them."

"We regularly brainstorm how we might improve things and have changed things as a result."

"As a smaller company, it means that staff can feel more in touch with all aspects of the organisation and be more involved with developments within the organisation."

"Having a positive attitude and togetherness when working always makes me want to go the extra mile."

Achieving

"The sky is the limit in terms of achievement."

"Staff are always encouraged to realise their potential therefore portraying the company image in a stronger light and helping us to stay number one in our field."

Responsible

"Because I really feel I am responsible for my job, it is more interesting."

"We actively encourage personal responsibility, accountability and use of initiative which doesn’t necessarily happen in other organisations where you are expected to do as you are told."

Supported

"All managers are very informal and approachable, which is really useful."

"The Service Managers are always available for advice and guidance, so we can act with more confidence."

"The Awaydays and the notes in the weekly newsletters are really helping me to understand how my job fits in."

"My induction was the best I have ever experienced in all the organisations I have worked in over many years."

Enjoyable

"Ability employs really nice people."

"To have fun at work is important and part and parcel of work activities."

"I enjoy working for Ability and I’m very proud of what we do."
