Time-codes / Dialogue10:00:00:00 / TITLE SEQUENCE
10:00:21:09 / Doug Bridgman
I’ve been in this company for over 25 years and I remember how it was in the early days. It was a really good company to work for and you all felt part of it, and it was a team.
10:00:33:00 / Mike Baish
When the company was bigger, we always used to have a social club but for various reasons people weren’t really interested and it closed down.
10:00:41:11 / Matthew Johnson
A year ago we were bought by a Dubai company; they’ve left us to pretty much run ourselves. They’ve set us ambitious targets to meet; we’ve got less people than we had before, so that puts a lot of pressure on the employees we’ve got now, to meet those targets.
10:00:54:24 / Doug Bridgman
We are really trying to change the culture of the company and we’re looking to try and involve everybody in what we’re doing.
10:01:04:09 / John Parker
I don’t know how it’s gonna affect me. Yeah, I’m retiring in 2011, there’s not a lot of time left so whatever happens, happens to me.
10:01:22:16 / Matthew Johnson
We’ve got approximately a fifth of the workforce coming up to retirement in the next couple of years. They do need to understand that they have a lot of skills and a lot of knowledge to pass on to people. We can’t lose that, we can’t start again.
10:01:35:14 / Pat Hicks
Even in a small company, managers don’t have all the answers, it’s the employees on the shop floor, they’re doing the job, they know what works well, they know what doesn’t work so well, so they’re the people who can come up with good solutions.
10:01:51:01 / Doug Bridgman
Things that we’re looking to try and do is to really get people involved in some of the decision making in the business. We want them to be more integrated into everything that we’re doing.
10:01:59:22 / Lorraine Richards
We all know that if we don’t pull together then, you know, we know the consequences. So we really do have to pull together and help each other out and do the best we can for the company.
10:02:14:07 / Pat Hicks
We’ve done a focus group of a cross section of staff, all different occupations, levels within the organisation.
10:02:21:02 / Mike Baish
We have a lot of banter; we don’t pull each other down. We’ve got faults, everyone has faults, but we like to think that we can talk about it in a sort of jovial manner and get the job done.
10:02:34:05 / John Parker
You never stop learning, you know, if you’re 90 or 100, you still learn things every day.
10:02:40:24 / Doug Bridgman
I’m quite excited about it, because I know that not only will the company benefit but everybody else will be much happier in what they’re doing and if you come to work happier, then you’re bound to be more productive for yourself and for the company.
10:03:02:10 / NARRATOR
at liquid control, the action learning sets where the gatekeepers met with other businesses to share learning proved invaluable. the company carried out a skills matrix which led to a new process for audit and an employee survey, which helped them develop training and knowledge sharing strategies. the team has developed a positive action plan for the future.
