Our culture
Clear and frequent communication is the key to our success. Here at Denplan, we ensure that everyone has a clear view of the direction in which the business is going so that they feel part of its ongoing success. This ranges from company briefing sessions, where the whole company gets together, to individual one-to-one reviews.
We welcome feedback to help us improve what we do and have an open door policy that includes all senior managers and the Managing Director. We use many feedback mechanisms, from a formal annual employee survey to an anonymous ‘ask the senior management team’ question and answer intranet page.
We pride ourselves on being open, friendly and hard working. When we exceed our business expectations, everyone enjoys a reward. Examples of such rewards have included the whole company going to Thorpe Park for the day, a barbecue in the grounds of Winchester Cathedral, an extra day of holiday and ad-hoc bonuses.
Denplan is also a very sociable company with an active sports and social team, representing a wide range of employees.
