People Initiative of the Year

摘要

Development of a successful modern apprentice scheme earned Southern Water the top spot in in this category. The judging panel felt the nature of the scheme was something that the water industry and other market sectors would seek to emulate.rnSouthern Water's innovative Developing Our Young People initiative is a training programme that has resulted in staff recruitment increasing fifteen-fold. Staff retention has also risen by 42%. Impressive statistics when the water sector has experienced a major skills shortage.
