Firm nets award for its excellence

Avis Rent A Car UK, which has a base in Bridge End Road in Stratton, has beat household names such as ASDA and Thomas Cook to win the Personnel Today award for Excellence In Training.

The 18-strong Avis personnel and training department showed the judges training had boosted motivation and helped focus staff on company objectives.

This included producing detailed job profiles for all operational roles, introducing a formal process to assess all employees, increased on-the-job training opportunities and a full development plan for every employee.

Avis saw 25 per cent of front line staff promoted to more senior roles and staff turnover dropped.
