Where People Matter: Building an Elite Team and Future Leaders
Axil – where people matter
Last month The Sunday Times named us one of the top places to work, with 90% of our team praising our commitment to hiring the best and building an elite team. The team at Axil is ambitious and driven to succeed.
We believe in creating an environment where those who put in the effort and are open to development can thrive. Our team takes great pride in working at Axil. We ensure that everyone plays their part and performs at 100%. Those who aren’t the right fit are supported to improve or find opportunities elsewhere.
Developing Future Leaders
2023, Axil invested 3,518 hours in employee training, including CIWM-approved Continuing Professional Development courses. We focus on building skills and ensuring everyone has opportunities to grow. Our social value tracker highlights our positive impact on the economy, society, and the environment.
Recognising the skills shortage due to an aging population and a lack of interest from young people, Axil actively inspires the next wave of talent. Despite misconceptions about the waste management sector being male-dominated, Axil is a diverse team. We invest in young people, older workers with varied life experiences, ex-services personnel, and offer a work environment that promotes continuous development, career advancement, and provides a rewarding environment for everyone.
At Axil, we encourage every employee to take ownership of their work. Our culture is innovative and encourages employees to challenge norms, creating an environment where each day brings new opportunities. Everyone plays a part in our success. With 66% of our team working on site, their voices are essential in improving conditions and processes. Keeping everyone informed and valuing their insights on enhancing working conditions, equipment, and processes is crucial to our success. Our clear goals and communication contribute to an impressive 99% retention rate.”
