We want to provide an environment which allows our employees to balance their work and home life. We also offer a range of incentive and reward programmes to recognise the efforts of our staff both in the office and the field.

Totally rewarding
Totally rewarding BMS creates an environment which encourages colleagues to thrive. We are committed to helping them reach their full potential and to rewarding them for their contribution to achieving our business objectives. The BMS Total Reward programme helps us to do this.

Our Total Reward Pyramid, split into three tiers, shows how the rewards stack up: from the core financial benefits, to the more individual benefits that can be tailored to suit each employee's specific needs and circumstances.

We pride ourselves on recognising that there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution to rewards. Whatever a person's priorities in life, they can build up their rewards to make the most of life at BMS.

BMS offers a range of career development initiatives and each individual has their own personal development plan created for them. BMS UK is very proud that approximately 50 percent of all recruitment takes place internally.

People It is the company's goal to develop our talent from within wherever possible and we ensure this happens through regular succession planning and career dialogues with staff. It is not uncommon for people to make lateral moves to gain valuable experience before making a move up the organisation. Secondments, mentoring, development centres, peer to peer coaching and our range of 'aspiring' programmes are examples of tools that BMS employees have access to.

At BMS we take recruitment very seriously and we use a range of innovative assessment techniques to ensure that when we do hire from outside the organisation, we get the right person. We also want to ensure it is the right move for each person that joins BMS and we try to ensure that candidates meet a range of people from across the organisation and experience the true BMS culture.

BMS is distinct from many other employers in its approach to helping employees reach their potential whilst maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. The company knows that balancing work and home life commitments and making the most of life outside work can sometimes be a struggle.

Mother and Son To counter this, we have developed a variety of flexible options, for example, reduced hours, job-sharing, working from home, compressed work weeks, holiday purchase scheme, summer hours scheme and flexitime.

When it comes to time at work, the company champions a range of programmes to recognise, promote and celebrate exceptional performance and innovation. These include our reward and recognition programme to praise those who perform above and beyond their role profile, and long-service awards to commend long-term commitment and performance.

As employees' contributions and achievements are rewarded and recognised regularly, this creates a culture where people feel motivated, engaged and committed to achieving our mission and pledge.

BMS believes it is vital to offer employees a working environment which is comfortable, convenient and where people can thrive. To ensure that the BMS environment is just that, we aim to offer the following:
  • Clear objectives and role profiles we want people to fully understand what is expected of them and the scope of their role
  • Supportive and encouraging management
  • An environment in which innovation is nurtured and supported
  • The latest technology
  • Pleasant and comfortable surroundings, which are well equipped to make the work experience enjoyable including open plan, airy, light offices, on-site gym, restaurant, and dry cleaning service.
