AN INTRODUCTION TO MILSOM PEOPLE

Our teams are key to our success and are the reason that our customers come back to us. We understand that the ongoing success of our operation relies heavily on our ability to attract and retain excellent people who have great attitudes and are willing to go that extra mile to get the job done.

From 2018 we will be developing the Milsom People brand, which is dedicated to our teams and will help us to promote and monitor Wellness, Development, Communication and Recognition for individuals and teams as a whole.

The hospitality industry is one of the toughest industries to work in, whether you’re an employee, operator or owner, and we believe that the Milsom People brand and platform will help us to ensure safe working environments and working regimes, clear paths of progression and an open and honest environment for all Milsom People.

THE DNA OF MILSOM PEOPLE

Milsom People are at the heart of everything that we do. Milsom People are honest and open minded, they’re forward thinking and considerate of their colleagues. A Milsom Person understands that it’s a team effort and they’re contributing to a bigger picture and the group-wide operation.

The most important characteristic of a Milsom Person is attitude and we’re always seeking ‘merchants of happiness’ to work within our business. These individuals possess a natural spirit of generosity and demonstrate a consistent positive approach to all that they do almost all of the time.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MILSOM PEOPLE

We have to attract and retain great people in order to achieve great things and we have a responsibility to care for those people and ensure they have the best possible environment to work and operate within. Our responsibility as an employer extends beyond the individual to their families, friends and the community as a whole.

Our business is a relatively large employer within East Anglia and we’re proud of contributing to the region and those towns and villages where our teams work and live. It’s vital that our business continues to innovate and develop and our teams, the Milsom People, are central to this. We aim to operate with genuine care and consideration of all teams at all times.

ABOUT THE MILSOM PEOPLE BRAND

Milsom People is built across four pillars that underpin and support our mission and vision to be a benchmark employer within the hospitality industry. All that we do as a team can be attributed back to one of the four pillars of our employee engagement initiative. 

WELLNESS

Physical and mental wellbeing for everyone in every workplace.

DEVELOPMENT

Relevant training, developing, mentoring and progression.

COMMUNICATION

Two-way communication to better understand the needs of our teams.

RECOGNITION
