ASL Charity Policy**

ASL recognises that the Company and its employees have a significant role to play in the communities within which we work and live. Employees can contribute by volunteering, offering their skills and time to organisations that will benefit. To support this, ASL provides employees with two days paid time off from their normal day-to-day roles, to take part in voluntary activities as part of an Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) scheme. In addition to the benefit to the community, volunteering is a valuable opportunity for staff to apply and develop their skills and broaden their perspectives. 

ASL Employer Supported Volunteering scheme**

There are several ways an employee can volunteer within our ESV program:

**Team Challenges**: One off practical tasks completed by a group of employees typically involve, but are not limited to, decorating, painting, or gardening.

**Individual volunteering**: Employees are able to give regular time, perhaps for one or two hours per month. Activities could include e.g. mentoring, sports administration or helping at a youth club, or befriending an older person.

**Skills-based volunteering**: A wide range of skills is required by voluntary and community organisations to help maintain and develop more effective services. Skills-based volunteering could include financial or legal services, business planning, marketing, IT support etc

**Fundraising**: Help to raise funds for voluntary organisations.

**In-Kind support**: Providing a free service to a voluntary organisation including use of facilities for meetings, limited agreed use of printers or photocopiers.

Health & Wellbeing **

The wellbeing of our staff is a important to us. In order to support this commitment, we have established a comprehensive wellbeing policy. This policy clearly defines the responsibilities of the company, management, and employees in fostering a healthy and supportive workplace environment. 

We offer two dedicated Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), providing our team members with access to valuable resources, including bereavement and probate support counselling. Additionally, our workforce is supported by trained Mental Health First Aiders across various roles, ensuring that help is always available when needed. 

Apprenticeships **

At ASL our apprentices are an integral part of the business. We employed our first apprentice in 2012 and continue to offer various opportunities. The apprenticeship courses we offer vary depending on the needs of the individual and the business, there’s a whole range of choices. We enjoy having the young perspective within the business as it supports individual and business progression, though we also offer apprenticeships to existing staff as part of their development plan and to gain a recognised qualification. 

Extensive induction training provided to all new starters for cyber security, GDPR, manual handling and equality, diversity and inclusion.
