The Haynes Group employs over 300 employees across eight locations in the South East. The Company is committed to providing equal opportunities in employment. This means that all job applicants and employees will receive equal treatment regardless of age, sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sexual orientation or disability. The Company does not tolerate any type of discrimination in relation to the above in the work place.

Additionally, the Company utilises the comprehensive training programmes of the Manufacturers it represents, and where additional skills are required will use external agencies.
The Company believes strongly in promotion from within wherever possible to facilitate career progression. Generally, it will only look outside the Company for potential employees if it is felt there is no suitable candidate internally for a position or that the Company would benefit from the additional skills that an external person may bring into the Company based on previous industry experience. That said, the Company keeps files on potential candidates who have applied for a position and these are regularly referred to if an appropriate vacancy becomes available.
All new employees are internally assessed at 22 and 44 weeks and guidance given accordingly. Additionally, all employees regardless of length of service have personal development assessments which provide a positive forum between staff and management regarding career progression.
As a family run business the Company has always recognised the fundamental importance of ensuring that as far as possible its employees are content at their place of work and are working in a safe environment. The Company’s full Health & Safety Policies are provided to new employees when starting with the Company. The Directors and management are also on hand to discuss any issue, at any time, with a member of staff that is of concern, both inside or outside of work, that may affect their performance.
The Company places a high priority on loyalty and has a Club for all members of staff who have achieved 25 years of service with Haynes. This meets annually to welcome new members and currently has over 70 members.
Additionally the Company has a Social Club, which organises trips to places of interest such as London shows, museums, etc. It also holds events such as quiz nights, go karting and sporting activities and in association with the Company, the Annual Christmas Dinner. All new members of staff are invited to join this on starting with the Company for a nominal weekly subscription.
