Key Benefits of our unique model include:

Single Contract for Integrated Service

We believe in a single contract that fulfils our client's requirements and ensures legal compliance. This single contract, that outlines all core services and scope of works, is straightforward for clients to manage and reduces legal costs and exposure to liabilities.

Single Monthly Invoice 1/12th Annual Value

Our invoices are detailed and outline costs associated with RCIS codes and any schedules that may apply to the property and are dispatched calendar monthly. The invoice is fixed and based on a one twelfth of the agreed annualized budget to perform the integrated service on site.

Co-Investment Programme

Compass Projects’s Commercial Integration strategy identifies new revenue streams and additional cost savings - which are then apportioned to service model and profitability providing for new equipment, welfare initiatives and new staff, etc. This Co-Investment programme is demonstrable in our UK centres where we have re-engineered staff structures, introduced new resources to site and improved base wage packages, all from within our model.

High Quality Service Regime

Improved Welfare and Resources for Staff Team

Staff morale and motivation is key to a successful integrated service model on a client site and Compass Projects’s extremely profitable ‘One Team – One Focus – One Employer’ culture ensures all areas of service are constantly re-assessed to maximize performance and delivery.om within our model.

Staffing & Payroll

Compass Projects operates fully integrated payroll systems managed by our Head Office in Hampshire.

Cleaning Equipment

Compass Projects has unsurpassed experience in the purchasing of equipment for its commercial sites - in the last year we have purchased equipment from the ground up for three new shopping schemes - and are able to ensure that all the equipment deployed incorporates the latest technologies.

Compass Projects has an ambitious vision for its business to consider and take into account the economic, social and environmental impacts of our activities, wherever we operate in the UK. We see Corporate Social Responsibility as the business sector’s contribution towards greener, sustainable development goals.

Business must take responsibility for how it does business.

Specifically, Compass Projects views Corporate Social Responsibility as the voluntary actions that we as a company can take, over and above compliance with the minimum legal requirements, to address both our own competitive interests and the interests of the wider society in which we live and operate.

Maximize the upside, minimize the downside and turn vision into reality.

An Enabling Environment

Compass Projects fosters an enabling environment for responsible business practice to maximize the positive contribution that we are able to make to our objectives on sustainable service industry management - including staff welfare, supply chain management, environmental waste management and recycling.

Compass Projects and its subsidiary companies recognize that its employees are its most valuable resource, and that the health and welfare of all its employees is of primary concern and essential to achieving the Board’s mission. Compass Projects knows that investment in the health and welfare of staff is an investment in the efficiency and effectiveness of the whole organization and is, therefore, committed to producing a caring and supportive working environment conducive to enabling all employees to develop to their full potential.

Compass Projects embraces its responsibility to staff by ensuring that in all its overall strategic objectives the protection, promotion and support for the health and wellbeing of staff is fully recognized, factored and incorporated. To that end, following its review of management process, the company created the post of SHEQ Manager to introduce and administer a new and comprehensive staff welfare policy.

The policy encompasses the Strategic Aims of our business, our Corporate Social Responsibility charter, our Resource Strategy – absence management, staff retention mechanisms, family friendly policies and the development of the Board as an employer of choice - and Employee Relations Strategy – procedures to encourage performance, involvement and to manage conduct.

Supply Chain Management

Flexibility of response demands for cost reduction and sustainability and the increasing complexity of product design and production have all led to an increased demand for the critical business process of Supply Chain Management to be fine-tuned. How effective we are at managing this offers significant opportunities to not only reduce cost, but to add value to our customer - key factors in the development of competitive advantage. Supply Chain Management encompasses everything from initial design, through to procurement of material, processing and delivery to our customers. Customer satisfaction is dependent on having the right product, at the right place, at the right time, at the right price - and this cannot be done without an understanding of supply chain management in its entirety.

Compass Projects entirely understands its supply chain and supports this by developing and communicating its code of conduct and implementing its corporate policy through the monitoring of its suppliers, encouraging both ethical and sustainable progress.

The success of any organisation and that of its employees depends very largely on the employees themselves, and so we look to you to play your part as we shall continue to play ours.

We welcome you and express our sincere hope that you will be happy here in our excellent team. We ask that you study carefully the contents of this employee handbook as, in addition to setting out our rules and regulations, it also contains a great deal of helpful information.
