Renovo Employment Group is to launch a revolutionary new 24-hour telephone and online career development product, designed specifically to support the new Work Programme, at this years’ UK Welfare to Work Convention.
Renovo’s Career Advancement Programme (CAP) is a powerful new service that allows prime and subcontractor providers to deliver a much more cost effective, distance based in work support package to thousands of people returning to work. The CAP incorporates measures to alleviate new time and financial pressures imposed by the Work Programme whilst ensuring that providers still achieve their objectives in maximising outcomes and delivering sustainable employment.
David Twiddle, Chief Executive at Renovo comments, -The new Work Programme outlines that providers are to be paid at a rate set by outcomes rather than input. Realistically this means that payments could be held for up to two years of satisfactory job sustainment which adds new challenges for providers and requires a fresh and innovative approach to delivery. With the entire risk and funds being linked to the ‘sustainment period’ providers are starting to look at how vastly increased caseloads can be managed more effectively.
The CAP means that contractors can effectively outsource the entire process of monitoring candidate progress in their new role, saving time and money, and that is why we have already been appointed to assist the Work Programme in some areas of the UK following the government appointment of ‘prime providers’
Renovo’s CAP includes a dedicated one to one guidance package where each customer has their own Work Coach available by telephone, email and text for the duration of the programme. Each customer is also provided with access to -Workfriend, a new interactive online portal containing factsheets, videos and e-learning across a host of topics relating to support at work, skills and progression.
Workfriend is also available as a phone app, allowing those without ready access to computers to benefit from the resources. A 24/7 helpline provides access to counselling, financial and legal advice as well as acting as a crisis intervention service.
Employer engagement is also not forgotten. Employers can access a dedicated area of Workfriend to access a wealth of information on HR and People Management issues including supporting the health and wellbeing of employees. Renovo’s dedicated Manager Support helpline provides direct access to specialist advice, particularly useful for SME employers.
Twiddle continues, -Renovo’s delivery model can support employability and job search programmes, in work support and learner support. We have also created a dedicated Rural Employment Programme to meet the needs of those customers who find it challenging to attend employment training sessions in person.
Renovo has previously achieved outstanding results through its bespoke programmes working with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and Jobcentre Plus where it has helped over 20,000 jobseekers back on the road to work over the last two years.
A full demonstration can be seen on Stand 44 at the Welfare to Work Convention 2011 held at Manchester Central on the 30th June and 1st July.
Meet us at THE WELFARE TO WORK CONVENTION 2011, STAND 44.
