Marl
International
Regardless of always technically being an environmentally focused enterprise , with its production of energy saving lighting , Marl will soon be installing a solar farm across its roofs , as part of a £ 6 million investment program that has been ongoing since 2008 . Besides this , the company was one of the first in the UK to implement the four-day working week .
“ Part of the balance ,” Adrian concludes , “ is providing people with aims and objectives that are stretching , but achievable . We are always encouraging people to take on new challenges and move around the organization , and it really works . It ’ s part of our culture that really attracts people , and once we have them onboard , we have no difficulty in retaining them . It ’ s all about keeping people on the right side of the stress curve , and we ’ ve tried to do that by always keeping a positive energy level , and never drifting towards the negative side .” ■
