Induction can be full of surprises - but it's not often our team are the ones surprised! 💕
Our latest cohort of new staff going through induction training presented our training team with a lovely card, which read:
"To all the training staff at AEM. Thank you for the last two weeks in making the training feel very welcoming. Looking forward to joining such a committed team throughout the company."
Our Training Team was incredibly moved by the gesture, and we wish all our latest inductees the best of luck at Poplars, Carlton Road, Hamilton, Old Fire Station and SHS Nottingham.
Good luck to all in your new roles! 💖
