As the Work Programme begins to take shape, G4S continued its consultative dialogue with partners by holding their first live ‘online event’. This interactive session gave organisations and individuals across Great Britain a chance to quiz the G4S Welfare to Work team, including Managing Director Sean Williams.
The event was scheduled to take place between 1pm and 2pm but was extended to 3:15pm in an attempt to cope with as many of the 500 questions received as possible from over 350 people. Discussion covered a range of welfare-to-work issues, including the role of subcontractors, funding for the Work Programme, regional delivery and the G4S model. It represented a new and innovative way to communicate across the industry. Participants were able not only to interact with the G4S Welfare to Work team, but to gain a better understanding of the concerns and thoughts from other stakeholders across all regions. G4S received excellent feedback both during and after the event from participants.
If you missed the online event, you can replay the whole discussion by visiting the G4S Welfare to Work website at http://www.g4swelfaretowork.com/events/default.php. G4S will also post a full list of questions and answers on the ‘FAQ’ section of the website.
The G4S Welfare to Work website will be updated shortly with details of G4S’s next live online event.
Hope it was a success. Are there any more planned for the near future? any links?
