News update - Highlands
& Islands
The Service has recently
agreed a one year contract with AXA-ICAS to provide
a full employee welfare programme to all of our staff
and their families which will commence form September
1st 2008.
Individual letters have been sent to all staff introducing
the scheme and its benefits to them. Included is a ‘Z’
card which summarises the benefits available to them
and gives information for both web site and telephone
access to the various services.
Briefing sessions have
been organised at HQ / the station for the end of August.
These have been scheduled to accommodate A1 shift patterns
to ensure inclusion of all whole time firefighters at
Inverness, and all full time staff will be invited to
attend one of these sessions.
To ensure that the retained
staff are equally aware of the additional benefits to
them, a DVD has been developed which will be given to
all Station Managers and they will play the DVD as part
of their training night. It has been developed to cover
the same areas as those covered in the briefing sessions.
In addition, an article
will appear in this months newsletter, and staff will
also receive materials by e-mail.
For your information I
have included a copy of the services that ICAS will
provide on the services behalf.
