Je travaille chez HomeServe UK à plein temps (Pendant plus de 3 ans)
Avantages
Great career progression if you're willing to put time and effort in.
Great salary, particularly for a call centre.
Opportunities to help Customers, even those that aren't necessarily covered.
Excellent benefits, including a monthly 'bonus' for front line staff.
Set career progression and wages.
Feel like we're kept pretty in the loop about things within the company.
On site canteen.
Free on site parking.
Lots of charity work.
Dominos pizza days :)
Inconvénients
A little bit of uncertainty amongst staff recently following some redundancies.
Unfortunately there's plenty of staff who don't share the company's values when it comes to speaking with our Customers. If People followed processes and kept Customers up to date as they promised, the complaints would be reduced significantly. It's frustrating for the ones who always do their best.
Dominos pizza days when you're trying to diet :)
Conseils à la direction
I feel that you're going to struggle when you next want to recruit for coaches and team managers. The recent redundancies have scared people and many have said they will not progress further for fear of this happening again.

Communication can be hit and miss

Conseils à la direction
Literally one of the best companies i've worked for and also the one i've worked for longest. All my aspirations to date have been met and i truly enjoy coming to work no matter which site i have to visit. I love the fact that people like Greg Reed, Richard Shepherd, and the rest of the exec team are down to earth and approachable. My only two critques are 1) communication. You do send out lots of information but quite often things that others consider very important are left out. Things like changes to teams and so on. 2) You are great at listening but sometimes an individual feels a struggle to be heard. If there is an issue and someone approaches another about it, that individual needs to be assured that their issue has been heard and if action can be taken, it is being. If it can't, an explaination as to why should be proffered. This doesn't happen every time. However, i reiterate, best company i've worked for and despite one or two niggles, as a team we are far better at handling issues than other places i've worked.

Avantages
The Culture is amazing, very open forward looking, people genuinely care about our customers and our colleagues. There is plenty of opportunity for career growth and to get involved in what interests you
Inconvénients
We can be at the mercy of the weather but I've never been prouder of working here than when the really extreme weather hit us and everyone leaps into action to help our customers - the beast from the east response was inspiring
Conseils à la direction
We need to get better at communicating what may / will happen, I think that stating what we want to achieve, even if we dont reach what we wanted, drives home that we consistently try to do better and if we do fail then we keep going anyway

Avantages
After working for HomeServe a number of years, I have never been happier. If we have any challenges, we approach them together as a team. I have the freedom to do what's right for our Customers without question. We are aware of our goals and aspirations and the company we want to be, knowing what needs to be done to achieve our goals.
It's a company that truly cares about it's People and Customers and I'm very proud to be here.
Inconvénients
Technology and systems can sometimes let us down but I know there are big things in the future which will help massively.

Avantages
Great place to work. Your on a salary but with a bonus incentive that is easily achievable that makes your wage very good. I find the support that I receive to be the best I've ever come across even though I work alone it doesn't seem that way. Homeserve are very customer focused and that's how it should be. Looking forward to working for homeserve until I either retire or die.
Inconvénients
Not found anything wrong yet I know some people may but I can only go by my experience.

J'ai travaillé chez HomeServe UK en Contrat Permanent (Pendant plus de 3 ans)
Avantages
HomeServe has a great caring culture amongst the people on the ground and within back office teams. The product idea is fundamentally a good one, though consumers are changing what they want and what they value.
Inconvénients
The business thrived with a certain way of doing things for a while. Change is required, but its not being done well at all - and hasn't for some time. Programmes are all running late, poor planning, too little thinking things through, inadequate resources and random redundancies/ cuts. Service remains mixed, despite much huff and puff.
Conseils à la direction
Much of the top team inherited a business that needed some real basics fixing - which it did to a large extent. It was fine for a time because the market didn't change as quickly as many others are doing - and it could focus on a good culture and rely on turning handles on tried and tested processes - even if clunky. But, now the market is changing, it is showing little sign of having the skills or experience to deliver transformation. While fundamentally decent people, some of the top table are there because they are a group of loyal, old-fashioned JFDI 'can-doers', but it needs strong relevant experience, which I don't see. Its got rid of lot of hugely valuable experience as well, suggesting its not entirely got a plan.

Avantages
It is hard to find something good to say. They used to have a good atmosphere, and did care about their staff, but that has all gone now.
Inconvénients
I worked there for almost 10 years, and as other people have said, it is very disheartening that new starters earn basically the same wage. I was on about £18,500 when I left as an Expert Claims advisor, but new starters walk in om about £17,500 plus. Experience counts for nothing.
After reading the first few pages of the reviews it is clear to see, everyone gives Homeserve a glowing report, except the Preston employees. Surely that must tell you something.
The staffing at Preston is like a conveyor belt. They used to have a good bunch of long serving staff, but then they insisted on a new shift change, and a lot of long serving staff walked out the door. For the last 18 months they have been doing a recruitment drive at Preston, they come in one door and go out the other. Surely this level of staff turnover should also tell them something. People do not want to work 6 weekends out of 12, and all the bank holidays. And working anytime from 7am to 10pm. Amytime I used to complain about this, I was told we was compensated in our wage and we were paid higher than average. I now earn just slightly less than I did at Homeserve, but only work Monday to Friday 8 till 4.30.
Conseils à la direction
Both Martin and Greg are great people, but unfortunately Preston suffers, and are always the ones under pressure. Staff motivation in Preston is very low, and yes I do still have friends that work there and I speak to on a daily basis. Management is Preston is getting worse, and all of the good ones that they did have got made redundant. You need to stop putting pressure on the staff and their AHT, you cannot have the best of both worlds, with the customer advisors having to rush calls to meet their AHT and putting the customer first.

A business that truly believes in grass roots, a great leadership team who take their guys from the front line and develop them into leaders, I can honestly say I owe Homeserve a lot, whilst not every one can be pleased at all times, HomeServe certainly deliver to the majority, my personal experience has always been a positive one, an open door policy in which you can openly talk about your feelings to anyone at any level, a supportive network of people who are always looking out for you should you make a mistake, a business which believe in coaching its people and developing them into the best they can be, Homeserve has a genuine belief in looking after its people.
Inconvénients
It can be hard work and long hours at times, but everything that is good in life tends to be,,
Conseils à la direction
Keep looking after the people, they deliver to the customers, they must always come first, no matter what adversity you face, more of the same
