OUR PEOPLE OUR MISSION OUR VALUES

Our mission is to consistently supply innovative solutions to help organisations and individuals nationwide achieve outcomes that fulfil their maximum potential. A business should never stand still, and it is those who adapt and develop with the change of the times who thrive; as such we believe that learning and development removes barriers and opens doors to opportunity for everyone. Our people are vital in achieving our vision and long-term goals and we recognise them as our single most valuable asset. We strive to create an environment that challenges and rewards our employees, whilst embedding our four key values: professionalism, ingenuity, mutual respect, and empowerment.

THE LEVYAs of Spring 2017, the way the government funded apprenticeships in England changed, and Encompass had to change with it. Some employers are now required to contribute to a new Apprenticeship Levy, and there will be changes to the funding for apprenticeship training for all employers. The Apprenticeship Levy requires all employers with a payroll of over £3m to contribute 0.5% of overall payroll costs into an Apprenticeship Digital Account. This is facilitated by HMRC and taken at source from employers PAYE Submissions on a monthly basis.

From the Government’s point of view, the Apprenticeship Levy is seen as an instrument of significant social and economic change, helping to provide the next generation of skilled workers within the UK, accelerating social mobility and, specifically, creating at least three million individual apprenticeships by 2020.

It is important to note that apprenticeships have no age restriction and are available to those already employed within a role. Traditionally apprenticeships are viewed as something for school leavers aged between 16-18, the Levy has essentially enabled employers to upskill existing employees. Furthermore the reforms have allowed the introduction of new Apprenticeship Standards which now include Degree Level Apprenticeships where employees receive an Undergraduate or Master’s Degree as part of their apprenticeship from an approved Higher Education Institution. The Apprenticeship Levy has changed the way funding works, but provides a bright opportunity for Encompass to further improve its already strong growth prospects.
