The JCPR Flexible Benefits Package is a multi-layered scheme of benefits which enables us to offically reward our staff for all their hard work. Kicking in after 6 months service it operates on a sliding scale, rising every six months. It's quite a simple process: basically every benefit carries a number of points so the longer you stay, the more you accrue! We have a pick 'n mix array of benefits including Private Medical Insurance, a Personal Pension Plan and free gym membership.

The PR industry is tough, demanding one - and although we all love what we do, we all need a bit of a pep up from time to time. Subsidised, on-site massages (with clothes on!) continue to go down a storm here and our regular rota of 3pm finishes together 5pm finishes every Friday are also a welcome bonus with each employee.

Throughout the year, we have all Agency outings. The Agency effectively 'closes' for half-day in shameless pursuit of fun. Activities range from en masse picnics and softball, to ice-skating and cinema trips - and always end with a bevvy or two. To keep everyone in the loop on Agency news there is a monthly all Agency meeting with a bottle of champagne awarded to the person who's delievered the best coverage that month.

Our vision for some time now has been that we should invest in the development of everyone's career at JCPR through a tailored training schedule, reflecting real needs. 
 
The JCPR Training Programme that we have now put in place is for everyone to take advantage of.    It is the first stage of our long-term plan to ensure that all of you are empowered to develop and improve your skills at all levels on an on-going basis.
 
In developing this programme we wanted to make sure that the course content and trainers could offer very practical, relevant and tangible training solutions for all of you, on the back of feedback that we have had from you. To make the training accessible we have ensured that most of the courses are repeated and covered in bite-size chunks so that - in most instances - none of you will have to spend whole days out of the office.
 
The courses fall into three sections and four key areas:
 
Section 1:
Specific training modules - external and internal trainers
Split into the following four categories:

• Personal Development
• Management Training
• Finance & Commercial Awareness
• Writing skills and brainstorming

Section 2:
IT, Health & Safety - speaker sessions

Section 3:
Inductions for new employees
 
 
We really hope that you find the training  insightful, helpful and relevant
