I recently visited the Barclays call centre in Wavertree Technology Park, and met some of the 1,000 staff employed at the centre, as well as the site’s Unite officials.
It is one of two ‘super-sites’ operated by Barclays in the UK, and has specialist teams that work on savings & investments and lending.
I saw the small-team based approach to work that aims to create a friendler working environment.
During my visit I found out about some of the great contributions to charity the staff make every year. This includes painting rooms in hospitals, helping out with Christmas parties at old people’s homes and supporting the Money-Skills programme. most recently the Barclays got talent event raised over £14,000.
I really enjoyed my visit, and I’d like to thank everyone at the centre for being so friendly and making me feel welcome.
