Saffery Champness in Guernsey has had its ACCA Approved Employer status successfully renewed and upgraded from silver to platinum.
The ACCA Approved Employer programme recognises high standards in three key areas: Trainee Development, Practising Development and Professional Development for employers’ ACCA members and trainees.
The platinum status provides formal recognition that Saffery Champness is committed to providing learning and development opportunities for its staff and ensures that the firm’s training and development meets a global, best practice benchmark.
Saffery Champness recently hired experienced human resources practitioner Viv Roussel as its learning and development manager, in line with the firm’s business objective to maximise employees’ knowledge, skills and positive attitude.
Ms Roussel said: “To be awarded platinum employer status by ACCA, a global professional body which awards internationally respected accountancy qualifications is a wonderful endorsement of Saffery Champness’ commitment to improving, empowering and developing its people.”
She worked alongside audit manager Lindsey Dean, who is responsible for managing the firm’s ACCA Practical Experience Requirements and mentoring scheme, to evidence that all the necessary criteria had been met.
Saffery Champness employs 125 staff in its Guernsey office and has seen many individuals progress from junior roles to senior management.
Nick Batiste, managing director of Saffery Champness in Guernsey, said: “The skills and abilities of our people is a high priority for us and is in-line with our key objective - recruiting, training and retaining the best employees to grow and adapt the business to changing market conditions.”
