Our approach is multifaceted, focusing on creating employment opportunities, investing in skills development, and supporting local communities.; Our initiatives contribute to economic equality, such as our apprenticeship programs that offer valuable training and experience to young people, our partnerships with local educational institutions (Digital Critical Friends - 3 Bridgeall technical team members are mentors for Teachers in schools across Scotland. Their responsibility is around consulting, advising, supporting, and promoting, IT and computing amongst younger groups.), and our commitment to fair and ethical business practices that ensure the prosperity of the communities we serve.; Our procurement policies are designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises where possible, promoting local economic development and sustainability.; We are an accredited Living Wage Employer and support the Living Wage movement, valuing fair wages to attract and retain top talent while boosting staff morale and productivity. We oppose Exploitative Employment Practices like Zero Hours Contracts; Our commitment to fighting economic inequality is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic business decision that enhances our competitiveness and aligns with our values of integrity, respect, and social responsibility.; Bridgeall's commitment to social responsibility also extends to supporting local communities, as evidenced by our monthly food/money donations to the Glasgow Northeast foodbank. We have also supported them by providing IT resources for specific projects to assist them. This initiative is part of our broader efforts to address economic inequality and support those in need. Our contributions to the foodbank help provide essential supplies to families and individuals affected by economic hardship, reinforcing our pledge to foster a more equitable society. Through actions like these, Bridgeall not only demonstrates corporate citizenship but also strengthens community ties and supports sustainable development goals.

We believe that fair compensation is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent, boosting morale, and enhancing productivity. Investing significantly in staff development, we prioritise continuous learning and growth, tailoring training based on annual appraisals, and offering various resources for advancement.; Bridgeall has made significant progress in improving employee retention over the past few years.
