Self-managed team structure

RIVAL’s approach to staff engenders a sense of wellbeing and an unusually high degree of commitment.

We believe in the individual, and we believe in good leadership.

We have implemented a self-managed team structure in order to enhance the working lives of our staff, and to ensure – through a higher level of individual responsibility – that that we deliver what has been agreed, on time, and in accordance with our customers' wishes. It is highly motivating for employees to be a part of a smaller unit where decisions are made on the spot by equal, independent individuals.

The self-managed teams are responsible for:

Planning
Choice of machining method
Quality control
Delivery time
Training
Machine maintenance
Safety

The feedback we have received indicates that employees feel they benefit from:
More responsibility
A more enjoyable job
Greater challenges
A greater sense of perspective

The benefits, as far as the company is concerned, include:
Better quality work performed
Greater efficiency
Less dependence on key personnel
The structure to employ and integrate additional members of staff
