Working Links was one of the first welfare to work providers to
have been accredited with the Merlin Standard. The accreditation
sets out a standard of behaviour designed to encourage excellence
in supply chain management. We were awarded a ‘good’ mark – Level 4
of 5. And it’s extremely important we understand that we can’t work
alone to help our customers.
50% of our services are delivered
through public, private and third sector partners.
This reflects the diverse nature of our business. Providing
exceptional local knowledge and tailored experiences, they share
our values, ethos and best practice, they work with
us to deliver our ambitions of social inclusion and economic
prosperity.
We have a rigorous selection process to
determine the most appropriate organisations to help us support
customers into the desired outcomes. Working with around 500
partners, we’ve created a flexible, dynamic and robust supply chain
that we know is capable of meeting the changing needs of
the labour market and the individual customer.
With a healthy supplier base that
drives towards competition and mutually beneficial commercial
arrangements, we have the flexibility to deal with
risk.
Risk management demands a culture of openness
and transparency, where risks can be identified and managed
appropriately. By ensuring effective communication and performance
monitoring, we’re consistently mitigating risk throughout our
supply chain.
We work closely with more than 150 different
voluntary organisations – we can learn a great deal from
charities and voluntary organisations that work in the heart of our
communities. A further 50 organisations are end to end
providers, delivering the full service model to our customers. Our
specialist partners provide key local, national and regional
specialists delivering targeted resources to people with
complex needs.
As well as providing a seamless service to support
customers, collaborating with key partners is critical for us
because it helps us to drive service excellence – giving industry
leading innovation and exceptional benefits to the individual,
their community and wider society.
