The management of Highway Data Systems Limited recognises that the quality of the company and its ongoing business, however measured, are directly related to the ability and performance of its employees.

It further recognises that, if the company is to achieve its further success, we need to translate our business strategy into the skill and experience requirements of future executives, so that our organisation is responsive to the demands and challenges of that time.

As market and customer needs change, we acknowledge our responsibility to help our employees to meet these challenges by providing further education and training. We encourage training, development and the professional standing of all employees to help them to achieve their full potential by means of: national vocational training, the achievement of professional qualifications and via a diverse range of in-house training programmes.

• Provide adequate training on health and safety for all employees

• Ensure that employees are aware of the availability of in-house training courses
