Prisons & Probationary Services

Benefit from P2P's Wealth of Experience

Although a rewarding profession, the prison service continually faces workforce recruitment and retention challenges. High staff turnover rates are resource intensive, expensive and impact the remaining workforce.

Employees recognise that a successful career relies on continuing learning and growth, yet companies often fail to provide their employees with the proper tools or opportunities for development.

P2P has worked with prison services to assess their attraction and retention strategies and develop and implement improvement programmes. P2P can support your organisation in creating recruitment strategies and identifying career pathways – tailored to your objectives and unique needs. A successful end-to-end employee journey is achievable and necessary, starting with attraction, induction, development, progression and retention, and executive coaching and development.

Proven Results

Training and personal and professional development opportunities are crucial to keeping staff engaged, well-equipped, satisfied, and capable of adding continued value to the organisation.

Core Offerings

  • P2P can design and implement bespoke programmes and can scale them as required.
  • P2P consultation services – our team can work with you to deliver your pre-defined projects or review and assess current practices to develop improvement projects for your organisation and assist you in implementing any change.
    P2P deliver all levels of team and individual development training programmes, including first-line manager training, middle managers training, or Executive development programmes.

Benefits

Retention rates rise by 30-50% for companies with strong learning cultures

When an employee knows they have the chance to expand in their day-to-day role, this gives impetus and momentum for ongoing engagement, as the more they develop, the more they will want to use their newly acquired skills.”

Additional Services

Psychometric Testing and Managing and Leading Change Profiling

To be different and stand out from the crowd, P2P can provide an offering to you and your staff, whereby they can access psychometric tests.

Such an approach will give your service a distinct advantage in relation to your People Strategy narrative for His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP).
