2/21/2003 February 21, 2003 -- Alton Towers today announced record bonuses for full-time staff following the success of the 2002 season. Three-hundred employees received payouts of up to £1,000, which are the highest recorded at the Staffordshire Moorlands theme park. The handouts varied depending on achievements in meeting personal performance targets and on individual base salaries. A spokesman said: "The payments reflect the hard work and commitment shown by staff during the past 12 months, and equally underline Alton Towers' own commitment to its staff by sharing in the company's success." Nick Allen, acting head of human resources for the park, added: "The provision of an annual bonus scheme is just one of many benefits open to all employees. "We are constantly reviewing the ways in which we can make working here more appealing to potential employees - looking at everything from the provision of accommodation and our own mini-bus service, to flexible shifts and job shares. "We can pretty much tailor make working hours to suit an individual, and there's now the added flexibility of working on both the hotel and the park sites." The news comes as bosses launch one of their biggest recruitment drives yet, with plans to create 821 seasonal jobs across the park and hotel operation. Further permanent opportunities in management will also be available under proposals for the new £40 million Calypso Springs water park, hotel and conference complex. The park currently employs 2,500 people, supports 350 businesses and is responsible for £100 million of spending, attracting about 2.3 million visitors each year. Prior to the launch of Calypso Springs, a series of recruitment roadshows will be held, launching on February 24 at the complex's corporate hospitality area. The following week recruiters will be posted at Cheadle job centre. To convert currencies, visit this calculator. |
