The REC’s first members’ week has been labelled a critical part of the trade body’s plans for the future. Groups comprised of all 75 REC staff visited more than a dozen different recruitment companies around London and the South East during the first week of November. In previous years, the REC had initiated a “members’ day”, where all REC staff downed tools to call corporate members across the country. But a week dedicated to meeting members in person was considered more valuable. REC chief executive Kevin Green called members’ week a valuable and necessary exercise. “At the heart of the REC vision is putting our members first, so getting all of our 75 staff out to meet our members at their place of work was

FIRST MEMBERS’ WEEK “CRITICAL” critically important,” he says. “We are always seeking to listen to and understand our members wants and needs and this development builds on our successful members’ days which we have run twice a year for the last four years. The learning and feedback will help us improve all we currently do plus help us build new products and services for

REC and IRP members.” Alison Nightingale, business development manager at REC member Three R’s says: “The opportunity to take part in Members’ Week provided us with a face-to-face meeting with two of the REC team, helping to bridge the gap between professional body and agency. We were able to discuss upcoming legislation,

recruitment trends and good practice. “Compliance is incredibly important to our agency and the schools we work with. We are proud to be REC members and respect the credibility this partnership provides us with.” REC members can find out more about the success of members’ week by visiting www.rec.uk.com
