What a lovely place Xerox is to work Kim Moloney, a client services executive, can?t say enough nice things about her employer. ?It?s a very special environment,? she says. ?People describe Xerox as a family and I was amazed at the number of people who have worked here for so long.? It?s tempting to take Moloney?s comments with a pinch of salt, especially considering that when you?ve been working somewhere for only two years, as she has at Xerox, everyone seems old and established. But there?s truth behind her enthusiasm. Take Carole Palmer, the group resources director. She joined Xerox in 1978 as a temp and has been in her present role for seven years. ?Xerox has been good to me over the years,? she says. ?It has supported me through qualifications … and last year I took part in the vice-president incumbent program.? Human resources is taken seriously at Xerox, Palmer says, and the company has a policy of promoting from within (which would explain Moloney?s amazement at her colleagues? longevity). The company takes on only fifteen to twenty graduates each year and Moloney was part of an intake who joined having already acquired a couple of years? work experience. She started as a project manager for Xerox Global Services before moving into sales. Now her responsibility is to ?grow and maintain customer relationships?.
Moloney is based at the head office in Uxbridge. ?It?s great in terms of working environment,? she says. ?We?ve just got a new provider in the canteen and … we have brainstorming rooms and breakout areas.? Much of Moloney?s role is visiting clients, so she doesn?t have a permanent desk at head office. ?I?m a hot-desker, which is good because you get to sit with different people in the hot-desk areas. And you?re given a place to store your things.? Head office staff numbers between 1,200 and 1,500 people, Palmer says. The company has four other main offices in the UK. The nature of the organization, which encompasses sales and marketing, global services (the biggest division), developing markets,
