Thank-you for leaving your review. Eastleigh is one of our more modern workspaces in the group and boasts excellent employee engagement survey results, a lower than industry average turnover and an average length of service of over 5 years (nearly a quarter have been with us for more than a decade!). As a company we always want to promote a people first agenda, we would love to hear from you again to see what we can do to turn your 3-star review into a 5-star review - you can reach me by email at paul.sissons@aplan.co.uk
