Background:
“When your employees are truly engaged, they’re happier, more productive and more invested in your organisation’s success.” (www.b.co.uk, 2017).
The Sunday Times lists of the Best Companies to Work For 2017 are derived from the views of employees. They rank companies chiefly by eight key indicators, or “factors”, of staff engagement – which are:
1. Leadership (the heads and senior managers of the company);
2. My Manager (the local management on a day-to-day basis);
3. Personal Growth (opportunities to use skills and advance);
4. Wellbeing (balancing work/life issues);
5. My Team (immediate colleagues);
6. Giving Something Back (giving back to society and to the community);
7. My Company (the company and the way it treats staff); and
8. Fair Deal (pay and benefits).
