The Sunday Times has published its annual Best Companies to Work For list, which commends UK employers for harbouring exceptional workplace culture and outstanding employee engagement.
The Best Companies to Work For list compiles the top 100 mid-size companies (250-3,000 full and part-time employees), top 100 small firms (50-250 employees) and Britain’s biggest employers (3,000-plus).
The Times.co.uk reports that not-for-profit enterprises of all sizes have their own Top 100 list too.
Jonathan Austin, Founder and CEO of Best Companies Ltd explained: “There is a great sense of pride in being part of the companies that make it onto the lists.
“With the various challenges facing organisations, it is just great to celebrate success. Everyone gets a kick out of being on a winning team.”
Hundreds of firms apply each year to obtain a place on one of the Sunday Times’ four lists: 100 Best Companies to Work For 2019; 25 Best Big Companies to Work For 2019, 100 Best Small Companies to Work For 2019 and 100 Best Not-For-Profit Organisations to Work For 2019.
