Two companies share top Employee Engagement Award

Two companies have received the prestigious Company of the Year award in a first for the Employee Engagement Awards.

Homeserve and Southampton Football Club shared the blue ribbon award, which was presented at the gala ceremony at Wembley Stadium last night.

Founder and CEO Matt Manners, said:  “Congratulations to all our winners. This year the entries really have proven the transformational value that focusing on the employee experience can deliver. Not only do engaged employees help develop a clear competitive advantage but will also help their organisations to navigate a world facing continuous change.”

Tom Debenham, MD of People Insight, said: “The quality of entries has again been astounding, showing a shift towards employee engagement as business as usual. Organisations have developed strong internal capability. Instead of looking for single magic bullets, they are taking fully integrated approaches that start before recruitment and extend through the employee journey. When you see the employee experience being led from the C-suite as we increasingly do, you know it’s serious stuff.”
