Sunday Times Best Companies 2010
The Sunday Times is the premier measure
of great places to work. It has run for a decade – just as we have
done.
Confidential staff surveys from 1086 companies across the UK are
used to create the listing. This year, our factor scores are up across
the board, resulting a leap of 46 places up the league table to sixth place. It netted us the trophy for Best Improver, sponsored by Best Companies
Partnership. The biggest improvement has been in the Fair Deal category,
where a 67% positive score is up by 10% on the previous year.
The single
highest score records that employees are proud to work for New Charter.
Best
Companies 2010
Best Companies rated New Charter a three star “extraordinary” organisation
in 2010. We are one of just 50 companies in Britain holding this accreditation
and one of only two housing organisations. Best Companies uses a ‘Michelin
style’ star rating for organisations that demonstrate high levels
of employee engagement. Based on staff feedback, organisations receive
a Best Companies index score which determines their star rating compared
to a fixed standard.
Best Companies’ methodology identifies workplace
performance and best practice according to eight key factors. These factors
are particularly significant as they are defined through the results
from the survey process, and therefore by employees themselves, as critical
factors in workplace engagement.
