Global Action Plan wins Best Companies accredition: February 2009

Global Action Plan has obtained 2 Star Status accreditation with Best Companies Ltd, who also run the annual ‘Sunday Times Best Companies To Work For' List.

This is a great achievement for the us, given it is the first year of our participation, and the results are direct from the mouths of employees.

Best Companies has established its reputation through an authoritative and highly rigorous methodology.

This 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.

Leadership

How employees feel about the head of the organisation, senior managers, and the company's values and principles.

My manager

How employees feel about and communicate with their direct manager.

Personal growth

What employees feel about training and their future prospects.

Wellbeing

How employees feel about stress, pressure at work, and work life balance.

My team

Employees feelings towards their immediate colleagues and how well they work together.

Giving something back

The extent to which employees feel their organisation has a positive impact on society.

My company

The level of engagement employees have for their job and organisation.

Fair deal

How happy employees are with their pay and benefits                        

This supports our ongoing commitment to Investors in People and our team at Global Action Plan.
