The list, which is published annually, recognises the UK’s most attractive and effective employers: participating organisations are judged on a variety of factors, including workplace engagement initiatives, staff wellbeing and perks, and company culture and values. They survey both employees and management to get a holistic view of the organisation’s HR policies and practices and how these are perceived by employees.
