Employee Excellence Awards
Best Place to Work Award
Where employees love coming to work.
About this category
This award recognises an organisation whose employees say it is an outstanding place to work, and can show why. Judges look for what employees themselves say, backed by evidence of fair pay, flexibility, development and care.
Eligibility
Open to organisations of every size and sector in the UK. Entries should include employee feedback.
Judging criteria
- What employees say
- Fairness and flexibility
- Development and progression
- Wellbeing
- Retention
Qualitative criteria
A culture employees would recommend to their friends.
Metrics
- Engagement scores
- Retention
- Absence
- Internal promotions and employee survey results
Additional criteria
Entries should include a short account of the contribution, supporting figures where they exist and, wherever possible, comments from colleagues, managers or customers. An employee can be put forward by anyone who has seen their work, or can enter themselves. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel, and customer or colleague names can be left out. Judges consider the size of the organisation and the nature of the role, so a cleaner, a driver or a care worker competes on equal terms with a head office professional.
