“This win wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and passion of our entire team, who work together to make BARBRI a truly inspiring workplace!”
These awards stand out for their unique judging criteria. Rather than relying on surveys, entrants must demonstrate their commitment to people through a detailed entry, showcasing their approach to six key elements: culture and purpose, leadership, wellbeing, inclusion, employee voice, and employee experience. This focus on tangible actions ensures recognition goes to organisations truly making a difference in their employees’ lives.
Matt Manners, Founder, The Inspiring Workplaces Group, commented: “Congratulations to the Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces across UK & Ireland! As the world seems to be facing more widespread and serious challenges, it is more vital than ever for organisations (big and small) to put their people first. Fostering environments and cultures their people both believe in and want to belong to.
“Focusing on the personal development and caring for the people you employ will not only drive performance but protect the wellbeing of those individuals. Doing so companywide will lead to higher performing teams and enable your organisation to outstrip the competition. Being PeopleFirst isn’t a nice to have, it’s a business imperative!”
