Cognolink Recognised as One of the UK's Best Workplaces
Trust and engagement in the workplace is the leading factor for great employers, businesses and brands
LONDON, May 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cognolink, a primary research partner that connects investors and businesses to critical intelligence, was named by Great Place to Work® as one of the UK's Best Workplaces in the Medium category (organisations with 50-499 employees) at a gala dinner held on 13 May.
Ranked 24th, this is the second year that Cognolink has received this honour, which recognises the company for having a high trust, high engagement workplace culture, which attracts and retains talent, and helps drive the company's business success.
The methodology behind the Great Place to Work® list is one of the most rigorous available and uniquely comprises both an employee survey and an audit into an organisation's management and HR practices. To be successful, participating organisations must achieve a high minimum score in their employee survey, which measures the levels of trust and engagement within an organisation. The award also recognises the strength of leadership and the range of innovative, creative and effective HR policies in place which creates a unique workplace culture.
"We're excited to once again be listed as one of the UK's Best Workplaces; it's truly a tremendous accomplishment and testament to our team and culture," said Emmanuel Tahar, CEO of Cognolink. "We will continue to invest in our exceptional culture, hiring the right people and creating a working environment that attracts and retains the best possible talent in our industry."
Some of the benefits Cognolink offers to its employees include:
- A culture that encourages active participation and engagement;
- A structured learning and development programme;
- A meritocratic environment that rewards strong performers; and
- The opportunity to participate in numerous sporting, social and charitable activities.
"The work of these organisations is impressive," said Tom O'Byrne, CEO of Great Place to Work®. "They provide an example that others can look to, to see what kind of outstanding workplace is possible and how to get from Good to Great, regardless of size, industry or other circumstances. For example, the growth that many of these organisations are experiencing is tremendous, and they are paying close attention to their culture every step of the way. This focus on a strong cultural foundation provides a strong competitive advantage and helps pave the way for continued success as they serve their employees and their customers."
Organisations named on the Best Workplace list see many benefits that include better financial performance, lower employee turnover, higher levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, more innovative and creative thinking, higher productivity and enhanced public perception.
