Wingrave Yeats awarded star status accreditation by Best Companies
Despite a turbulent and challenging year, the 2010 Best Companies to Work For survey shows that staff engagement is still high on the agenda for UK organisations – and that an employee’s relationship with their line managers has become more important in keeping them engaged and motivated than more senior leadership.A record 1,086 organisations from the private and public sectors applied for Best Companies Accreditation this year, showing how high a priority staff engagement is. Of these, 773 made the grade.
Best Companies established the accreditation award scheme to acknowledge excellence in the workplace. Based on staff feedback, it looks at employee engagement as an integral part of a company’s success and growth, and sets a benchmark for other employers. The accreditation scheme follows a Michelin star style system with companies awarded one star for first class, two stars for outstanding and three stars for extraordinary performance.The Best Companies 2010 star status accreditation ceremony will be held at The Art of Engagement, the groundbreaking event being opened by Best Companies later in the Spring. The Art of Engagement will use the latest technology and 10 years of best practice examples to help managers and HR staff experience what good engagement feels like for themselves, and enable them to create bespoke plans to help drive up staff engagement in their organisations.
The Times Best Companies to Work for
This is a very important Award to us as it is voted for by the employees. Just under 1000 companies take part and Wingrave Yeats has consistently been awarded 'One to Watch' with our highest scores in categories such as 'My Team', 'My Manager', and 'Wellbeing'.
Best Medium-Sized Firm
Wingrave Yeats is the only firm to have won this award in two different categories (it previously won in the small firm category in 2000).This award recognises the company’s growth, success and maturity. The judges were looking for a medium-sized firm that added significant value to its clients and described our entry as “very impressive in this regard,” adding that it was “remarkable for its human approach.”
CBI Best Business Adviser
Christopher Jenkins, our Senior Partner, won the Award for “Best Business Adviser of the Year,” sponsored by the Confederation of British Industry. Not only did he beat all comers from the accounting profession but also took the prize over the heads of venture capitalist and PR advisers. “Christopher’s entry for Best Business Adviser was the easiest of all the category awards for the Panel to decide on," commented one of the judges, “and it took us no time at all because the winner so clearly stood out from the rest!”
Best Small Firm
Some years ago Wingrave Yeats won the Accountancy Age’s award for best small firm. “It is good to see that smaller practices can compete with national businesses if IT has been adapted as key strategy for business development” said Gavin May, General Manager of Sage's Professional Accountants Division.
