We are delighted to have been invited to join
the Judging Panel of "Scotland's Best Employer Awards 2014"!
In an increasingly competitive marketplace
companies wanting to recruit the best employees need to promote themselves as
being great places to work. But how do you prove it? Scottish Business Insider
in association with Hudson has launched the Scotland’s Best Employer awards,
which will recognise and reward companies who put employees at the heart of
their business, promoting development and health & wellbeing to strive in
their industry. The number one quoted asset for any firm is their employees.
The right environment and supporting the health and wellbeing of staff is
crucial in making a business thrive. The
prestigious event will be held at The Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh on Thursday
20th November.
The awards are aimed at different types of organisations who
operate in Scotland. The judging panel will be looking at a variety of aspects
which contribute towards making a company an excellent place to work. Key
attention will be paid to: training and development, health and wellbeing,
workplace environment, flexible working opportunities and engagement in company
CRS initiatives.
