Freebridge Makes Sunday Times Best Companies List
The West Norfolk based housing and community organisation, which debuted at number 55 on the list in 2014, has once again made the list for 2015.
Freebridge has also been rated a One Star accreditation meaning the organisation is ‘very good’ at employee engagement’
Through the Best Companies process, Freebridge employees were able to share their thoughts on the organisation through a confidential survey. In addition, Freebridge also completed an extensive questionnaire which provided an overview of its working practices and culture.
The process assesses companies on themes such as Leadership, My Team, Wellbeing, Personal Growth, Giving Something Back and My Manager.
Freebridge will find out exactly where it is placed on the ‘Sunday Times 100 Best Not-For-Profit Organisations to Work For’ list in early 2015. Tony Hall, Chief Executive said: “I am so pleased to learn that we have, once again, made the Best Not-For-Profit Organisations to Work For list for the second year in a row.
“Our placing on the list is very much down to our employees, who make Freebridge such a great place to work. I would like to thank our employees for their ongoing support and all that they are doing to meet the needs of our customers, which is our most important business priority.”
“We have found that there are real business benefits from being part of the Best Companies process. Being one of the Best Companies to work for has helped us to recruit new employees, improve employee engagement and ultimately deliver customer satisfaction.
“It is great to have one of the best companies to work for here in West Norfolk as it supports our vision of A Better West Norfolk. I look forward to working with our fantastic team of employees in 2015.”
Freebridge will now use the feedback from the Best Companies process to improve employee satisfaction and continue to make Freebridge a place where people want to work
