It's Official, Innogistic is a Great Place to Work

In the recently published list of winners in the Best Companies Awards for 2009, Innogistic has been awarded a One Star Accreditation.

Dave Roberts, Innogistic’s Managing Director said “This is a great award, I am very pleased indeed. As Managing Director this award is particularly gratifying, not only in terms of knowing that my team is happy, but also because it means that we will attract the best candidates when recruiting in the future.

The ‘Michelin style’ elite accreditation system recognises qualifying organisations by a Star Rating and is organized by the same company behind The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For lists. It measures what the organisers call “staff engagement” within the company by allowing each individual to provide their opinions, anonymously, on a range of different subjects. In order to have achieved this award, Innogistic needed to score a staff engagement rating of between 85% and 87%, which is a tough challenge for any company in these difficult times.

Over 92% of Innogistic’s staff took part and completed the survey during November & December of last year. The survey asked detailed questions around eight specific subjects designed to find out precisely what it is like to work in an organisation:

• Leadership: How employees feel about the head of the organisation, senior managers, and the company’s values and principles


• My Manager: How employees feel about and communicate with their direct manager


• Personal Growth: What employees feel about training and their future prospects


• Wellbeing: How employees feel about stress, pressure at work, and work life balance


• My Team: Employees feelings towards their immediate colleagues and how well they work together


• Giving Something Back: The extent to which employees feel their organisation has a positive impact on society


• My Company: The level of engagement employees have for their job and organisation


• Fair Deal: How happy employees are with their pay and benefits
