Winning the War for Talent: Doing the basics really well

We believe any organisation can build a great culture no matter what external pressures they face, and the organisations featured on this, our first ever, Best Workplace for Tech list have proven this to be true.

Being a Great Place to Work is about doing the basics really well, not about fancy perks and having nice offices. It’s about focusing on good two-way communication, it’s about leaders who deliver on their promises, it’s about connecting people’s role with the purpose of the organisation.

As offices and proximity were taken away from organisations, great people leadership shone through, leaders who connected with their people virtually, leaders who aimed to support their teams through a new way of working. Leaders who understand the importance between wellbeing and performance.

The organisations featured do not believe they are a perfect workplace (there is no such thing) but they are committed to improving their workplace culture to help maximise their talent retention and attract the best talent.

All of these workplaces have committed to using the Great Place to Work framework to support and improve their workplace culture and also to enhance and grow their employer brand.

On behalf of the Great Place to Work team, we thank all of our clients for their ongoing partnership.
