It Matters Where You Work: Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For 2024.

The annual report on the?100 best companies to work for has been released by Fortune . Although a US initiative - led by Great Place To Work US - the list and the factors addressed have a lot to tell us about what is driving business success and what employees are looking for from their employer. Although salary is always a key driver, employees are increasingly prioritizing workplace culture, wellness benefits and looking for a commitment to diversity from their employer to ensure the make-up of their colleagues is as diverse as the nation’s population. Fortune's list isn't just another ranking.?In calculating their results, they measure the core of what?creates great workplaces—key behaviours that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. ?

We know that organisations that address workplace culture and put a priority on empowering their staff are likely to rise to the top. Sadly, every business and organisation will experience ups and downs and despite all the best efforts will face staff issues and risks of business compliance. Employees are humans after all and are fallible. Having a healthy and proactive Speak Up culture is an essential part of good business – enabling staff to call out problems and concerns when they see them. We have been championing the inclusivity of whistleblowing for decades.?Our whistleblowing services are bespoke and tailored to individual organisations. No matter?size or status, all organisations have a responsibility to look after their staff and we believe this begins with an effective whistleblowing framework.
