Best Companies Live Q3 2022 - The penultimate League Table reveal!

Friday 19th August saw us successfully deliver our third and penultimate virtual quarterly event of 2022. During this spectacular live showcase event, we witnessed our league table model in full action, with companies joining those that already gained places on the league tables in Q1 and Q2. We spent the day celebrating the very best in workplace engagement!

Hosted by TV presenter, Dan Walker, and broadcast live from Media City in Salford via our very own specially designed platform, the third quarterly ‘Best Companies Live’ event saw us recognise the very best organisations nationally, regionally and by sector.

Alongside revealing who made it as a ‘Best Company to Work For’, we were joined during the day by guest panellists representing a wide variety of sectors to discuss the most topical workplace issues. Sessions included those looking at the cost-of-living crisis, how to maintain culture and building energy, the importance of employer brand, and people management in a remote world.

You can catch up with all the action as it happened by enjoying the content from Q3’s event below...

The Cost of Living Crisis

With the UK’s cost of living crisis set to deepen into the autumn, how are leaders easing the financial pressure their employees are under, as well as maintaining sustainability for their organisation?

In this session, Dan will ask guests from leading organisations how they’ve structured their response to the crisis so far, and what measures they’ve put in place to balance rising costs and business needs with supporting their employees. We’ll also discuss the reasons why decisive action, and a clear plan, can positively impact colleague engagement.

Maintaining Culture & Building Energy

With working outside of a traditional office environment the ‘new norm’ for many, how do you maintain an organisation’s culture and build energy amongst employees so that the company’s goals can be realised?

In this session, Dan will speak to those that believe shared experiences amongst employees should be part of a strategic plan. We’ll ask how their initiatives have helped create a sense of togetherness, and how regular interaction and communication can help drive productivity, creativity, and engagement amongst employees.

How Important is Employer Brand?

Keeping hold of, and attracting new talent, is an ongoing challenge for most organisations. So just how important is marketing your credentials as a stand-out employer when it comes to recruitment and retention?

In this session, we’ll speak to those organisations that are leading the way in showcasing their employee experience. We’ll look at how they demonstrate they’re a great place to work, how they communicate their values and benefits and how they advertise their overall employee value proposition and the effect this has on recruitment and retention.

People Management in a Remote World

When it comes to traditional people management, new ways of working have forced many to rip up the rule books. But just what does it take to be a successful manager in a remote world?

That’s what Dan will be asking our guests in this session, how have they equipped their managers to manage successfully, regardless of where – or how – their people work. We’ll also revisit how important the employee-manager relationship is on overall engagement.

Who's Getting it Right?

Since early 2020, organisations have faced many challenges unlike any in recent memory. However, despite such adversity, some organisations have led and managed their people in such a way that they have seen an improvement in their Best Companies accreditation status.

In this session, Dan will discuss with the best improvers, across all size categories, just how they’ve gone about listening to their people and implementing positive change to help create an even better workplace.
