Quote from the top...
Kisimul really stands out as putting its people at the heart of decision making and I was so inspired by how much our employees and the people we support got involved with co-producing and launching our values earlier this year. The feedback from our Best Companies survey will be incredibly valuable in shaping what we do next to further inspire, engage and develop our employees.
