Simply the best? You decide

Is yours one of the “Best Companies to Work For”? Not in a literal sense, but in the Sunday Times’ annual ratings sense.

Well, if you are, and your organisation has been labelled extraordinary, outstanding or first class, then no doubt you’ve made the big announcement to your employees and are basking in the kudos of having a “Best Company” logo on your letterheads.

So the last thing you want to hear is that the whole exercise is “just a PR gimmick” based on a “shocking” methodology.

Not my words but those of Nicholas Higgins, chief executive of human capital management experts Valuentis, who reckons he has detected a “rotting stench” around the exercise and the money given to support it by the Department of Trade and Industry (as was).

Is he right? Well, read what he has to say, look at what the Best Companies website has to say about how it works, and make your own mind up.
