Instarmac Boasts 3rd Year as a Times Top 100 Company
Instarmac, home to the Ultracrete, Ultrascape, Ultra Tile and Ultra Floor brands has, for the third year running, been officially named as a Times Top 100 Small Company to Work For.
The renowned Times Top 100 listings have this year recognised more companies than ever as extraordinary places to work – proving that employee engagement philosophy is certainly making a comeback. Over 291,000 employees nationwide filled in surveys this year, showing that competition for a listing place was more heated than ever. In total 1165 organisations, from both the private and public sectors, applied for Best Companies accreditation too – this ‘Michelin-style’ scoring system applies one, two or three-star status ratings to companies based on such topics as engagement, well-being and employee care.
Instarmac was one of just 158 organisations to be awarded a ‘two-star’ status (its 3rd year running) and be described as ‘outstanding’, recognising its great working practices and employee care. The employee survey assesses company culture under several categories including:
- Leadership: how people feel about the head and senior management team of their organisation
- Personal Growth: examining whether people feel challenged by their job, and if they utilise all their skills
- Fair Deal: how well employees feel they are treated and how their pay and benefits compare
- Well Being: measuring stress, pressure and work-life balance.
Pictured with the award are Tim Boniface (Finance Director) Donna Heath (Company Secretary), Niccei Castanheira (HR Manager) and Paul Butcher (Sales Director).
Niccei Castanheira comments: “Instarmac is delighted to be listed as a Times Top 100 company for the thirds year running. As a company we are committed to our employees, their development and ensuring they are engaged in the work they do. This enables us to deliver the outstanding levels of customer service we have become renowned for.”
A Top 100 listing for the 3rd year in a row is an achievement that Instarmac is very proud of. The company’s internal “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make a Difference” motto and philosophy has certainly been cemented with this latest achievement – a well-deserved compliment to a company whose internal culture can certainly lead the way in employee engagement.
Jonathan Austin, CEO & Founder of Best Companies, said: “Organisations like Instarmac have continued to focus on their employees and have been rewarded with an engaged workforce who tell us that this is a great place to work.”
