HLM Architects achieves Star Status for second year
For the second year running, HLM Architects has retained its One Star Status in the Best Companies Accreditation list 2007, which recognises organisational excellence in the area of workplace engagement.
The scheme acknowledges and rewards organisations that provide excellent workplaces, excellent workplace practices, and great leadership as defined by its own employees. It follows a 'Michelin style' star system of one star being first class, two stars being outstanding, rising to three stars being extraordinary. Out of 434 organisations, and 100,000 employees surveyed, only 273 organisations achieved "star status" with only 124 organisations in the UK recognised with One Star Status.
Jonathan Austin, Chief Executive of Best Companies, said: "HLM's 2007 accreditation is an outstanding achievement. It confirms the practice's commitment to the on-going journey of workplace engagement."
Douglas Roxburgh, director in charge of the Glasgow office at HLM, said: "There is no better way to discover how to motivate and inspire your employees than by listening to what they have to say about their jobs. Our One Star Status is an excellent achievement and rewards the effort and investment that we have put into our staff's personal and career development."
The results of the survey overall showed over three-quarters (77%) of employees working for accredited organisations vouched that they had confidence in the leadership skills of their bosses. This figure was significantly lower at 60% in organisations that did not achieve accreditation. 85% of staff in accredited companies would strongly recommend working for their organisation while only 64 per cent of staff in non-accredited companies would do so.
Accredited companies recognise the need for positive feedback and in return eight out of ten (79%) of their employees feel their contribution is valued as opposed to 58% of staff in non-accredited companies. Nine out of ten (88%) employees in accredited organisations are proud to work there. In non-accredited organisations, this figure falls to two-thirds (66%).
