We are very proud to receive a Leading Employers award and be recognised among the top 1% of UK companies to work for. The Leading Employers award aims to bring clarity to the large range of employer studies and awards. It uses a methodology that reviews an extensive number of sources, feedbacks and topics. By combining all this data, a significantly higher validity than in a stand-alone study can be achieved. Reflecting on this recognition, Tom Millar, Director of People at Reed in Partnership commented: “We have a continuing strategic priority to be a great place to work. This means that we focus on creating a workplace that supports our employees to deliver excellent services to our customers. We do this through a range of activities such as positive reward and recognition, learning and career development. As a business with an ambition to continue to grow and diversify, we value our talented employees and are proud to be recognised within the top 1% of leading employers in the UK.” #LeadingEmployers #Top1%

What matters most to talent in professional roles? In today’s increasingly competitive landscape, ensuring a robust talent pool to drive innovation, commercialization, and sales is more important than ever before. When it comes to securing specialized, professional talent, employers must adapt to their changing needs and ambitions. Although competitive salaries have traditionally been a strong lure, our Workmonitor research reveals that professionals are increasingly valuing broader aspects of employment, such as job flexibility, development, and pay equity. Employers can no longer rely on salary alone to incentivize, attract and retain knowledge workers. The employer of choice will cultivate a culture, prioritise balance and encourage development.
