CHL Mortgages has again the recipient of the top Three Star Status Award in the Best Companies Accreditation.
CHL has been named as one of 84 organisations in the UK to have achieved the award and is also one of only 16 firms that held onto their status from 2010.
In the South East region, CHL are one of just 11 organisations to have achieved Three Star Status.
Best Companies established the accreditation award scheme to acknowledge excellence in the workplace. Based on staff feedback, it looks at employee engagement as an integral part of a company’s success and growth, and sets a benchmark for other employers. The accreditation scheme follows a Michelin star-style system with companies awarded one star for first class, two stars for outstanding and three stars for extraordinary performance.
The survey of over 291,000 employees reveals that overall engagement among participating organisations has bounced back from a slight dip last year, returning to levels seen in 2009. This year the survey reveals that employees in the private sector are less worried about the impact of the economic climate for their organisation, however, in the public and third sector, employees are much more worried about the impact of the economy on their future.
Bob Young , managing director of CHL Mortgages, said: “To once again achieve the coveted Three Star Status in the Best Companies Accreditation is a fantastic achievement and is proof positive that we take the needs of our employees and the environment they work within very seriously.
