About this title

From the Back Cover

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR WHEN SELECTING A COMPANY TO WORK FOR?
HIGH RATES OF PAY?
CAREER PROSPECTS?
A RELAXED, FRIENDLY, WORK ENVIRONMENT?
SUPERB TRAINING?

'Britain’s Top Employers' offers incisive and compelling insights into the best, most forward thinking companies existing in this country today. A shortlist of the brightest firms has been compiled, all of which take a leading, innovatory approach to managing their most important resource – people.

Each profile asks: “What makes this company an attractive one to work for, and what would it be like for me to be a part of it?” The response to this question goes beyond statistics, and directly to the essence of the firm – its culture, style and feel, rather than its formal policies, structures and procedures.

The specialist business authors also recognise, reallistically, that no one company can get everything right all the time – their objective summaries provide a useful counterweight to the glossy, often uninformative, company brochure.

Whether you are a graduate, a young executive, a professional recruiter, a company analyst, a manager or an HR and personnel professional, this book will be an invaluable career tool for you.

The Corporate Research Foundation is an international organisation that aims to inform a wide audience about corporate culture, effective HR management and corporate strategies.
