Huxley Associates is delighted to announce that it has been named as one of the Top 50 Best Workplaces in the UK for the fourth consecutive year and for the first time into the Best Workplaces in The Netherlands (in 15th position).

The reputation of this award is growing as employers realise the importance of ensuring that their employees feel valued. As a result, the competition to receive these accolades is becoming more intense.

The results are based predominately on independent employee surveys covering credibility, respect, fairness, pride and camaraderie. This encompasses the level of trust and quality of relationships that exist through the organisation.

Huxley Managing Director Mike Smith said: "Being on the UK list for the fourth year running is an honour and being 15th position in The Netherlands the first time we have entered is a fantastic achievement and something that we are extremely proud of. We are continually striving for customer satisfaction, which is dependent on satisfied employees. As a growing business, with ambitious expansion plans, these awards from the Great Places to Work Institute have been a fantastic tool for us to attract talented employees to come and work for us. It is essential for us to make sure we are there again next year."
He added: "The fact that our employees vote for these awards is a true testament to our achievements. We cannot afford to put our feet up but must continue to strive to raise our standards and ensure every employee feels proud to work for us".

Huxley Associates has found the feedback from these surveys invaluable and has used the 2006 UK survey to improve areas such as environment, training and development. We have hired additional support staff, including performance coaches and systems support personnel, and have reviewed our employee incentive schemes.

In 2006 we reviewed our company values and have realigned these to our culture. Pride, Professionalism, Fun, Respect, Creativity and Honesty are ingrained in our working practices and will help us to uphold our reputation as an employer of choice.
