FourNet is aiming to address employee engagement in a number of ways and set itself the target of winning a place in the Times 100 best places to work in the UK in 2021. The publication has been postponed for a year but nevertheless FourNet is being assessed by Best Companies to see how it compares to other companies aspiring to appear in the Top 100 list. 

This gives Fournet a framework to work to as the award involves a process to demonstrate good scores in 8 specific areas of employee engagement:

Leadership – the heads and senior managers of the company

My Manager – the local management on a day-to-day basis

Personal Growth – opportunities to learn skills and advance

Wellbeing – balancing work-life issues

My Team – immediate colleagues

Giving Something Back – giving back to society and to the community

My Company – the company and the way it treats staff

Fair Deal – pay and benefits

We hope to be able to report on their progress with this in future reports. If successful, this should also significantly improve their ratings in “Valuing our People”.
