A monumental day for our team! We have earned a prestigious spot on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list for 2024, within the medium organisation category!
This prestigious award is a testament to our dedication to fostering an exceptional workplace culture where our team members not only thrive but excel, where ideas and individuals are valued.
In The Sunday Times survey, completed anonymously by our employees and independently managed by WorkL, our score soared to an impressive 88%, compared to the industry average of 73%.
To achieve a high overall hashtag#engagement score, an organisation must score well across WorkL’s six-step framework: Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing and Job Satisfaction. We have achieved an 'excellent' rating across all six workplace engagement categories, and surpassed the industry average by a significant margin, underscoring the unwavering commitment and passion of every member of exigere.
Of notable importance is the timing of this achievement, coinciding with exigere's significant growth over the past few years, now with a team of over 80 talented individuals, more than double our size from just a few years ago.
Noteworthy feedback from our team includes outstanding scores on key questions such as "I have a good relationship with my manager", "I am treated with respect", and "I am happy and feel safe with my working environment". Additionally, our dedication to diversity and inclusion earned us an 'excellent' rating.
For Niall Aitken, Partner at exigere and who leads our ‘People Team’, being “recognised on The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is a testament to our unwavering focus on creating a supportive and inspiring environment for our team. This achievement reaffirms our belief that investing in our people is key to our success. We want to thank our employees for their commitment and contributions, which have truly made exigere one of the best places to work."
This recognition adds to our growing list of accolades, including the Building Awards 2021 for Construction Consultant/Surveyor of the Year (fewer than 100 staff), the Investors in People Best Use of Technology Award 2022, the National Building & Construction Awards 2023 for Innovation of the Year, and our attainment of Investors in People Gold status.
We're incredibly proud of our remarkable team for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. Here's to celebrating many more milestones and continued success together!
