2007 Best Companies Accreditation
Quote from Jonathan Austin, Chief Executive, Best Companies
“North East Council on Addictions 2007 accreditation is an outstanding achievement. It confirms their commitment to the on-going journey of workplace engagement. Our role is to set a rigorous benchmark so that organisations can become even better employers.”
Accreditation in 2007
This year, 434 organisations registered to go for ‘Star Status', and since September over 100,000 employees from these organisations have been surveyed. In total 273 organisations achieved ‘Star Status' success;
• 42 organisations achieved Three Star Status
• 107 organisations achieved Two Star Status
• 124 Companies achieved One Star Status
The Accreditation
The Accreditation, developed by Best Companies is based on a star rating system where one star is first class, two stars are outstanding, and three stars are extraordinary. Organisational successes have been defined using data from the 2007 Best Companies to Work For survey which involved surveying over 100,000 employees from 434 companies.
The Best Companies survey is designed to measure employee engagement and uses 70 questions to gain a comprehensive view of employee engagement across eight factors. Every company that goes for Best Companies Accreditation is given a Best Companies Index score (BCI). This score (on a scale of 1 to 1000) is defined from employees responses to the sixteen key questions within the Best Companies survey. ‘Star Status' is determined by the ‘BCI' score and the specific cut-off points for One, Two, and Three Star Accreditation remain constant year on year.
