ERIKS UK has maintained its high levels of employee engagement and development with Top Employer Certification for the second successive year.
The certification, from the Top Employer Institute, is recognition of the outstanding working conditions available to employees in the company and continued commitment to developing its people.
The Top Employers Institute globally certifies excellence following a comprehensive audit of each applicant company’s human resources policies and practices. In the UK, ERIKS joins other certified blue chip companies, including Bentley, Lloyds of London, Orange, Rentokil and St Gobain.
ERIKS achieved high marks across all major categories and, according to the judges “demonstrated its leadership status in the HR environment, always striving for optimum employment practices and to develop its employees.”
Specifically, ERIKS scored highly for its employee communication, particularly its participation structures, forums and internal groups including the use of social media as a communication tool. The judges also highlighted the company’s development initiatives including its use of job rotation programmes, graduate development and its coaching and mentoring programmes.
Denny Wood, Human Resources Director for ERIKS UK, commented on the award: “We are delighted to once again be recognised as an outstanding employer by the Top Employer Institute. The accreditation is the result of considerable planning and hard work which has created our industry-leading HR and benefits structure and the communication channels, which ensure that all employees are aligned with our corporate objectives and feel part of the ERIKS team.”
