A UK Top Employer 2019

Mitie has received Certified Top Employer UK 2019 recognition from the Top Employers Institute becoming the only UK FM company to be recognised.

The certificate is awarded to organisations that have worked hard to create, implement and progress their people strategies. Top Employers lead the way in ‘people-first’ HR practices.

As an independent HR certification company, the Top Employers Institute assesses participants through its global HR Best Practices Survey which covers topics from Talent Acquisition to Leadership Development. In order to be certified, organisations must successfully achieve the required standard as set out by the Top Employers Institute.

David Plink, CEO of the Top Employers Institute said: “We believe that the 2019 Certified organisations demonstrate exceptional employee conditions and encourage the development of these practices by putting their people first. These companies help enrich the world of work with their outstanding dedication to HR excellence and because of this, they are recognised as an employer of choice.”

You Said, We Did

The certificate comes as Mitie continues its cultural transformation programme. Mitie has listened to its 54,000 staff and responded directly to their needs by launching it’s ‘You Said, We Did’ campaign.
