Muir Group accredited by Best Companies Ltd.
Chester-based Muir Group Housing Association has been awarded star status by Best Companies Ltd.
Best Companies is an organisation which aims to help make the world a better work place. It has been established to acknowledge excellence in the workplace and recognise great work practices and employee care.
John Bellis, Muir’s Chief Executive said: It was a pleasure to receive this recent award and fantastic to know that when our staff are surveyed, independently by an impartial best practice company like Best Companies, we get such great responses which mean we can win awards like this and be promoted as one of the UK’s best employers. To know that staff are happy and proud to be part of Muir is a real feat for us as an employer and an organisation where our people are so important”.
Each company is assessed on various factors by its own employees. Based on this staff feedback, organisations receive a Best Companies index score which determines their star rating compared to a fixed standard. There are three ratings ranging from ‘one’ star to ‘three’ star.
Muir Group has been given a one star rating. This accreditation means that the association can now display the prestigious Best Companies Accreditation logo.
Best Companies will now promote Muir via its website as one of the UK’s best workplaces.
Monica Robinson, Leasehold and Central Services Manager at Muir said: “I have worked for Muir for nearly 20 years and have found them to be a great employer to work for. All staff I have worked with have been here many years and the staff turnover is very low.
“They offer flexible working which helps keep a good balance between your work and your home life. They also offer excellent training services and will finance any relevant course or qualifications.”
John Bellis and Elaine Roscoe from Muir attended a celebration event at the Cumberland Hotel in London where they were presented with the award by Jonathan Austin, founder and chief executive of Best Companies Ltd.
