Times Accreditation and Best Companies Process

How the Accreditation Process Works
Best Companies send questionnaires to all staff who can then fill them in anonymously. They rate the company on eight key criteria including: their manager, leadership, the company, personal growth, their team, fair deal, giving something back and wellbeing. PSL had more than 81% of its questionnaires returned, which demonstrates the value their employees see in the survey.
Any company from across the UK with more than 50 full time equivalent staff can enter the accreditation process, so it is a huge achievement for PSL to come in the top 100.
Three Star Achievement for PSL
PSL built onits previous strong performance in the survey having achieved two star status twice before; however this is the first time that they have achieved three stars, described by Best Companies as “an extraordinary achievement”.
PSL’s managing director, Paul Hunt, says “Coming in the Top 100 of all small and medium sized companies is an amazing achievement for PSL and shows just how far we have come in the past 25 years. The fact that it is based on our employees’ opinions demonstrates what an excellent place PSLis to work. This is great news for our customers too as we realised long ago that if employees enjoy what they do and feel passionately about the company they work for, then it is passed on in excellent service to our customers.”
