TODAY marks the launch of The Herald Top Employer Awards – an opportunity to celebrate those forward-thinking employers who put employees, their training, progression and welfare, at the heart of everything that they do and who are committed to the long-term support of their staff. Categories include awards for small, medium and large employers; for the best apprenticeship or graduate programme and for the best use of digital technologies. One category set to produce interesting results in the Best Flexible Working category, which is sponsored by Flexibility Works, a social business founded by working mothers Lisa Gallagher and Nikki Slowey, as a way of supporting organisations to implement flexible working practices. “The pandemic has seen an acceleration in the use of flexible working. Having a range of people and perspectives builds stronger organisations, forges a far better understanding of markets and helps bridge skills gaps.
