Five steps to winning the Best Place to Work Award

Everyone wants to work somewhere with a positive workplace culture that fosters engagement and productivity to promote teamwork and boost the morale of its employees. 

At the inaugural Hampshire Business Awards, we’ll be recognising one especially committed workplace that has demonstrated a dedication to inclusivity and strived towards creating a supportive culture. 

But before we present the Best Place to Work Award to the most-deserving company in Hampshire, here are five steps that you can take towards bringing home the trophy: 

Invest in your employees – above all else, the key to building a positive workplace is putting your employees first. By focusing on their needs and overall employee satisfaction, you’ll be giving yourself the best possible chance of being named the Best Place to Work. 

Focus on diversity, equity and inclusion – you should be aiming to improve the working lives of all of your employees across the board. A phenomenal workplace is one that allows every single one of its employees to feel supported and empowered. 

Prioritise employee feedback and communication – no-one knows about the needs of your employees better than they do. Listening to any feedback that you receive and ensuring that you are acting on it in an effective and punctual manner will be instrumental in winning the Best Place to Work Award. 

Implement effective training and development initiatives – one of the best ways to support your employees is to be active in reinforcing the future of their career. You can easily impress our judges by offering accessible training programs and providing business education in the workplace.
