Manchester business earns Great Place to Work® Award

Sellick Partnership, a Manchester head-quartered financial and legal recruitment specialist has been recognised as one of 2015’s 100 Best Workplaces in the UK by ’The Great Place to Work® Institute’.

The Great Place to Work® Institute specialises in helping organisations build high trust, high engagement workplaces, and defines the three key characteristics of a ‘great workplace’ as:

• People trust their management
• Have pride in what they do
• Enjoy working with their colleagues

This year’s results were announced Wednesday May 13th, at a black-tie awards ceremony at the Westminster Park Plaza, London where Sellick Partnership was recognised for its enviable ratings for staff satisfaction, its supportive culture and its employees’ high level of trust in the company and its leaders.

With 6,000 organisations being assessed, achieving a top 100 placing underlines the strength of the work that Sellick Partnership is doing to create an exceptional place to work for all employees, coupled with providing a second-to-none service to its clients and candidates across the country.

Established in 2002, Sellick Partnership has gone from strength to strength and is now a market leading recruiter based across six offices nationwide, with another due to open in London in the coming weeks.

Jo Sellick, Managing Director commented: “This is the first year we’ve received this honour, and we couldn’t be prouder to have been awarded it. We’re only as good as our people, so our view is that by taking care of our employees, we’ll take care of our customers – our candidates and clients.”

“This achievement lets us know that we’re doing right by our staff and clients - we’re elated with the results.”

When asked what makes Sellick Partnership a ‘Great Place to Work’, Jo referenced the “unique mix of strong team ethic, encouragement of new initiatives, empowerment of individuals, and finally an innovative approach to staff development” as what differentiated the company from other recruitment agencies as an employer.

Tom O’Byrne, CEO of Great Place to Work® commented of the top 100: “The work of these organisations is impressive…they provide an example that others can look to, to see what kind of outstanding workplace is possible and how to get from Good to Great, regardless of size, industry or other circumstances”

Sellick Partnership offers employees a competitive benefits package, including above average basic salaries, generous uncapped commission, 25 days holiday, annual company-wide events, internal competitions, significant investment in bespoke training and career programmes, as well as a motivational business model that offers directors and managers to an equity stake.

Organisations named on the Best Workplace list see many benefits that include better financial performance, lower employee turnover, higher levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty, more innovative and creative thinking, higher productivity and enhanced public perception.
