Peninsula Receive 3 Star Accreditation from Best Companies

Peninsula Business Services has been awarded three star accreditation from Best Companies, the employee engagement specialists, and have simultaneously secured themselves a place on the Top 100 Best Companies to Work For List for the 3rd consecutive year, moving ten places up on the previous year.

Peninsula achieved an extraordinary score on the Best Companies’ Survey, which examines the internal structure, culture and working of the business, from the perspective of those who play a huge part in its success, the employees.

In line with the findings from Deloitte in their Global Human Capital Trends Report, revealing that 80% of companies cited employee engagement as their top challenge, Peninsula has focussed its engagement strategy on integrating fun into the workplace, encouraging employee involvement and interaction across the business. Through an internal social committee, ran solely by the employees, internal events have included the weekly themed #fundayfridaypbs, charity drives and Fitness Thursday, where employees feel the burn to get fit and reduce stress levels.

Peter Done, Managing Director of Peninsula commented “This is fantastic news for everyone who makes Peninsula a great place to work and a trusted organisation for our clients. It’s a credit to our employees who display an enormous amount of drive and passion for the work they do. Fun at work may sound like the antithesis of what we think, when we imagine the workplace, but encouraging our employees to develop fun and engaging activities in the workplace has seen employee productivity increase significantly, whilst reducing levels of stress felt in the office.”

Since its conception in 1983, Peninsula has been proactive in safeguarding the wellbeing of their employees, whilst providing an environment that facilitates learning and development. Through constant feedback, Peninsula have demonstrated a commitment to providing tailored training programmes, on-going support and innovative working practices that have established a culture which celebrates and rewards the hard work employees contribute to Peninsula.
