Top 100 Best Small Companies 

Witan Jardine is one of the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For 2007

We work hard to provide the best possible environment for our people. Investing in our employees, providing them with strong leadership and developmental opportunities is central to our success.

What makes the real difference working at Witan Jardine is our “1st2” ethos, by which we mean our vision to be regarded as either the first or at least second choice for all our clients and candidates. In reality, it’s a practice that also drives our internal relationships. While we work hard, we also support each other, recognise individual contributions and know how to have fun.

Witan Jardine is delighted to achieve this award in the first year of entry. Especially as these awards are based on the comments of our employees. We were recognised by the Sunday Times as:

• Supporting our people
• Recognising contributions
• Providing open and honest management

Witan Jardine is awarded with a ‘Two Star Status’ within Best Companies Accreditation 2007.

Best Companies Accreditation recognises organisational excellence in the area of workplace engagement. The accreditation follows a ‘Michelin style’ star system of one star being first class, two stars being outstanding, rising to three stars being extraordinary. The scheme acknowledges and rewards organisations that provide excellent workplaces, excellent workplace practices, and great leadership as defined by its own employees.

In 2007, 434 organisations registered to go for ‘Star Status’, and since September over 100,000 employees from these organisations have been surveyed.

In total 273 oranisations achieved ‘Star Status’, with only 107 organisations in the UK recognised with Two Star Status. Witan Jardine was delighted to be one of those accredited with Two Star Status.

The Best Companies identify workplace performance and best practice according to 8 key factors:

Leadership; My Manager; Personal Growth; Wellbeing; My Team; Giving Something Back; My Company; Fair Deal.

These factors are particularly significant as they are defined through the results from the survey process, and therefore by employees themselves, as critical factors in Workplace Engagement.
