Is your business Jersey’s best workplace?

Tuesday 08 October 2024


Local businesses are being invited to compete for the title of 'Jersey’s Best Workplace' in a brand-new employee engagement award.

The initiative has been launched by All Island Media, the parent company of the Jersey Evening Post and Bailiwick Express, and HR consultancy business CompassJersey.

The new annual award aims to recognisorganisationthat are considered great placeto work by their employees. 

Participating businesses will receive a survey focused on employee satisfaction, wellbeing and workplace culture. The award is an opportunity for organisations to showcase what they do well, acting as a celebration and benchmark of success. 

James Horrigan, Strategy and Growth Director at CompassJersey, said the Jersey’s Best Workplace initiative “is not another employee engagement survey”. 

He explained: “It’s an entirely different proposition, designed to elevate an organisation’s ability to demonstrate to the rest of the world what its employees genuinely think about its efforts across six key areas: reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, personal pride, job satisfaction and wellbeing.” 

The award process invites employees to give their honest opinions “to help the company market itself externally and shape its internal practices”, added Mr Horrigan. 

Businesses will not only receive detailed results and analysis but will also be benchmarked against other local businesses. 

Top-performing companies will be highlighted in a special Jersey’s Best Workplace publication distributed in print and online through the Jersey Evening Post and Bailiwick Express in March 2025. Winners will be honoured at a special awards ceremony in March 2025. 

All Island Media CEO James Filleul said the award enables businesses to “showcase their commitment to creating a positive workplace environment and use the results to enhance their reputation, attracting and retaining top talent”. 

This, added Mr Horrigan, is particularly beneficial, given the island’s employment market. 

“Jersey has a concentration of highly qualified, highly motivated individuals but also a high concentration of employers fighting for those individuals,” he said.

“This supply and demand rule amplifies the need for organisations to be in the best position to attract and retain the best talent.” 

In addition to the survey results, compensation and potential to be crowned Jersey’s Best Workplace, entrants will receive an All Island Media advertising credit and an annual subscription to the digital edition of the Jersey Evening Post.
