Jo Tripp, HR director at Liberis, which ranks 21st in the medium employer category, said: “It’s always been important to us that Liberis truly is a brilliant workplace, where we respect our people and look after them in the best way possible. Having an independent [organisation] come in to assess this, to mark where we’re getting things right, and the areas where we can improve, has been a really useful, rewarding experience.
“Working on our application and assessment was a great opportunity to pull the team together too. It was so lovely to sit in a room and just talk about all the wonderful things we do, and to share that across all of our teams. It’s been a real celebration of culture.”
