Blog / ESG VMI is a certified Great Place to Work! 20 January 2022 — by Barry Bassett VMI has always striven to be a place that people enjoy working in and a recent independent audit by organisation, GreatPlaceToWork, has confirmed that 96% of VMI’s workforce judge VMI do indeed be a Great Place to Work. This certification required a minimum Trust Index© threshold to be achieved of at least 65% including appraisal of our Culture Brief©. As you can see from the results below, we scored particularly highly from staff confirming that we celebrated special events, made people feel welcome when they first joined the company, for fairness and equity and specifically that people felt that they were treated fairly regardless of their sexual orientation. We are really proud that this certification recognises our hard work and wanted to share our good news. Top Statements of the resultsAbout Great Place to WorkGreat Place To Work® began with an unexpected discovery. In 1981, a New York editor asked two business journalists – Robert Levering and Milton Moskowitz – to write a book called The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America. Though the pair were sceptical they could find 100 companies that would qualify, they agreed, starting a journey that would lead to more than 30 years of researching, recognising and building great workplaces.These insights led to the founding of Great Place to Work Institute. Business leaders around the world adopted the Institute’s models and methodology as a valuable way to measure and create great workplaces. Today it operates in over 50 countries. Great Place to Work came to the UK in 2000.TodayThey help organisations create exceptional, high performing workplaces where employees feel trusted and valued.
