Great people practices deliver real competitive advantage. They also make for the best places to work. The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For provides a great opportunity to highlight winning organisations, and the practices that drive their superior performance. We’re proud to be associated with the awards.

The importance of being a great place to work doesn’t diminish in tough times. But plans and actions may need to be scaled down or prioritised. Things may look different, but what remains constant is the commitment to motivated employees. Engaged staff understand when times are tough and will respond by going the extra mile. The firms in these pages are best placed to emerge strongly in a recovery.

Being a great company to work for is not just about prestigious listings and names up in lights. It can make the difference between success and failure. But today we celebrate a prestigious list of companies who deserve to have their names up in lights. I’d like to congratulate each and every one of them, and all the people who work so hard to get them there.
