Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority is delighted to announce that it is now officially one of the top 100 not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
The recent announcement about making it in to the 100 Best Companies list for 2015 came as a welcome surprise to staff who were told by a video message directly from Jonathan Austin, CEO of Best Companies.
‘Best Companies’ is widely acknowledged as the most extensive research into employee engagement carried out in the UK and around 800 businesses and organisations register to take part each year.
The Park Authority signed up to Best Companies in 2013 to help measure and improve employee engagement levels and last year was highlighted as ‘one to watch’.
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Chief Executive, Gordon Watson, said:
“I’m delighted that Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is now recognised as one of the top 100 not-for-profit companies to work for in the UK. It is an incredible achievement and is undoubtedly down to the hard work and commitment of all our staff.”
To help celebrate the joint 15 year anniversary of Best Companies and Comic Relief, the National Park Authority is getting involved in the ‘CEO selfie’ campaign to raise funds for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day, which takes place on Friday 13 March. To take part staff are being encouraged to take selfies, or team selfies, wearing a red nose and post their photos on Twitter. So far more than £16,000 has been raised from businesses and organisations taking part.
A further announcement will be made in February about where in the Top 100 Best Companies list Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority sits.
