 CIPD PRESS RELEASE 19 February 2008
CIPD to sponsor The Sunday Times 100 Best
Companies to Work For
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
(CIPD) is to celebrate workplace excellence
this year by sponsoring 'The Sunday Times 100
Best Companies to Work for' list.
The awards - to be handed out at Battersea
Evolution on 28 February - recognise the most
inspiring and progressive workplaces as rated
by their employees.
Geoff Armstrong, director general of the CIPD, says:
"The CIPD is delighted to help celebrate the
success of leading organisations in engaging
with their employees. Organisations that engage
the commitment and willing contribution of their
employees have a competitive advantage in today's
global marketplace. We're pleased to work with
Best Companies and The Sunday Times to champion
this simple but important message."
These awards recognise those organisations who
have achieved high levels of employee engagement;
the key to sustainable business performance and
the attraction and retention of talented and
committed people.
Jonathan Austin, Founder & CEO of Best Companies,
says:
"We are delighted that the CIPD is sponsoring
our awards this year, their agenda supports our
primary purpose of helping to make the world a
better workplace and like us they recognise that
people really are at the heart of the workplace."
The CIPD will also sponsor a special award
recognising the organisation that is 'Best for
Leadership'.
Notes to Editors:
* The Chartered Institute of Personnel and
Development (CIPD) has over 130,000 members
and is the leading professional institute for
those involved in the management and development
of people.
* Each year Best Companies and the Sunday Times

that every organisation wants to be involved in.
