Esteem Systems has been recognised as one of the Sunday Times Best 100 Small Companies to Work For.

The award was the result of an initial employee nomination, followed by a series of in-depth questionnaires and interviews with employees across the business.  Employees were asked to rate Esteem against 66 different questions covering 8 key elements such as leadership; personal growth; community spirit and well being.

The survey results gave a clear idea of the standard of communication, level of satisfaction, career opportunities and individual development programmes in place within Esteem.  Judges were particularly impressed by our personal development programmes, including learning grants, a mentoring scheme and training plans for every employee.  The internal reward and recognition programmes in place at Esteem were also highly praised and the survey revealed that 66% of our employees feel their job will help them achieve their dreams. This was one of the highest scores in this category.

Joe Connolly, CEO of Esteem, said: “We were delighted to be acknowledged in the Sunday Times Best 100 Small Companies to Work For list.  We aim to ensure employees receive all the help and support they need.  We have a low employee turnover which we put down to the opportunities and benefits we offer individuals, as well as the strong team spirit we aim to encourage.

“We believe that our success lies largely in the hands of our staff, in their skill and their commitment to working together as a team.  That’s why we invest in programs and activities that enhance working life and give employees job satisfaction.  We’ve enjoyed a great deal of success as a business over the last few years and it is our team, with their strong work ethic and commitment to the business, that has brought this success to us.”
