A CHESHIRE company has been recognised as being a ‘great place to work’.

It is the seconding year running that EMR, which is based in Westbrook, has retained its certified Great Place to Work status.

The survey covered all aspects of work life, including safety, wellbeing, communication, career development, and rewards and benefits.

This year, the business had its highest ever participant rate in the survey, with 78 per cent of its workforce completing it.

Chris Sheppard, EMR CEO, said: "We're incredibly proud to, once again, be recognised as a Great Place To Work.

"This certification shows our commitment to making EMR a fantastic workplace for all our colleagues.

“Our colleagues and their safety, satisfaction, and pride in their work, along with trust in the company, are all very important to us.”

The family-run business has more than 4,000 colleagues across more than 160 sites, including in the UK, USA, Germany and the Netherlands.

Chris added: “It’s clear from the results that things are still moving in the right direction, however the work doesn’t stop here. There are still areas across the business that we need to continue to focus on, to move us from a great place to work for most to a great place to work for all.

"With a high response rate of over 70% across the Group, it's brilliant that so many colleagues see that we’re listening to their feedback and acting on it. We're delighted this 'you said, we did' approach is having a near-immediate impact on their daily working lives.

“Building and maintaining a positive culture is hard work, and there’s always room to improve our colleagues’ experience. We remain focused on what truly matters to our people and to make EMR an even safer and better place to work for everyone, by continuing to offer enhanced opportunities, sustainable careers, a supportive, safe environment, and a strong collaborative culture.”
