Local businesses have been sharing why they have put themselves forward for 'Jersey's Best Workplace', a new awards initiative launched by All Island Media which will help unlock insights about their teams.
In partnership with CompassJersey, the employee engagement award seeks to identify the gold-standard of employee satisfaction in the island.
To identify a winner, businesses will be benchmarked against each other and receive detailed analysis.
Before that analysis gets underway, Express spoke to several businesses who have decided to take part in the process.
Chris Martin and Chris Elmes, joint directors of Indigo Dental Practice, explained what the dental practice is hoping to learn from the programme and what a good workplace culture means to them...
At Indigo Dental Practice, we believe that a positive and supportive work environment is the foundation of exceptional patient care.
Participating in the Jersey’s Best Workplace initiative allows us to showcase our commitment to our team and to continuously improve our workplace culture. We are motivated by the opportunity to learn from other organisations and to celebrate the hard work and dedication of our staff.
1. Collaboration: Working together as a team ensures that we provide the best possible care for our patients and support for each other.
2. Respect: Valuing each team member's contributions and treating everyone with kindness fosters a harmonious and productive work environment.
3. Growth: Encouraging continuous learning and professional development helps our team members achieve their full potential and keeps our practice at the forefront of dental care.
A great workplace culture is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent because it creates an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and motivated.
In Jersey's competitive job market, a positive culture sets us apart and helps us build a dedicated and skilled team. Happy employees are more likely to stay with the organisation long-term, reducing turnover and ensuring continuity of care for our patients.
We are eager to gain insights into best practices for employee engagement, satisfaction, and well-being.
Understanding what other successful organisations are doing can help us identify areas for improvement and implement new strategies to enhance our workplace culture.
Additionally, feedback from our own team members will be invaluable in guiding our efforts to create an even better work environment.
The results of this initiative will provide us with a clear understanding of our strengths and areas for improvement.
We plan to use this information to refine our internal practices, such as enhancing our professional development programs, improving communication channels, and fostering a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
Ultimately, these insights will help us develop strategies that align with our commitment to excellence in patient care and employee satisfaction.
Top-performing companies will be highlighted in a special Jersey’s Best Workplace publication distributed in print and online through All Island Media's brands, Bailiwick Express and the Jersey Evening Post in March.
Winners will also be honoured at a special awards ceremony this year.
In addition to the survey results, compensation and potential to be crowned 'Jersey’s Best Workplace', entrants will receive an All Island Media advertising credit and an annual subscription to the digital edition of the Jersey Evening Post.
