The business surpassed previous years’ ratings, also placing at number 69 in the overall Best Large Companies to Work For list, and at 31 in the West Midlands list.
It also retained its 2-star accreditation as an ‘outstanding’ company to work for, rewarding its efforts to meaningfully engage and support its workforce year-on-year.
Best Companies’ nationally recognised accreditation celebrates employers that care about and value their people, striving to ensure they remain happy and engaged. Rating businesses using its unique b-Heard survey, the accreditation encourages organisations to work towards a high standard of excellence.
Discussing how this achievement follows the trajectory of the firm’s strategic goals, CEO, Alan Lusty, said: “Earning a third-place spot as the best company to work for in our sector is an incredible accomplishment.
“Employee engagement is an area of business that’s deeply valued at adi, and receiving such positive feedback from our staff means we have succeeded in creating the vision we want for our workforce.
“Of course, we know that there is no limit to improvements in this key area. We are always looking to grow and evolve in line with our employees’ needs – that's why tools such as the b-Heard survey are so valuable.”
In this year’s survey, 78% of staff agreed the experience gained from their job is valuable for the future, with the business actively promoting personal growth and providing quality training and development opportunities.
Performance reviews, personal development plans, and training opportunities are intrinsic elements of adi Group's employee engagement strategy, coupled with a generous annual awards scheme which rewards staff’s hard work and contributions.
The business offers a comprehensive benefits portal including a wellbeing centre, which provides employees with 24/7 access to support, guidance, and tools on key areas such as healthy eating, mental and physical wellbeing, and financial stability.
The Group reviews and actions employee feedback thanks to its "Tell Stirling" programme, which allows staff to voice their ideas and concerns, building a vital connecting bridge between leadership teams and employees.
