It’s only through achieving excellent employee engagement we can deliver quality and excellence in our services to members. The fact our employees have been engaged enough to respond to the survey and are motivated and committed to the CIPP’s mission and values speaks volumes, and I thank them for their hard work and dedication. We couldn’t have achieved this accreditation without them.” The best companies to work for lists have been recognising excellent employee engagement since 2001. The accreditation programme was modelled on the Michelin Guide star system, which means it stands for quality and excellence.
