TNT drives to top of Britain's best employers list
TNT, which employs 1,800 people in the county and has its UK headquarters in Atherstone, features in a line up of the finest employers in the land in a new book that highlights best practice in human resources management.
The book, entitled ‘Britain’s Top Employers 2008’, published last week, follows months of assessments by global independent research experts the Corporate Research Foundation (CRF).
TNT ranks alongside some of the leading brands in Britain’s business world including household names such as Cadbury Schweppes, Innocent, Asda and the John Lewis Partnership.
Not only did TNT feature in the list of more than 70 top UK companies, it also received a special award from CRF for Sustained HR Excellence.
The Corporate Research Foundation’s judging panel rated each company on nine defined categories: Pay and benefits; Career development; Leadership; Company culture and style; Knowledge management; Employee Relations; Recruitment strategies; Diversity; Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Following the rigorous assessment from the researchers, marks were awarded in each category and TNT’s performance was particularly strong in the areas of career development, employee relations and CSR.
