Do you work for one of the best employers in Britain?

Britain's best employers have been revealed - but what separates a great place to work from the rest?

The best companies to work for in the UK have been revealed this month in the 10th annual survey from the Great Place to Work Institute. The scheme ranks the UK's major employers by gauging the strength of the relationships between staff and management.

It also looks at how employees feel about their jobs and the companies they work for. Here are the top 10 this year:

1. Baringa Partners

2. Danone

3. Impact International

4. Microsoft

5. Novo Nordisk

6. NetApp UK

7. Diageo GB

8. General Mills UK

9. Danone Waters UK & Ireland

10. Admiral Group

Management consultancy Baringa Partners topped this year's poll. Elsewhere in the top 10 are household names like last year's winner Danone, Microsoft, drinks giant Diageo and insurer Admiral.

The scheme's chief executive Tom O'Byrne suggests the best firms understand that “progressive people management and generous benefits” are only part of creating a strong workplace culture and cites “trust” as the key element that makes a great place to work.

This “trust” is established through good communication and benefits that go way beyond a bonus and free mobile phone.
