The Welcom Software Group are celebrating more award success with their recent win of the highly sought after accolade ‘Best Company to Work for’ at the annual Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards.

Described at the ceremony as “a World Class employer”, this achievement adds to the organisation’s ever-growing collection of awards and accreditations whilst emphasising their continued commitment to their employees.

Bringing together some of the finest companies and entrepreneurs from across the region, the Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards, now in their second year, are designed to celebrate the success and diversity of the Yorkshire and Humberside business community. Seeking out the very best of the best, the awards highlight the creativity and quality of the diverse collection of businesses and individual entrepreneurs found across our region.

For the Welcom Software Group, this award is another external indicator of the success of the organisation’s recent culture transformation achieved through the implementation of people-centred business practices placing people and their well-being as a key driver of the business. This success was also recently highlighted by the Group’s accreditation against the Investors in People Work-Life Balance model. Adding to the IiP Recruitment & Selection & Management & Leadership models, Welcom was the first company in the Yorkshire and Humberside region to be accredited against all three.

Nigel Corp, Chief Operating Officer says “We were up against some outstanding companies this year and are delighted to have won the ‘Best Company to Work for’ award. This achievement highlights all of the hard work that has been undertaken by the whole Welcom team in making transformational changes to our business and culture. To receive the honour of being called a “World Class Employer” is testimony to how forward-thinking and innovative our organisation has become.”

Welcom Software won the ‘Best Company to Work For’ award for its commitment to train, motivate and empower its staff. Staff teams and managers work together in an open plan office environment to encourage accessibility and visibility and to help foster close relationships. All staff are encouraged to work closely together to present a united front ensuring the delivery of a consistent message and service.

Chief executive officer Nigel Welch said: "Investing in staff development, and empowering a workforce to contribute towards the success of a business, is something in which I have always believed passionately. It is an issue I take extremely seriously. While few would disagree that the most important part of a business is its people, many managers still neglect to appropriately train their staff
