Report: Employers in the UK 2016 What makes a company an employer of choice? Details for more than 950 employers in the UK based on over 15,000 interviews

In association with

Sample

Dear reader,

After a period of relatively high unemployment following the financial crisis, the UK

labour market is showing signs of recovery. Since 2012 the employment rate has

been increasing and for the time period August to October 2015 it reached a

record high of 73.9%. In 2015 about half a million more people were employed

than in the previous year. Wage growth has only recently started to pick up,

showing an increase of +2.9% from 2014 to 2015(1).

Competition in the labour market is increasing and everyone is looking to gain a

competitive edge in the race to attract and more importantly retain top talent. The

latest generation of labour market entrants are more willing to change jobs to find

a perfect fit than ever before.

In this context, a number of questions are particularly important for UK employers:

How do I compare to other employers on the job market? How can I build a

better reputation, conduct better practices within my company, and

ultimately attract and retain the best candidates?

That is why Statista.com, in partnership with Bloomberg, decided to ask those who

know best: UK employees. In a survey of over 15,000 UK employees working for

large national firms, divisions of international companies, or institutions (including

hospitals and government organisations) respondents were asked to rate 30 work

related attributes grouped in terms of atmosphere, remuneration, diversity etc. and

most importantly were asked this particular question:

“On a scale of 0-10, how likely would you be to recommend your employer to

someone?”

Thanks to the results of this survey, conducted anonymously via online access

panels and not via the employers, we have established the UK’s 400 best

employers across 25 industry sectors(3).

(2) Companies operating in arms manufacturing and the banking & financial industry were excluded

This report contains concrete results on over 950 employers surveyed (i.e. those

employing more than 500 employees in the UK). The top 400 employers have

been awarded a “Best UK Employer 2016” certificate, while a score for over 550

others has been calculated.

Throughout the report, you will discover your company’s strengths and

weaknesses, as well as those of your competitors; in each of the 25 industry

sectors, we have identified the most important players and established an

average. The outcome of the survey in terms of employee’s perception has been

interpreted in detail through 6 drivers that determine an employer’s

attractiveness. Overall, you will learn possible optimization points and insights

about over 950 employer brands.

We hope you will enjoy reading this report !

companies and institutions employing more than 500 employees in the UK

Calculation of the employers score: Combination of direct and

indirect scores

6

Over 950 employers have been attributed a score, based on the two main elements below:

˃ The participants have also been asked if there are employers they

would recommend to their acquaintances, or, on the contrary, if

there are employers they would not recommend their

acquaintances to work for.

˃ In order to measure the willingness to recommend one‘s own

employer, the following question has been asked: „On a scale of 0

to 10, how likely is it that you would recommend your

employer to a friend or family member?” (0: I wouldn’t

recommend my employer under any circumstances, 10: I would

definitely recommend my employer).

1. Direct score: willingness to recommend one’s own employer

Participant Participant‘s employer Participant

Employer 1

…

Employer 2

Employer X

The results of these two elements have been combined to calculate a final score for over 950 employers in the UK, with a greater weight given to the

direct score, i.e. willingness of the participants to recommend their own employer.

2. Indirect score: willingness to recommend other employers

• In addition to the willingness to

recommend one‘s own employer,

each participant has evaluated

his/her employer on the basis of 25

criteria (items)

• Each criterion could be evaluated on

a scale from 1 („Strongly disagree“) to

5 („Strongly agree“)

• Using a statistical factor analysis(1),

6 drivers have been identified, each

comprising of several individual

criteria (items).

• Each driver provides a different

perspective of the employer, and

enables us to evaluate them based

on more generalised criteria, for

example Wage/Salary, Equality and

Diversity or Reputation.
