National employers awards for Churchill Retirement Living

Churchill Retirement Living has just been given second place in the influential The Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For list, and presented with a Wellbeing award for looking after its employees.

Chairman and chief executive officer Spencer McCarthy was one of 30 of the Churchill team (where the workforce is formed of ‘Colleagues’) attending the 1,500-strong gala dinner, including onsite and offsite staff from around the country. It is the only housebuilder to make the list.

It’s the company’s best performance in these national awards, which are based on an anonymous company-wide survey of eight topics including leadership, wellbeing and personal development, together with the views of an independent judging panel on policies, processes and facilities. Churchill has spent eight years in the Top 100 and took fourth place last year. It has maintained its 3 Star accreditation from Best Companies – the top accolade for excellence in employee engagement – and described as an “extraordinary place to work”.

McCarthy said: “To be named the second best company in the country to work for is a fantastic accolade and something every single member of the team can be proud of. I’ve always believed in the importance of looking after my team and treating them well, so it was great to have that recognised with a special award for wellbeing. The culture of any company is its lifeblood, and I believe that happy and motivated Colleagues are the key to Churchill’s continued success.”

Jonathan Austin, founder and CEO of Best Companies, said “I would like to congratulate Spencer, Clinton and the Churchill team on their achievement. Best Companies have been producing the Accreditation standard since 2006 to acknowledge excellence in the workplace. Organisations like Churchill have continued to focus on their Colleagues and have been rewarded with an engaged workforce who tell us that this is a best company to work for.”
