This year, HRD magazine asked a range of questions to employees, from their satisfaction with current remuneration through to leadership effectiveness within their organisation.

Importantly, these awards were voted on not by HR professionals themselves, but the people within their organisation.

Companies vying for the title of Employer of Choice represent a range of industries from banking to health, hospitality, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, professional services and more.

We’re delighted to announce that we were a winner in the 1000+ employees category and we performed particularly strongly in our commitment to gender equality in the workplace.

Amanda Fracaro, HR Director of Aspen Medical, said “Our Executive, senior and middle management teams have strong female representation. We don’t do positive discrimination, we promote and recruit based on attributes and experience. Our mantra is that our clients expect the best people to deliver healthcare so we only employ the best people. Gender does not come into it. Our team knows that. We are a company delivering healthcare solutions and this is based on best-in-class project management. With that in mind, many of our project managers are female and the GM of Operations is female.

“It’s about walking the walk, not just talking the talk. Our team genuinely believes that the company practices gender equality because they see it in action all around them every day, right across the business.”
