Virtus Consult Director Jan Ponsford commented: “The success of our business depends on the strong relationships we build with our clients and as a business we understand that our people are our greatest asset.
“Since we started the business in 2006, we have worked hard to develop an engaging workplace, where everyone can reach their full potential in a collaborative and supportive environment.
“But until your practices are measured against the latest workplace trends, essential skills and effective structures, it’s difficult to know if you’re doing the right things or making the right decisions.
“The assessor received excellent responses to the online assessment undertaken by our 21-strong team, who rated the business across 27 themes, organised around 9 key indicators of high performance.
“It was satisfying to see our employees rate the management team’s efforts so highly, recognising our commitment to sharing our vision for the future of Virtus Consult.
“We build strong relationships with all our clients, based on our three guiding principles of honesty, integrity and professionalism in all our dealings. So, it should be no surprise that mirroring this approach in they way we lead and mange our people should deliver such positive results.
“Virtus Consult has an ambitious growth plan and recognising everyone wants to play their part in shaping our future, with a hunger to be involved, demonstrates our vision is not just achievable, but shared by those we expect to help us deliver it.”
