Christians Against Poverty - Sunday Times "Best Small Company to Work For"
Christians Against Poverty (CAP), the winner of this year’s prestigious Sunday Times ‘Best Small Company to Work For’, has today announced that the secrets of its success will be available to organisations across the UK.
Far from playing its cards close to its chest, the charity, which specialises in debt counselling through a national network of church-based centres, has launched its first ‘Share the Secret’ Day. For one day only, companies from across the country can experience the work environment that has enabled the charity to win the national awards.
Matt Barlow, head of CAP UK, said: “Winning the award has been a fantastic achievement for us, as it shows our teams and managers are motivated to do an excellent job for our clients.
“Also, we have managed this within a rapidly growing and fast-paced environment as the charity has grown in 12 years from being a one-man operation to a national organisation with 65 local debt counselling centres across the UK.
“Whilst many would be tempted to safeguard their uniqueness and be cagey about what creates a dynamic work place, we’re happy to share our secrets with those who want to improve their own places of work.”
‘Share the Secret’ Day is on 20 May at CAP’s UK Headquarters, Jubilee Mill, in Bradford. Places will be limited to just 80 and the day will comprise seminars, talks and tours of the mill facility, with delegate’s fees being put back into the charity to continue its work with the poor across the UK.
Now in their sixth year, the ‘Best Companies’ awards are increasingly seen as the benchmark for good practice, employee satisfaction and career progression in the world. With employees anonymously assessing their own companies, the results provide a vital insight into the working environments of many organisations across all sectors in the UK.
With costs for attendance based on company turnover, the charity hopes the day will be accessible for companies of all sizes.
