Local firm among best places to work

FARMEYE, the Monksland-based agtech company, has been listed among the ‘The Sunday Times Best Places to Work’.

The Sunday newspaper, in partnership with WorkL, the employee experience platform, recently highlighted 35 employers across the country that recruit and retain top talent along with industry-leading best practices in areas such as engagement, wellbeing and job satisfaction.

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work survey uses 26 questions from WorkL’s employee engagement survey, developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties to monitor employee engagement, wellbeing and discretionary effort in the workplace. To be successfully accredited as a Sunday Times Best Place to Work, organisations must achieve a minimum 70% overall engagement score.

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work aims to highlight businesses where individuals feel they have more control over their work life balance, wellbeing and environment and, as a result of this, take more responsibility for the success of their employer.
