Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP ("BLG") has been named ‘one to watch’ in the Best Companies to Work for Guide 2009.

The award is based on the Best Companies Index score, which is designed to measure employee engagement by analysing their responses to 70 questions across the following eight factors: ‘Leadership’, ‘Well Being’, ‘My Manager’, ‘My Team’, ‘My Company’, ‘Personal Growth’, ‘Giving Something Back’, and ‘Fair Deal’.

Jonathan Austin, founder and CEO of Best Companies, said: "I would like to congratulate BLG on its achievement. Our role at Best Companies is to set a rigorous benchmark so that organisations can become even better employers. This year it is encouraging to see that the number of companies entering the accreditation scheme for excellence in workplace engagement has grown by over twenty per cent."

BLG senior partner Simon Konsta said: "We are delighted to have been recognised as ‘one to watch’ in the Best Companies Guide, the only guide based entirely on employee feedback. We are entirely committed to providing a rewarding, stimulating, and flexible work environment to our staff and we value their feedback immensely. We are very pleased that our employees rate BLG as a great place to work."
