How does this all work? The application process is straightforward and insightful, working with research partners, Part + Sum, for a methodology specifically made for creative teams. This consists of two parts:
- A short employer survey on current policies, practices and general industry sentiment.
- An anonymous employee survey about your company’s culture, craft and leadership.
The team will collate results and announce the winner in October. Full application details can be found here.
This year, we’re also offering optional reports for those who want to benchmark their business, whether or not you win:
- Comprehensive Report: covering pay, benefits, working hours and policies across all participating creative companies and what employees prioritise.
- Individual Evaluation Framework Report: anonymised feedback from your own employees on how your company measures up with organisations of a similar size.
If you’ve completed the application process entirely for both Part 1 and Part 2, you get a Comprehensive Report for free and Individual Evaluation Framework Report for your own team’s insights at a nominal admin fee of £99.
Both reports will be available to purchase separately and can provide valuable insight whether you enter or not. You will be charged a higher fee if purchased outside of the application cohort. You must be a UK based company operating for over a year and have a total headcount of ten. Entry is completely free.
