NFU Mutual has today been named a winner of the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award for 2023 – an award which recognises organisations that put their people at the heart of their business strategy.
The rural insurer stands out for having received the Exceptional Workplace Award every year since its inauguration. It also received the forerunner to the Exceptional Workplace Award several years in a row.
Commenting on the award, Trisha Jones, HR director at NFU Mutual, said: “This is a wonderful accolade and we are delighted Gallup has yet again recognised that NFU Mutual is providing an environment of inclusivity where our people can thrive and achieve their full potential. From supporting our staff’s health and wellbeing, to championing their career progression, we’re passionate about being a great place to work for all our people.”
She noted that as a mutual insurer, NFU’s staff are motivated to deliver “excellent outcomes” for members and customers, not shareholders. Jones added that the insurer will continue to give its people the tools to remain fully engaged and empowered to make a difference both professionally and personally.
In a Press release, Gallup said: “Winners of the Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award put their people’s engagement at the heart of their business strategy and create a workplace culture to match. In doing so, these organisations see returns in retention, engagement, increased productivity, improved wellbeing and organisational citizenship, better customer experiences, true organic growth, and higher revenue.
“While these business outcomes are impactful, the true impact of this award is creating a space where your people can thrive at work.”
