Best Practice & Ethics
Briefs .....
Financial and professional services firms performed well in
the recent Sunday Times' ranking of
the best large
companies to work for in the UK. US financial giants
Goldman Sachs and
Morgan Stanley took the first and
third spots while KPMG was ranked at number
two. Of the other top four accounting firms, Ernst &
Young was placed at number four, Deloitte
at number 6 and PricewaterhouseCoopers at
number eight. KPMG said this was the third consecutive year it was in the top
three of best places to work for in the UK and this year also won a special
award for the amount the company puts back into society through charitable
donations and volunteering by staff.
The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) has unveiled its
annual list of the US’ top businesses for offering equal access to corporate
contracts for women’s business enterprises. Among the companies being recognised
are Bank of America,
BellSouth,
IBM, PepsiCo, Pfizer,
Shell, TXU and
UPS. TXU
and UPS have been recognised in each of the eight years since the awards
inception, while Bank of America and Shell have both been recognised five times.
Linda Denny, WBENC interim president, said this “consistency of culture
demonstrates that once a company embeds bets practices in its organization and
culture, it can sustain and enhance its success year after year”.
