What are the Employee Experience Awards?

This awards event is a prestigious celebration of businesses who have gone above and beyond when it comes to delivering an excellent employee experience.

Every category is assessed by independent judges with backgrounds in a wide range of fields, including business development, UX, operations management, HR, and career coaching.

Navigating the Pandemic

In March 2020, like so many businesses, GIMO was faced with the sudden upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the obstacles, we adjusted well to these abrupt changes and smoothly made the transition to working remotely.

It became very clear in this challenging time that protecting the wellbeing, both in terms of physical and mental health, was of utmost importance for our business to continue to thrive.

The Employee Assistance Programme is an HR initiative dedicated to helping vulnerable employees, keeping them engaged and supporting them so that their health came first before professional duties. We’re proud to say that our workforce have been resilient and continued to produce high quality work they’re known for.

An Outstanding Employee Experience

The greatest stakeholders of any business are the ones in the driving seat. It’s simple: happy employees mean a more productive, stable company. That’s why GIMO puts employee satisfaction to the fore of every decision, ensuring that they are happy and healthy through various approaches:

• Bringing vital office energy to the virtual workplace to keep remote employees and distributed teams engaged, excited and productive.
• Offering a blend of practical and emotional support to equip people with the tools they need to work safely and successfully from home, which paved the way for a confident and Covid-secure return to the office between lockdowns.
• Unveiling a superlative package of care, offering real-time reassurance and demonstrating that we value our people as members of a strong organisation that will get through the crisis and emerge stronger.
• Serving up a menu of virtual and interactive entertainment as diverse as our employees. From poker tournaments, cooking, fitness, yoga and meditation classes to themed quizzes, photo, Pictionary and fancy dress competitions, celebrating national events like Dress up your Pet Day and Black History Month, there’s something for everyone.

What Are Our Employees Saying?

Our Glassdoor rating is well above the average at 4.3 stars, with many happy employees leaving 5-star reviews, highlighting our exceptional work-from-home support and flexible working system that prioritises wellbeing and safety.

With our reputation galvanised, we’ve welcomed many new starters to the business this past year, making our diverse and multi-talented workforce as strong as ever.

As we continue to manoeuvre these uncertain times and tough market conditions, GIMO is optimistic for the future and that of our employees. In light of To be nominated as the best company to work for is one of our greatest achievements to date.
