 People who say they work in a great organisation put it down to a knowledge that they know what's going on and how they fit into the bigger picture, and a sense that their contribution is valued and makes a difference. All of this adds up to a sense of opportunity, achievement and excitement.

Great places to work come in all sizes and are drawn from all sectors. They can be very different from each other, but they all seem to share a common culture:

   they achieve results by sharing the goals of the organisation with their people
 
 they involve everyone by sharing information and effort
 
 they develop people by sharing learning with everyone

Nobody can guarantee success and of course some organisations can do all these things and still fail because of factors outside their control. But the evidence demonstrates that involving and developing all your people leads to measurable benefits and sustained success. This culture of partnership with your people is good for your organisation.
