Judges from Great Place to Work® had this to say on Hays’s success. “Hays' diverse and dynamic culture is one borne from authentic caring leadership coupled with employees' fired-up passion and desire to do the best work of their career. 'Work hard, play hard, collaborate to win, learn to grow as individuals and ultimately, we win together.' - this appears to be the calling card of all at Hays. Transparency, open feedback and immediate action is the norm, and regardless of tenure or position, everyone has a voice at Hays. For being a workplace where employees feel that they are set up for success, for the family culture that unites all to feel that 'we are in this together', we at GPTW agree that Hays is truly one of the Best Workplaces of 2018!”
