Last wednesday evening, i went to the awards dinner for the 100 Best Small Companies to work for, as one of two people representing Cougar Automation. We came 22nd, which was nice.

It was a fun evening, and also very informative – seeing what other companies do.

The principle is that we need to be a great place to work, so that we attract and retain great people, who then do great work for the client. Or something along those lines.

What was interesting was the number of charities, and not just as extra seats at the dinner cost around £250 each! I figure that is a sector where employees really have to be committed to their employer and believe in what they are doing. Othe strongly represented sectors were recruitment companies, training/consultancy companies and communication/media/publicity companies
