Changing jobs?  Small and Medium-sized Enterprises offer many rewards

On Sunday 2nd March The Sunday Times released its annual report on the Top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For.

Ambitious corporate professionals may wonder what working in a small business can offer, but it would be good to remember that the term SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) covers organisations employing up to 249 staff.   In a business of this size, not only can you progress quickly as there is less fierce competition for positions, but many offer real benefits to work within a company where you can make a difference.

This is clearly demonstrated in the survey, which shows that ‘there is not a single question in 66 on which the SMEs score worse than the mid-sized companies.  There remains a gulf between the performance of the 100 Best Small Companies to Work For and the 100 Best Companies to Work For.’  Companies were judged on Leadership, Wellbeing, Belonging, Giving Back and Personal Growth.

The report on larger companies is published in next week’s Sunday Times.
