Celebrating Excellence in Employment
In the buzzing commercial landscape of Greater Manchester, an array of organisations stand tall, earning recognition for their commendable employment practices. One such shining star is Datesand, a family-operated business situated in the heart of Stockport.
Datesand Makes The Cut
This year, Datesand has carved its name into two crucial categories at the Greater Manchester’s Good Employment Awards – Best for Employee Engagement (SME) and Best for Inclusion (SME). This recognition adds another feather to its already illustrious cap, as Datesand has been a pivotal contributor to the biotechnology sector since 1980. In fact, just last year, the company clinched the coveted Best for Health and Wellbeing title.
The Director’s Delight
Expressing her elation over this honour, Claire Wood, the Director of Datesand stated, “Our team is truly thrilled to be shortlisted for both Best for Employee Engagement and Best for Inclusion at the Good Employment Charter Awards. We believe that every individual’s voice contributes to our success story. This recognition makes us incredibly proud and motivates us to continue striving to be the best employer by always putting our people first!”
