Simple Motivation

Shulmans was one of the finalists in the Best Employer Category in the Yorkshire Post Business Excellence Awards 2007. The chairman of the panel of judges, Dr David Spicer, Associate Dean at Bradford University School of Management, writing in an article in the HR Director magazine says:

"For the last two years I have led the team judging the region’s best company to work for, and have seen at first hand an incredible level of engagement with employees in the finalist companies. What stood out with all of them, regardless of their sector, was that employees felt
valued and were, therefore, motivated, and that this was something that comes about through activities beyond the basic provision of incentives and rewards.

"All these first-rate employers recognise that people are key drivers of any business and that there is a direct link between excellent people management, great client service and business performance. Any organisation or business wanting to bring about a culture of motivation
must first of all create a people-centred environment. You can see the indications of a great employer from the minute you walk through the door because the workplace will clearly show
that the firm values its employees and that they are key to the business."
