Well done on your submission. I loved reading it! I think your culture and purpose thread through your business in every aspect and it’s brilliant to see that you’re not stopping there – there’s more in the pipeline. The barriers in educations and employment are far to frequent, and it takes special businesses to stand out and challenge this. Well done, keep up the great work.

Brain in Hand is clearly investing in its purpose, culture and employee experience. As a smaller organisation it has made strides in all of these areas. I was particularly impressed by how it is living its purpose through its talent strategy and also the way it actively creates the right support and experience for its people, especially the ‘getting to know you framework’ and ‘work with me’ profiles – these build inclusion, collaboration and belonging.
