The Special Awards Great Place to Work ® Institute is recognizing five companies for extraordinary practices in five areas of the GiftWork Model 1 Inspiring leadership this is not just a job Winner Creativ Company (Denmark) Runner Up IKEA Group (Poland) Runner Up Liberty Seguros (Portugal) The winner of this year’s Great Place to Work® Special Award for “Inspiring” is Creativ Company, a retailer of art supplies based in Denmark. This award is given to a company that fosters a strong sense of pride across the organization and helps employees feel that their work is “more than just a job.”Although it is relatively small, with only 95 employees, Creativ Company has managed to make a difference, not only for its own employees, but also for socially marginalized groups in society, including people who suffer from physical or mental disabilities, such as industrial injuries, drug addiction, or eating disorders. One employee – a former drug addict – told a newspaper, “This place is special. You are not allowed to hide and give up when something is difficult. The ones who would rather hide are those most needed to be seen. Here, you are seen and accepted for who you are. You just have to behave. That is a simple and fair demand. Besides becoming clean, this job is the largest success I have experienced in my life.” 2 Speaking the truth credible communication Winner Unicarepharmacy (Ireland) Runner Up 3M Deutschland (Germany) Runner Up Bristol-Myers Squibb (Greece) Unicarepharmacy has been forced to freeze salaries for its roughly 850 employees twice in two years. Yet throughout these difficult times, the company’s leaders did not isolate themselves, but rather they reached out to their “colleagues,” as the company’s employees are known, to make sure that people understood what was happening – and help them understand how they could pitch in to help avoid layoffs. The result? More than nine out of ten Unicarepharmacy employees responding to the Great Place to Work ® Trust Index © Survey this year agreed that “management would lay people off only as a last resort” – and as of October 2009, the company had reached 97% of its “Plan A” targets (‘Plan A’ would “protect... colleagues’ job security and avoid having to pursue an alternative route). For outstanding communication practices during this trying period, Unicarepharmacy is this year’s recipient of the Great Place to Work ® Special Award for “Speaking,” which recognizes a European company that excels in communicating. Thank you! The Great Place to Work ® Institute is so grateful for the time and effort that people have dedicated to making the European Award and Conference events in Madrid a great success. We thank the speakers from the following companies: • NetApp • Vodafone Spain • Nordea Life & Pension • ORMIT • IKEA Spain • Admiral Group • High Performance Sport • noventum consulting • Telefónica International And a special Thank You to our sponsor of a Workplace Culture Session NetApp. 17 twsm — GPTW Special Issue 2010
