A STRONG FOCUS on team-building, team-working and investing in staff and their development makes Chiltern District Council a great place to work. Employees think the organisation provides an excellent service (a positive score of 79%), say colleagues go out of their way to help (77%) and care a lot about each other (again 77%). With few disruptive people in their teams (71%, the fourth highest score among small bodies on this), workers feel a strong sense of family (70%). The council, based in Amersham in Buckinghamshire, scores particularly well in our Wellbeing category, ranking 19th overall among the 75 organisations of all sizes in this list. www.chiltern.gov.uk
