Quote from the top...

As a company, we’ve always been committed to employee engagement but over the past couple of years we’ve taken huge strides to improve it and that’s been proven in our B-Heard scores. In 2019 we created our employee engagement team which is a group of employees from across the business who work to make Daisy Communications an even better place to work. During the COVID-19 pandemic and despite having our entire workforce working from home, we went from a 1-star to 2-star accreditation which was testament to our employee engagement efforts throughout the national lock-down. We’re always listening to our employees and are actively improving life at Daisy Communications to ensure every single one of our employees feels valued, appreciated and part of the Daisy Communications family. We want our people to be the best versions of themselves and if we can contribute to that during their time working with us, we're keen to ensure there are development opportunities for all and are committed to seeing our people continuously grow.
