EDUCATION LEEDS IS responsible for supporting schools in the city and helping them to improve attendance and attainment. Employees care about providing a great service, returning a 95% positive score, a result bettered by only six mid-sized organisations. They also think it makes a difference to the world (70%) and say work is an important part of their life (77%, the sixth highest score on this question, see table below). Staff feel they can make a valuable contribution to the success of the organisation (77%) as well as a difference within it (73%). Work is stimulating (73%), say employees, who think chief executive Chris Edwards runs the organisation on sound moral principles (72%). Employees can take up to three paid days a year to help the local community. Workers say profit and budget concerns aren't the only things driving the organisation (65%) and they believe its support of worthy causes isn't driven by a desire for good publicity (57%). Both are top 10 scores. www.educationleeds.co.uk
