Hotcourses wants to help people by means of education, starting with its 90 employees. One of the perks at this educational information provider is a £200 annual allowance to pursue a hobby. Hotcourses, based in London, gets its best scores for management. Staff say their boss is open and honest (an 87% positive score), supportive (84%) and caring (83%). The Hotcourses Foundation helps teach Aids orphans in Africa and, closer to home, offers work placements for people with disabilities. Staff feel the company gives back to its community (62%). It also supports the environment (77%) and, in the office, it sometimes quite literally knocks down walls to enable managers to work closely with staff.
