RENAISSANCE PERSONNEL EMPLOYS nurses and healthcare assistants to work for clients in public and private health organisations, social care, in people's homes, and even escorting patients abroad. Regardless of any politics surrounding health, it asserts: "There is value in maintaining positive attitudes." The employees agree, voting the London-based business into the top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For list for the first time this year. The firm specialises in mental health support and makes sure the wellbeing of staff doesn't suffer due to work, a 91% positive score and a top 10 result. Line managers offer a listening ear and so does managing director Dennis Mawadzi, a qualified mental health nurse (78%). The company, which promises that "whatever the weather, we will find staff to cover", makes the world a better place (86%, a top 10 ranking) and its first value is that "everyone, including patients, nurses, cleaners, and clients deserves respect and a service that makes a positive difference to their life". It sounds exhausting, but thankfully it isn't (62%). The health of clients is a priority, and so is the good care of the workforce, who rank Renaissance in the top three for low levels of work-related stress (92%). renaissancepersonnel.co.uk
