ENTERTAINMENT IS IN the blood of staff at this west London media company. UKTV has 10 channels, including Dave, Gold and Good Food. Work is an important part of life (an 83% positive score), say the 252 people on the payroll. Last year, employees took part in a team-building exercise to help them better understand themselves, their colleagues and how they worked together. Other initiatives include the Bank of Me programme, through which staff can explore how to manage their emotions in challenging situations and pick up tips on diet and sleep. Staff are encouraged to communicate face-to-face and say that people in their team go out of their way to help (81%) and are fun to work with (85%). Employees also take time to volunteer; some mentor students at local colleges and others read with schoolchildren. The firm raised £70,000 for good causes last year and staff say charitable activities are encouraged (92%, in 11th place). www.uktv.co.uk
