Focus on staff wellbeing earns Bishop Fleming Awards
Regional accountancy firm Bishop Fleming, which has its largest office in Bristol, has been named Business of the Year at the prestigious British Chambers of Commerce Awards.
The Workplace Wellbeing Award recognises Bishop Fleming’s wellbeing strategy, which is aimed at improving the working environment across its seven offices and investing in its employees’ health and wellbeing.
The strategy was designed and implemented by the firm’s Bright Futures initiative, which encourages its young talent from across its offices to work on a different project each year.
The firm said it underpinned its belief that having fit, healthy and happy employees provides a better client service and attracts and retains the best people.
Bishop Fleming chair Ian Smith said: “We are so incredibly proud to have won Business of The Year and the Workplace Wellbeing awards. The double-win speaks volumes about the people and culture we have here at Bishop Fleming.
Bishop Fleming, whose offices are spread across the South West and Midlands, is ranked 30th in the UK’s national league table of accountancy firms and also listed in The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For in 2019.
