System C wins Sunday Times Top 100 Award

System CSystem C has been named one of the top 100 companies to work for in the UK. The software and services company won a place in the 2010 Sunday Times Best 100 Companies to Work For survey, published in the Sunday Times this weekend. The newspaper bills the survey as a showcase for "dynamic, effective and highly engaged workplaces".

It is the third time System C has won a Best Companies award.

"We are delighted to be recognised - and to be ranked favourably alongside the likes of PricewaterhouseCoopers and Microsoft," said Ian Denley, chief executive of System C. "System C's rapid growth over the last three years means it is judged for the first time as a medium-sized company, and has had the challenge of competing against large household names."

The Sunday Times highlighted System C's low staff turnover - three times lower than the norm for the IT industry - as a particular achievement. The paper cited System C's strong leadership, its good managers and effective internal communications as key strengths. It also noted that staff felt that the company successfully promoted personal growth.

"The experience, expertise and commitment of our employees are the bedrock of our success as a supplier of software and services to the NHS," Denley said.

The firm's 400 employees are united in their passion for using IT to help drive up care and efficiency in health and social care, he explained. "Our HR effort is directed at nurturing their talents and providing them with a satisfying job."

System C faces some unique challenges. Over half its employees are based outside System C offices and work under pressure in a safety critical environment. To win this award under these circumstances is a significant achievement.

The findings are based on a 70-question anonymous survey of staff and a separate survey of the company.

System C was ranked 52nd in the medium sized companies category (250 to 4,999 employees).
