Most people can name at least three positive aspects that make the company that employs them a good place to work, with ‘friendly people’ topping the list, analysis has found.

New research by Ciphr showed that the majority (85 per cent) of the 1,006 Brits polled can list at least three advantages of working for their employer.

The respondents were asked to share why they think their organisation is a good place to work, with an option to offer an opposing view available for those who did not want to endorse their employer as a good place to work.
