On this week's very special edition of the HR Grapevine podcast, our guest host Abigail Yeboah, Senior List & Organisational Trends Manager at Great Place To Work UK, talks us through what has been a phenomenal year for the Great Place To Work Awards, and what truly makes those featured on the list exceptional employers. 

For this podcast, Abigail is joined by Xanthe Watkins, Senior Consultant at Great Place To Work UK, Lisa Shaftesley, HR Director at Booking.com and Matt Wintle, Head of Talent Acquisition and Development at Admiral Group. 

The three guests offer unique insight into the organisations that make the list, why they're being celebrated for their hard work, and what it's like to officially be recognised.
