Global Maritime is delighted to have been recognised as a 5 Star Employer by WorkBuzz; an honour based upon positive employee feedback received through an independent employee engagement survey.

The WorkBuzz 5-Star Employer is awarded to employers who are exceeding industry benchmarks for employee experience, with the award based on engagement scores, response rates and survey frequency. Among the companies participating in the 5 Star Employer Award programme, only 5% achieved the 5-Star status.

This included their views on leadership, organisational direction, line manager effectiveness, the strength of teamwork, and how empowered they feel to fulfil their roles. With an impressive 85% engagement score, Global Maritime demonstrated high levels of employee engagement compared to industry standards.

Survey highlights include:

  • 89% of employees are proud to work for Global Maritime
  • 85% would recommend Global Maritime as a great place to work
  • 89% said that colleague and team collaboration was excellent
  • 89% feel encouraged to share new or better ways of doing things
  • 84% said that their job provides the opportunity to learn and develop new skills

At Global Maritime, we recognise the importance of obtaining employee engagement and wellbeing feedback, providing valuable insight into what matters most to our employees. The annual survey results contribute to the support we provide to our employees, whilst strengthening our company culture and continuously improving our services.

Jonny Logan, CEO at Global Maritime, expressed his sincere appreciation for the dedication and commitment shown by the entire team in helping the company achieve this recognition, “We are absolutely delighted to receive the 5-Star Employer award from WorkBuzz, and I could not be prouder of our incredible team. This award is a testament to the hard work and passion each and every one of our employees brings to the table and is also to the efforts made by our team to act on the results of previous surveys and continually improve the working environment and culture in the company. At Global Maritime, we have always believed that our people are our greatest asset, and this recognition validates the supportive, collaborative and empowering culture we’ve worked so hard to build. A huge thank you to all our colleagues for their continued commitment to excellence, to each other and to GM.”

Steven Frost, CEO of WorkBuzz commented: “At WorkBuzz we believe that exceptional employee experience deserves to be recognised and celebrated. Our five-star awards stand out because they are not a branding exercise. The Awards have a data-driven criteria and the results are powerful because they come straight from the horse’s mouth – the actual employees of each company who enter. This award recognises the best workplace cultures where employees are proud to work, are motivated to do more, and want to stay for the foreseeable future. It is a pleasure to partner with an organisation who truly care about their employee’s experience and have worked hard to ensure they create a culture where their people can thrive.”
