The company won the Best Relaunch of an Existing Campaign award for its campaign
that was relaunched in January 2006 and has raised more than £700,000. The judges
said it had clear objectives and with a large, dispersed workforce had been effective
in bringing this together and integrating the scheme well with other forms of employee
fundraising.

 

 

Best Overall Campaign was won by Pertempt People Development which achieved a high
participation rate of 66 per cent of its workforce with very high donations per 
employee to a wide range of charities. Judges noted that payroll giving has become
part of the culture of the company and is promoted as fully as possible within the
group.

 

 

The Best New Scheme award went to Haymarket Media Group who, with Workplace Giving
UK managed to get a 28% sign up from its workforce of 1,200.

 

 

Other winners included Ecclesiastical Insurance Gorup, Marshalls plc and Home Retail
Group.

 

 

This is the first year of the awards which have been introduced in the 20th year
of payroll giving to recognise and reward employers with successful schemes and 
demonstrate best practice in their promotion to employees.
