Creating an exceptional, high performing workplace is the ultimate goal of any company. Unfailingly, a working environment wherein employees feel recognised, valued and trusted, assists in improving employee retention and productivity, minimise staff turnover while continuously enabling the employer to identify the real issues that need to be addressed. However, short of having psychic powers, improving employee wellbeing and engagement at the workplace and consequently helping to build and sustain business performance, is not, despite the best of intentions, always as straightforward as one might think.
Knowing exactly which issues need to be addressed at all times might seem like a tall order, but it is this knowledge that is the key to ongoing communication between employer and employee and the creation and upkeep of a healthy workplace environment. But how to go about obtaining this insight into the wellbeing of your employees? How is your company faring in sustaining a flourishing environment, which encourages creativity and productivity?

To this end, iGaming Idol is offering iGaming companies in Malta the unprecedented opportunity to gauge their company through the eyes of their workforce, as well as how they finally measure up to other rival organisations.
This year iGaming Idol has partnered with BLM (Business Leaders Malta) offering all iGaming companies the chance to take part in an online based employee survey, focusing entirely on employee well-being. Participating companies will send out the survey to their employees, who will answer the 16 questions anonymously. The company will then get the final report of the results enabling them to benchmark their employees’ well-being, as well as a map charting how they compare to other similar companies in the industry. While this allows the company to gauge how it is proceeding in the industry, whether it is doing better or worse than average, due to the protection of the other companies’ privacy, their names will not be disclosed. The survey carries a nominal charge of only a €300 administrative fee, which, considering the exclusive insight into how your employees’ think and feel, is quite an insignificant amount indeed.
But of course, the highest scoring companies within three different categories (small, medium or large organisation) deserve to be recognised! During the upcoming iGaming Idol Awards, to be held at The Hilton Malta on the 26th September, the award for “Best Employer” will this year be split into three categories. Best Small Organisation award will cater for companies which employ 20-50 employees, Best Medium Organisation award is intended for organisations which employ between 51-250 employees, while the Best Large Organisation prize will award the highest scoring company which employs more than 251 employees.
Ultimately, the iGaming Idol’s concept was created to promote greater employer initiatives, recognise the champion companies which foster healthy working environments and put employees at the heart of their organisation. We believe that this survey is an essential tool to empower companies within the whole industry, to gain valuable knowledge as to how to improve their employer-employee relationships…An important tool which we aim to provide every year, making it that much easier for organisations to track their progress from one year to the next.
