The data that Devon Air Ambulance receives from Best Companies will help the charity to further explore what they do well and enable them to identify any areas for change, to ensure the organisation continues to create a great environment to work in.

The survey consists of several questions based on how employees are feeling about their workplace and showed positive results for DAA versus last year:

• Out of the Top 100 Companies in the Southwest – scored 41 (45 in 2022)
• Out of the Top 100 mid-sized companies in the whole of the UK – scored 71 (92 in 2022)
• Out of the Top 50 Charities in the whole of the UK – scored 14 (15 in 2022)

Kimberly Jones, Head of People, Talent & Culture at Devon Air Ambulance said:

‘Measuring our engagement is important to help us retain and attract exceptional people who help Devon Air Ambulance in its mission of transforming time-critical care through prevention, treatment and recovery for the people of Devon. The survey provides us with valuable feedback from staff to help us make positive improvements in the working environment and helps to ensure Devon Air Ambulance is a great place to work. We are very pleased to have improved in our sector rankings this year.’
