“It’s essential to have that conversation around best practice and improvement”

“Understanding how and why our business is one of the top career destinations for talent is one of the main reasons why these awards are so important,” said UK & Ireland HR Director, Leigh Lafever-Ayer.

“It’s essential to have that conversation around best practice and improvement,” Leigh told DRIVE. “What are graduates looking for? What makes a great internship? How can we make our business appealing to people from all different backgrounds? We want to make sure that we’re listening and learning and continuing to offer the best experience for our employees and future talent.”

Just in the UK and Republic of Ireland, Enterprise Mobility has featured in a dazzling list of best employers and best practice high achievers:
