They responded and adapted quickly to the ever-changing situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges, it was business as usual and Top Employers were held to the same high standards as with every previous year, Plink said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also saw great opportunities and positive changes, including increased focus on well-being, a greater need work-life balance, and a reduction in time spent commuting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year,\u00a016\u00a0organisations\u00a0were successfully certified as\u00a0leaders in HR\u00a0for their outstanding strategies and people practices\u00a0in at least 20
