HR Awards
The GI.biz Best Places To Work Awards 2024 crowned 26 game companies for their excellence in supporting their staff, based on a two survey system, one for the employer to fill in (worth 20% of the score) and the other for employees (80% of the score).
There were three categories – large, mid-sized, and small companies, with WarDog one of only 11 companies across the UK to receive such recognition and the only Scottish games company to make the winners list.
Alongside the Best Places to Work Awards 2024, GamesIndustry.biz also announced the winners of six special awards designed to highlight excellent work from companies in specific areas such as combating climate change, supporting charities, ensuring a healthy workforce, encouraging diversity, and working with educators.
