For a second year running, we proudly secured a spot in the Escape the City top 100 organizations to escape to, this time in 20th place, standing alongside esteemed social enterprise giants such as Too Good To Go, Origin Coffee, Rude Health, FLOWN, City to Sea, HereWeFlo, and Finisterre. This recognition reaffirms our dedication to making a positive impact and fostering a flexible work environment.
Dom Jackman, Founder of Escape the City, sheds light on the significance of The Escape 100 campaign. He explains that in a job market still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic, job seekers face the challenge of finding opportunities that align with their values.
The Escape 100 ranking considers crucial metrics for job seekers in 2023. These metrics include an organization's commitment to saving the planet, caring for their people, and solving meaningful problems.
