2007 TOP 50 section winners

1. Opportunity - CISCO
Cisco transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. They influence how the world develops. Cisco gives you the opportunity to work all over the world with many different nationalities and cultures.

2. Progressiveness - GOOGLE
Recruiting is a top priority for all at Google. Telecommuting, families in the canteen, enhanced maternity benefits, great health and dental insurance, gym subsidies, childcare vouchers, free onsite massages, free bikes, free food every day... Google believes work and play aren't exclusive.

3. Diversity - CITI
Citi isn't trying to be diverse - They are already are! Citi is a miniature United Nations where what counts is delivery rather than gender, race, age or anything else.

4. Connectivity - DELOITTE
Teleworking at Deloitte's is no problem. While banned in many companies, half of Deloitte employees use Facebook in innovative ways to connect with each other. Even the Senior Partners are blogging away!

5. Responsibility - McDONALD'S
The sheer number of awards and accolades speak for themselves. McDonald's truly gives back when it comes to the community. Nutrition to safety, football, world farming - McDonald's is certainly committed to saving the world!

2007 Where Women Want To Work TOP 50

The TOP 50 is not about organisations for women or jobs for the girls. Nor is the rise of women about the fall of men. The TOP 50 is about providing insightful information about 50 of the UK's largest and most progressive employers. Women can now research and compare organisations based on their own needs and interests before choosing where to work. Men often apply for careers based first on salary, second on the job, and third on the organisation. But women tend to look at the organisation and what's on offer first, job second, salary third. This is why Aurora launched the highly successful wheretowork.com that features the UK's most progressive organisations. The TOP 50 provides further information.
