The Escape 100 campaign was started by Escape the City. While on their mission to help 1,000,000 quit their corporate jobs and find work that matters to them and the world, they began to wonder: what actually makes an organisation different, forward-thinking, and impactful? They came up with a scoring system of 6 criteria (Impact, People, Mission, Planet, Innovation and B-Corp) to rank companies, including anonymous employee reviews - and ‘The Escape 100’ was born.
This campaign comes at a key moment in working history. Since the pandemic started, employees all over the world have been given time to think about what really matters to them, and are increasingly prioritising finding new meaningful, flexible and forward-thinking work environments (as reported by The Times). In Escape the City’s recent survey of 1500 job-seekers, 89% want a career with a clear sense of purpose (up from 71% in 2015), with 73% saying that their reflection time during the pandemic has made them reevaluate their path. Furthermore, for 74% of professionals a flexible working location is the primary barometer they use when choosing a new role.
Dom Jackman, Founder of Escape the City, explained further: “The job market is still dealing with the impact of the pandemic, and jobseekers will have to work harder than ever to find opportunities that align with their values. This list has been designed to rank organisations on the metrics that really matter. What are they doing to save our planet? How do they look after their people? What problems are they solving? These are all things that jobseekers want to know in 2023, and we hope this list helps talented people discover interesting opportunities and organisations that they might not have found otherwise.”
Matchable’s Founder + CEO, Wai Foong Ng, commented on what the campaign means to the company:
“SO excited to make the Escape Top 100 for 3 years running! When I started Matchable 4 years ago, I would always look up to the companies that were listed there as real role models in terms of great places to work that were impactful for people and planet, and genuinely cared about their teams. To be part of the list ourselves is always a real honour and to be listed alongside incredible companies like TooGoodToGo, Rude Health, and Beam - always blows my mind!! Thank you so much Escape the City!”.
Misperi, our Account Manager here at Matchable, commented:
“I’ve never worked at a company as flexible as Matchable! You decide when, how and where you want to work! Our team comprises a mix of individuals who choose to work at the office and those who work remotely. What truly matters to us is the output we deliver, ensuring that everyone can thrive in their own preferred work environment.”.
