Internet giant Google was today named the UK's best place to work after a study found high retention rates and strong competition for jobs at the company.

The award, made by the Great Place to Work Institute research group, followed surveys of workers in 4,000 organisations around the world employing 1.5m staff, including 30,000 in the UK.

The study found that Google workers were each given a bicycle last year to help improve their fitness and regularly played table football games as a part of team bonding process.

Williams Johnson Mota, the institute's business development manager, said: "Google exemplifies what it means to be a great place to work. The company balances a dynamic culture with a commitment to business excellence.

"It has instigated policies and procedures that support all aspects of its employees' lives.

"Employees have the space to develop a unique working environment and culture, which is one reason vacancies at the organisation are consistently oversubscribed and its retention rates remain amongst the highest in the sector."

今天公布的一项研究显示，互联网巨头谷歌(Google)是英国的最佳雇主，该公司的员工留任率很高，而应聘者对该公司工作岗位的竞争非常激烈。

在颁布这一奖项之前，最佳雇主学会(Great Place to Work Institute)对全球4000家组织的员工进行了调查。这些组织总共雇用150万员工，其中有3万在英国。

研究发现，谷歌员工去年每人得到了一辆自行车，以改善他们的健康。作为团队融合手段之一，他们还定期举行桌上足球比赛。

最佳雇主学会的业务开发经理威廉姆斯•约翰逊•莫塔(Williams Johnson Mota)表示："谷歌的例子说明了什么是最佳雇主。该公司在富于动感的文化与业务优秀承诺之间实现了平衡。"

"它采取各种政策和手段，对员工生活的各个方面给予支持。"

"员工有了自由的空间，能够发展一种独一无二的工作环境和文化。这是该公司的职位空缺一直竞争激烈、而员工留任率一直位居行业上游的一个原因。"
