Gleeds secures ‘Best Workplaces for Consulting & Professional Services’ status
Andy Ellis
The international property and construction consultancy Gleeds has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services by Great Place To Work UK for the fourth consecutive year.
In the list published by Great Place to Work on 3 September, the consultancy was among the top 25 large and super large organisations.
The Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services list is formed using anonymous feedback from employees about their experiences in workplaces.
This year, Gleeds launched its Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and shared its first Fairness, Inclusion and Respect report.
To create the list, Great Place To Work UK administered its research-backed Trust Index survey and examined the feedback from consulting and professional services employees based in the UK.
The surveys asked people to discuss how their company supports their work-life balance, fulfilment, job contentment, psychological safety and financial security. An assessment of how successfully the organisation was able to provide consistency in their employee experience within all departments and seniority positions was also included in the evaluations.
Andy Ellis, UK managing director, said: “Being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services for a fourth time is an achievement we’re enormously proud of.
“We’ve worked hard to develop a culture in which everyone feels valued, supported and inspired and the introduction of our EVP has been central to cementing that.”
Benedict Gautrey, managing director of Great Place To Work UK, said: “The consulting and professional services sector continues to evolve rapidly, with organisations adapting to new technologies and changing client demands.
“In this environment, the very best workplaces recognise that supporting their people through periods of change is essential.”
Gautrey added: “Feedback from employees highlights the importance of transparent leadership, open communication, and involving people in decisions that affect them.”
