Best Workplaces for Wellbeing 2024
We’re proud to announce that we have been named number 15 in the Medium business category for the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™. This achievement is particularly special as we are the highest-ranked healthcare company on the list by a considerable margin, with the next best coming in at number 70.
The Best Workplaces for Wellbeing list focuses on employees’ holistic experiences of wellbeing at work, including their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, social support, job satisfaction, and financial security, to reveal the best workplaces for wellbeing in the UK.
Our inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges our commitment to create a consistently positive employee experience, to foster cultures that are proven to drive business, improve lives, and better society.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing List, Great Place To Work® reviewed our culture, benefits, approach to leadership and development, alongside anonymous responses from our employees. They then used these data insights to benchmark our company’s employee value proposition against the culture our employees actually experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall our team highly commends our dedication to improve and grow our internal culture across our business.
Ian Willis, CEO and Founder had this to say about the achievement:
“This award holds special meaning for me personally. The care sector often faces criticism regarding how carers are treated, and when I founded Abney & Baker, I was determined to build a better environment for our carers. I wanted to ensure that those who go to extraordinary lengths to support others feel equally supported themselves.
Thank you to each and every one of our team for their hard work, passion, and dedication. Let’s continue to put the care into homecare and strive to make Abney & Baker an even better place to work. Here’s to more successes and a bright future ahead!”
This recognition is a true testament to our unwavering commitment to fostering a supportive and enriching workplace. The past 12 months have been remarkable for the company in terms of awards and accolades. Last November, we celebrated winning the Best Employer Award at the Bath Life Awards. This year, we were ranked 34th among the Best Workplaces in the UK and achieved an impressive 27th place for Employee Development. And now, being named 15th for Employee Wellbeing further underscores our dedication to creating an outstanding work environment.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says:
“Wellbeing, engagement, and trust between employees are critical ingredients to successful workplace culture. Now in our third year of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ list, we’re able to showcase the leading UK organisations providing environments conducive to outstanding psychological, physical, financial and social wellbeing. It’s no secret that by ensuring employees feel genuinely trusted and cared for, they are much healthier, productive and committed to the mission and purpose of the organisation. Congratulations to Abney & Baker for making this prestigious list!”
We’re so proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place To Work® has provided us with to build on our culture and employee satisfaction. We hope to take this forward and keep working towards nurturing a workplace where every member feels seen and heard.
Winning the “Best Workplace for Wellbeing 2024” award is a testament to our incredible team. We are deeply thankful for their dedication, positivity, and hard work, which make Abney and Baker a truly special place to work and grow.
