#1 Best Workplace for Women™
We are thrilled to announce that Abney & Baker has been recognised as the number one medium-sized company on the Great Place to Work® prestigious 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™.
The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List is made up of employers whose team have told Great Place To Work® UK they work for a place that is inclusive and equitable for all. The 330 companies on the list are committed to ensuring a reasonable balance of women and men across the organisation; removing barriers to women’s career advancement; and creating workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.
This recognition marks the fourth time that Abney & Baker has been celebrated by Great Place to Work®, following previous rankings on their Best Workplaces™, Best Workplace for Wellbeing™, and Best Workplace for Development™ lists. Additionally, the company was honoured with the Bath Life Best Employer Award earlier this year, further cementing its reputation as a standout employer in the region.
Ian Willis, Founder & CEO says:
“Being ranked number one in the list of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women 2024 means so much to us at Abney & Baker because it shows that care can be a great place to work. We’ve always believed that by giving our team better pay, benefits, and working conditions, was the right thing to do and the best way to build a successful business. To be recognised on a national level, and especially as number one, really challenges the negative narrative around working in care. We’re thrilled to be showing that it’s possible to build a company in this sector where women feel valued and supported.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says:
“Workplaces are only great if they’re great for all employees. For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List has been paving the way by tackling discrimination, removing barriers to women’s advancement in their careers, and challenging taboos around subjects like the menopause, and endometriosis. Importantly, each of the companies on the list have been commended by their own female employees through their anonymous feedback that told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities. It’s fantastic to once again see a wide spread of sectors and organisational sizes appearing on our Best Workplaces for Women™ List this year – congratulations to all!”
