A number of companies in the South West and West Midlands have been recognised in the 2023 iteration of Great Place to Work’s UK’s Best Workplaces Listing.

For more than 40 years, Great Place to Work has been collecting data from employees on their workplaces to determine what makes them great.

The UK’s Best Workplaces is actually four lists, with separate rankings based on the size of the company.

The Coventry Building Society in Warwickshire is the highest ranking Super Large company from our regions to feature, returning to the list for the second year running.

Kirsty Bowen, Head of Colleague Experience at Coventry Building Society, said: “Our focus has been to build an even better workplace for our colleagues – one where they feel supported, inspired and able to fulfil their potential.

“We can only do this with the help of their feedback, so, while we’ve followed through on our action plans, we’ve also continued to listen and work together to create a positive colleague experience.”

Super Large (1000+ employees)

Large (251-1000 employees)

Medium (51-250)

Small (20 – 50 employees)

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK, said: "Being ranked a Best WorkplaceTM is a huge cause for celebration for any organisation.

"Best Workplaces are engaged in a constant process of asking, listening, learning and acting. Take a look at Coventry Building Society, for example – it was one of the organisations that was ranked a Best Workplace for the first time last year, and has repeated the achievement this year. The organisation has followed up on its action plans, while continuing to listen to employees and work together to create a positive experience."
