Self-employment technology specialist Wise is celebrating after being named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing.

Wise, based in Solihull town centre, is now a top-25 company on the prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing list which has been curated by employee satisfaction specialist, Great Place To Work.

The ranking was established using rigorous metrics and data from answers employees gave to questions about their overall wellbeing and work/life balance, as well as the company’s culture and inclusivity.

The anonymous survey revealed that 100 per cent of the Wise team said they were made to feel welcome from the moment they joined and felt they can be their true selves in the workplace. 96 per cent of those surveyed also agreed that they look forward to coming to work each day and feel encouraged to balance their work life with their personal life.

Miles Tilley, People and Culture Manager at Wise, said: “We’re thrilled to have been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing by Great Place To Work.

“Ever since we were founded back in 2019, Wise has placed great emphasis on creating initiatives that boost the physical and mental wellbeing of each of our employees. Whether that’s promoting the extensive tools, resources, and benefits we have in place, or simply finding new ways to improve the inclusivity of our culture, we’re always looking for ways to improve this each and every day.

“Seeing our name on the list of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing, alongside some giants of the industry and other well-established businesses across all sectors, is a testament to the work we’ve done so far. Every team member here perfectly embodies the culture we’ve worked hard to create, and I’d like to say a big thank you to all of them for making Wise what it is – a brilliant place to work.”
