Renee Hawkins, Head of Professional Services of ������ UK, said: “It is a real honour to be recognized by Great Place to Work® UK for being one of the top companies in supporting and recognizing the invaluable work of our female members. In the 21st century, it should be a given that every employee has the same opportunities as anyone else, regardless of their gender, and yet we knew from our research that this continues to be an issue – particularly in the tech sector. It is vital that we address this, and at ������ we are making it an absolute priority throughout our entire business model on a continuous basis. For example, recently, we have enhanced our maternity leave packages for employees, as well as piloting more flexible working initiatives. We have plenty more plans in the pipeline to keep raising the bar and look forward to seeing many other companies follow suit.”

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, adds:��“Now in its fifth year, our 2022 list showcases the largest collection of Best Workplaces™�� for Women that the UK has ever recognized. These results are based on what women themselves have anonymously reported to us about their workplace experience and how well represented they are in the workforce and management.�� Ensuring people aren’t discriminated against, placing positive value on our differences, creating fair access and advancement for all, and fostering a sense of value and empowerment in employees is what being a Great Place to Work® is all about. Only by first identifying the gaps in workers’ experiences can organizations truly take action to close them, which is why analyzing employee experience is important. We are proud that the data and insights we provide organizations helps on that continuous journey - and it’s wonderful to celebrate so many Best Workplaces™ for Women this year, across all sectors and organizational sizes.”��
