That said, there is still more work to be done and we're looking forward to building on this success and continuing to further inspire our amazing female colleagues all over the world." Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, explains: "Now in its fifth year, our 2022 list showcases the largest collection of Best WorkplacesTM for Women that the UK has ever recognised. 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 organisations truly take action to close them, which is why analysing employee experience is important. We are proud that the data and insights we provide organisations helps on that continuous journey – and it's wonderful to celebrate so many Best Workplaces™ for Women this year, across all sectors and organisational sizes."
