Officially announced last night at the prestigious Best Workplaces Awards held at London’s Grosvenor House and hosted by Comedian Katherine Ryan, the company ranked at position nine in the medium sizes business category.
Highlighting why they love working at Leighton, one colleague shared via the anonymous Great Place to Work® Trust Index Survey©: "This is the first company I have ever worked at that genuinely does what they say they are going to do. When they say they are flexible, they mean it. When they say they provide opportunities, they mean it. When they say they care about a work/life balance, they mean it. It's been refreshing to join a company that actually cares, rather than making promises in a job advert and never hearing of them again once you start.”
In its 2023 Great Place to Work® Trust Index© Survey Leighton scored 97% for the statement: "Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work", scoring a further 95% on average for all other statements. It was these results that made Leighton a contender for the UK's Best Workplaces™ 2024.
CEO of Leighton, James Bunting said: "Being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our colleagues’ growth and well-being. We are dedicated to fostering a people-first culture that empowers our team members and encourages them to thrive. It's been a great year for Leighton as we became Great Place to Work certified, were named one of the Best Workplaces in Tech and now having been recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces."
“At Great Place To Work® our overarching goal has consistently been to enrich the world of work by empowering companies to evolve into exceptional organisations that cater to everyone.
