Robert Half, the world's first and largest specialised talent solutions firm, has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ (2023) today by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.
The organization’s increased commitment to an inclusive employee experience is just one of the reasons why the company ranked 15th in the large organisations category and why employees love working at Robert Half. The company is also the only staffing firm named in that category.
To determine the 2023 UK's Best Workplaces™ list, Great Place to Work® performed rigorous evaluations of hundreds of employee survey responses designed to measure employee engagement, trust and wellbeing in addition to reviewing Culture Audit™ submissions from leaders at each company. These data insights were used to benchmark the effectiveness of companies' employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience, with the businesses who achieved the highest scores after evaluation receiving Best Workplaces™ status.
Responses to the survey from Robert Half employees show 90% of employees feel the company is a great place to work and 93% are proud to work at Robert Half.
Robert Half’s HR Director for UK & Ireland and the Middle East, Vicky Austin, commented, “After being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing (2023) by Great Place to Work® in February, being recognized as a UK’s Best Workplace™ is the ultimate testament to the direction of Robert Half’s employee experience programmes. This includes further focusing on our inclusive culture under our internal employee experience campaign #OneUK; expanding our support for inclusive initiatives; increasing our green efforts and charitable contributions; introducing new programmes to recognise and reward our employees; and embracing a flexible working model designed to support better work-life balance.”
Matt Weston, Senior Managing Director for UK & Ireland, BeNeLux and UAE added, “We are honoured to be named to the UK’s Best Workplaces™ (2023) list by Great Place to Work®. At Robert Half we have long acknowledged that being people-centric mustn’t mean a box ticking exercise, but a well thought-through, living programme of initiatives designed to support inclusive employee experiences. I am also proud to receive this prestigious accolade at a time when Robert Half is celebrating 50 years of connecting exceptional talent and great businesses in the UK.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, said, “As the global authority on workplace culture, our mission at Great Place to Work® has always been to build a better world by helping organisations become a great place to work for all. We strongly believe in the notion of ‘better for business, better for people, better for the world”.
“Best Workplaces™ consistently put people first – not just in terms of looking out for their own employees but also by caring for and supporting their surrounding community and environment. We’re incredibly proud to recognise the very best ‘For All’ organisations committed to equity and unfaltering in ensuring that all employees are empowered to deliver the right strategic solutions to ever-changing business opportunities and challenges.”
