Global talent solutions and business consulting firm Robert Half has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing (2023) by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.
Great Place to Work’s culture experts analysed thousands of employee surveys, assessing people’s holistic experiences of wellbeing at work to determine the UK's Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list. The surveys asked employees to comment on how their company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety, and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.
At Robert Half, results speak for themselves, with 89% of employees having indicated that ‘people care about each other here’, as per The Great Place to Work® Trust Index. This reflects the sense of belonging employees often cite as the reason they choose to continue to develop their careers at Robert Half.
“At the heart of every organisation are its people and looking after their wellbeing should be much more than a package of impressive perks on a careers website,” explains Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK. “We know when employees feel genuinely contented and at ease within their roles, they are much more engaged and productive. Now in our second year of the UK's Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list, we’re once again able to showcase the leading organisations providing cultures conducive to outstanding psychological, physical and social wellbeing. A huge congratulations to Robert Half for making this prestigious list.”
Robert Half’s HR Director for the UK, Ireland and the Middle East, Vicky Austin, commented “Being recognised as one of UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing is humbling, yet it is also a testament to our ongoing commitment to employee’s wellbeing and our inclusive workplace culture. The process of achieving this accolade has also helped us gain further insight into what matters most to our employees, allowing us to take these learnings and further refine our wellbeing strategies.”
Matt Weston, Senior Managing Director for UK & Ireland, BeNeLux and UAE added “Robert Half realised long ago that supporting employee wellbeing should be intertwined into our very mission and values. Wellbeing shouldn’t come as an afterthought or formality. And we are very proud how Robert Half continues to support employees to be their best unique selves.
“This recognition feels extra special, as it comes at a time when Robert Half is also celebrating 50 years of connecting exceptional talent and great businesses in the UK. At the heart of this success and longevity are our talented people, whose happiness and wellbeing have been and will continue to be our top priority.”
Commitment to wellbeing isn’t new to Robert Half and this recognition is a reflection of the tangible impact all supporting programmes have made in the lives of its employees. From educational webinars on personal finance best practice, employee assistance programmes and mental health support, to practical physical wellbeing initiatives, including in-office yoga and talks from Olympic gold medallists, Robert Half’s all-encompassing wellbeing strategy aims to be as diverse and inclusive as its employees.
