We are thrilled to share the exciting news that we have been ranked in the 2023 UK's Best Workplaces™ list.
Whether your business is digitised, automated, or service-led, we know that it’s your people who make the real difference, we firmly believe that people are what sets a business apart, propelling it forward and helping it to achieve success. At Something Big, we have always put people first, with our core strategy being that “a happy team keeps our customers happy, and that makes our business work.”
As one of a few UK agencies that are both an employee-owned business and a certified B Corp, we are deeply committed to creating a fair, healthy, and inclusive workplace environment and culture. These legal, permanent commitments reflect our unwavering determination to prioritise our people and put them first.
The evaluation process for the 2023 UK’s Best Workplaces™ ranking
To create the 2023 UK’s Best Workplaces™ list, Great Place to Work® performed rigorous evaluations of hundreds of employee survey responses alongside Culture Audit™ submissions from leaders at each company. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies’ employee value propositions against the culture their employees experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation can receive Best Workplaces™ status. Being ranked on this prestigious list is proof that our people are genuinely at the heart of everything we do.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, said that “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.”
Our team’s survey responses reflect our commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive culture, with 100% of our team saying that at Something Big, people care about each other. In addition, 97% of our team reported that Something Big is a Great Place to Work®, and 97% said they are proud to work at our agency.
Maintaining a great workplace culture
Sally Pritchett, our CEO said “It’s one thing to achieve something once, it’s another to be able to maintain it consistently over time. That’s why we’re chuffed to have recertified as a Great Place to Work® and make it on to the UK’s Best Workplaces™ list for a second year. Maintaining workplace culture isn’t about luck or ad hoc effort, it’s about continual improvement, ongoing commitment and tacking the tough stuff.” To find out more about how we’ve worked to continuously improve our culture, check out Sally’s article here.
We take immense pride in the work we have accomplished as a team to transform Something Big into a great place to work. If you are also on a journey of fostering a positive workplace culture and seeking to partner with a creative agency that not only works with the World’s Best Workplace™ but also walks the walk with their own team, we would love to hear from you.
