This prestigious ranking by Great Place to Work UK acknowledges businesses that not only cultivate a great working culture but also strive to create a positive and supportive environment for women.

At Something Big we avoid the ‘work hard, play hard’ culture that our London counterparts have become famous for, and instead, we concentrate on doing great work together. We work hard to avoid late-night deadlines by investing in great planning and scheduling so we can maintain our responsiveness to our clients without the cost to our team.

This approach has attracted ambitious, high-performing, experienced, and talented individuals who seek a balance between meaningful work and a fulfilling personal life. As a result, our employe surveys show that Something Big is a great workplace for all.

Understanding the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women rankings

The UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ rankings are based on the renowned Great Place to Work® Best Workplace™ survey, recognised worldwide as the largest and most rigorous assessment of workplace cultures. To compile this list, Great Place to Work® evaluates women’s experiences in the workplace, considering factors such as trust, equal opportunities, and representation. Women’s reports contribute 85% to the ranking, while gender representation in the workforce and management accounts for the remaining 15%.

As Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, explains: “We’re delighted to announce our 2023 collection of the Best Workplaces™ for Women for the sixth consecutive year. This list celebrates the workplaces that are not just providing a great work environment for all, but are ensuring they’re creating a positive and supportive environment for women too. Each of the companies on our list have been commended by their own female employees who have anonymously told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities. 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. It is fantastic to once again celebrate so many Best Workplaces™ for Women this year, across all sectors and organisational sizes.”

Championing gender equality for fairer, healthier, and happier workplaces

While we are delighted to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™, we also acknowledge that many workplaces still face challenges in achieving gender equality. To learn more about this topic, our CEO Sally has shared an article discussing three necessary steps to foster gender equality in the workplace.

If you too are on a journey of cultivating a workplace culture that values employees and their right to fulfilling work and a balanced life, we would love to hear from you.
