International property and construction consultancy Gleeds has announced that it has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing for the second year running.

Accreditation is awarded by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, after expert analysis of thousands of employee surveys. 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, assessing people’s holistic experiences of wellbeing at work.

Once again, Gleeds was one of just a handful of businesses from the built environment to feature in this list. We have prioritised improving the experience of our people in recent years and I think that is reflected in the success we’ve had with Great Place to Work. We care about our employee’s wellbeing and have implemented several initiatives to promote and support it in the workplace, so it’s gratifying to have been recognised with this accolade for the second year in a row.

Kate Williams, UK People Director, Gleeds

As a consultancy, Gleeds’ core offer is its people and we know that if they are given the right support and the tools to succeed then they’ll bring their best selves to work. That’s why we place such importance on fostering an environment where wellbeing is prioritised consistently and employees feel seen, heard, and valued. This latest accreditation is fantastic, but we couldn’t achieve it without the cooperation of our staff – making Gleeds a truly Great Place to Work is a team effort.

Anthony Cork, Managing Director, Gleeds UK

Wellbeing, engagement, and trust between employees are critical ingredients to successful workplace culture. Now in our third year of the UK's Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list, we’re able to showcase the leading UK organisations providing environments conducive to outstanding psychological, physical, financial and social wellbeing.

It’s no secret that by ensuring employees feel genuinely trusted and cared for, they are much healthier, productive and committed to the mission and purpose of the organisation.
