Coming in at position 29 for the Medium Organisations category, the ranking was revealed at the Best Workplaces Awards at Grosvenor House in the heart of London, which are considered the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards. Independently assessed through a rigorous and unique process, those on the list have proved they have created a great workplace culture built on trust, supported by innovative people management practices.
Achieving this position highlights and acknowledges Leighton’s commitment to inclusion, equality and growth, continuing its dedication to introducing more benefits, including its work from anywhere scheme, enhanced pension contribution and further education support.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces list, Great Place To Work analysed confidential employee survey feedback on trust and reaching their full potential, as well as colleague experiences of innovation, company values, and leadership effectiveness across departments and seniority levels. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies’ colleague value propositions against the culture their colleagues actually experience.
Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces status. From anonymous colleague feedback, colleagues highly commended Leighton’s dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across Leighton.
Speaking on the achievement, James Bunting, CEO at Leighton said: “At Leighton, our colleagues are at the heart of everything we do. Being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces reflects our commitment to supporting our teams' growth and well-being. We’re passionate about creating a people-first culture where everyone feels empowered to thrive and do their best work.
As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to listening to our team to improve and strengthen the culture that makes us who we are. We have ambitious plans for the future, and our commitment to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and inspiring workplace will remain at the core of everything we do.
To our colleagues – thank you for making Leighton such a great place to work.”
