The UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing rankings include organisations who have succeeded in making their employees experience high levels of wellbeing in their workplace.

To compile the list, Great Place To Work analyse thousands of employee surveys, assessing their holistic experiences of wellbeing at work through areas fundamental to employee wellbeing. These include: work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, and financial security. 

Evaluations included an assessment of how well organisations were able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.

Irwin Mitchell has again been singled out for a consistent approach to wellbeing, which has seen mental health form a core part of the firm’s ongoing people strategy.
