Arcadis has once again emerged as one of the UK’s Best Places to Work in 2020, thanks to the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards. Jumping a massive seven places in the rankings to reach number 15 out of 50, Arcadis’s high position is testament to its success in creating a working culture that allows employees to thrive and which is committed to supporting everyone to be their best.
The Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards programme, now in its sixth year in the UK, is based solely on the input of employees, who elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies on Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites. Companies are assessed across a range of different criteria, including career opportunities, compensation and benefits, culture and values, senior management, and work-life balance.
Mark Cowlard, UK CEO of Arcadis, said:
“We have worked hard at Arcadis to create a culture and environment that is rooted in diversity, flexibility and going the extra mile, not only to deliver for the benefit of our clients and the communities we live in, but also to support our people in reaching their own personal goals and career aspirations. The fact that these rankings are based purely on employee endorsement is a real celebration of our success to date, and as we move into the new year I want to make sure that this commitment to our people continues to be reflected in everything we do.”
Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor president, chief operating officer and incoming chief executive officer added:
“This year marks the shift to a culture-first decade in the workplace. Glassdoor’s Employees’ Choice Awards winners are prioritising their culture and mission and putting employees at the heart of everything they do. In turn, their employees have recognised them as truly the Best Places to Work in 2020. This year’s winners stand out for providing exceptional career growth opportunities and encouraging work which is driven by impact and purpose. Congratulations go to all of the companies this year who stand out in the eyes of their employees.”
Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work were determined using company reviews shared by UK-based employees between 23rd October 2018 and 21st October 2019. To be considered for the UK award, a company must have had at least 1,000 or more employees and have received at least 30 ratings across each of the eight workplace attributes from UK-based employees during the period of eligibility. The final list is compiled using Glassdoor’s proprietary algorithm, led by its Economic Research Team, and takes into account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
