HCML is proud to announce that we have been listed in the top 100 employers in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™.
The Best Workplaces for Women™ list recognises companies in the UK that are committed to ensuring a reasonable balance of women and men across the organisation; removing barriers to women’s career advancement; and creating workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.
Our inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges our commitment to create a consistently positive employee experience, to develop a workplace culture that is proven to drive business and improve our lives both in and out of work. Over the past couple of years, we have introduced numerous new benefits and initiatives to solidify our commitment to ensuring our workplace is great for all, including our own internal health and wellbeing programme, Menopause Champions and Mental Health Advocate Network.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List, Great Place To Work® analysed the anonymous responses of females in the workplace and considered their daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure they’re consistently experienced. They then used these data insights to benchmark our company’s employee value proposition against the culture our employees actually experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
From anonymous employee feedback, we can see that 96% of HCML employees feel that people are treated fairly regardless of their gender. The supportive culture of HCML was often referenced in feedback, with employees citing, “supportive management” and “flexibility” when it came to what makes HCML a great place to work.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says: “For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List has been paving the way by tackling discrimination, removing barriers to women’s advancement in their careers, and challenging taboos around subjects like the menopause and endometriosis.
“Importantly, each of the companies on the list have been commended by their own female employees through their anonymous feedback that 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.
“Congratulations to HCML for making this prestigious list!”
This award is our third from Great Place To Work over the past 12 months as we also featured in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ 2024 and UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024 lists!
