Benefex is named a top 10 big employer in the UK by the Sunday Times – for the second year running

13-05-2024

We’re delighted to have not only made the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list – but also to have been listed as a top 10 big employer for the second year in a row.   🎉

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work Awards, powered by WorkL, recognises organisations who have achieved consistently high levels of employee experience and wellbeing in the UK.  

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work Awards uses 26 questions from WorkL’s employee engagement survey, developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties to most accurately monitor engagement, wellbeing and discretionary effort in the workplace. To achieve a high overall engagement score, an organisation must score well across WorkL’s six-step framework:  

  1. Reward and Recognition 
  2. Instilling Pride 
  3. Information Sharing 
  4. Empowerment 
  5. Wellbeing 
  6. Job Satisfaction 

To be considered for the list, more than half of an organisation’s employees had to respond to the survey – and companies must achieve a minimum 70% overall engagement score. The top ten companies are those which achieved the highest engagement scores within the organisation size groupings. 

Benefex scored highly in all areas of the survey – with a 90% score for employee empowerment, 88% for reward and recognition, 89% for average happiness, and 89% for job satisfaction.  

94% of employees said they have a good relationship with their manager, and 88% of employees said they have confidence in management (against an industry benchmark of 76%). 91% of employees feel that the organisation cares for their wellbeing.  

Benefex Chief People Officer, Karen O’Neill, said “At Benefex, it has always been our aim to nurture a culture that is transparent, collaborative, innovative and values-first. Being recognised as one of the top places to work reaffirms for me, that we continue to be on the right track. It’s especially fantastic to be in the top ten for the second year running – and testament to the hard work of all Benefexers in creating a standout culture.”  

“At Benefex, our mission is powering exceptional experience at work for more than 2 million employees across 80 countries, through our OneHub platform. But that mission starts with what we provide our own employees – from great benefits, recognition and wellbeing support through OneHub, to our new OneHub Wallet benefit allowances, ‘time for you’ wellbeing days, tools to support career growth, our ESG agenda, flexible working options, and beyond. We want employees have a truly positive experience here and thrive in their careers.”  

Here are just some of the ways we've been supporting our people in the just last 12 months:
