Manchester’s Mason Advisory has officially been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing (2023) by Great Place to Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.
Lauded for creating an environment that consistently places employee wellbeing at the heart of its workplace culture, the company has ranked 86 out of 100 in the medium-sized business category, alongside 325 organisations in total.
This is the second time the report has been published, and the leading digital and technology consultancy has been listed both times. Mason Advisory is proud of having established a great company culture, and continues to nurture this to attract, retain, and develop the best in tech talent.
Romilly Gleave, Head of People and Talent at Mason Advisory, says: “We’re thrilled to have been recognised twice in a row for our dedication to workplace wellbeing and our commitment to ensuring our staff are happy, healthy, and feel fulfilled. Wellbeing and business success go hand in hand as happy people produce better work, equating to happy clients, and we continue to listen, adapt and tailor our wellbeing practices to meet the changing needs of our team.
“We are committed to creating the best environment we can for individuals to thrive and for our business to operate efficiently, so this accolade demonstrates that our efforts are working. We constantly work to normalise conversations around wellbeing and mental health, providing visibility and leadership support across the whole company. This means active sponsorship of the Wellbeing Group by a director, two directors trained as Mental Health First Aiders (MHFAs) and inviting speakers to sessions to discuss topics around mental health and workplace wellbeing. We also have regular virtual tea and talk sessions where staff can talk openly and connect with each other away from a work context. All team members have access to online wellbeing and mindfulness toolkits and we have a ‘women’s networking group’ to discuss and understand the complexity of issues women face in the workplace and on a day-to-day basis. They can range from everyday challenges to menopausal issues.”
“This recognition is a real landmark achievement for us and a morale-booster for our whole team as we continue to ensure all our employees feel valued and supported every day.”
Great Place to Work’s culture experts analysed thousands of employee surveys, assessing people’s holistic experiences of wellbeing at work to determine the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list. The surveys asked employees to comment on how their company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels
“At the heart of every organisation are its people and looking after their wellbeing should be much more than a package of impressive perks on a careers website,” explains Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK.
“We know when employees feel genuinely contented and at ease within their roles, they are much more engaged and productive. Now in our second year of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list, we’re once again able to showcase the leading organisations providing cultures conducive to outstanding psychological, physical and social wellbeing.”
