For the third year running, Mintra has been recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026, powered by WorkL. Selected from more than 70,000 organisations nationwide, the recognition highlights Mintra’s continued commitment to creating a positive, empowering and inclusive workplace culture through continuous organisational improvement.

The annual awards, announced on 22 May 2026, celebrate and recognise the UK’s top employers that demonstrate high levels of employee engagement, workplace culture and overall employee experience across a range of industries and sectors. The survey measures employee experience through 26 questions across six workplace engagement categories.

Mintra is recognised in the Medium Organisation category (50–249 employees) and has been rated as ‘good’ or ‘higher’ across all six categories: Empowerment, Wellbeing, Job Satisfaction, Pride, Information Sharing, and Reward & Recognition.

Amy Reid, Global People and Culture Director at Mintra shared, “As an almost 100% remote and hybrid business, we’ve embraced new ways of working while ensuring our people continue to feel connected, supported and valued wherever they are in the world. From flexible working and wellbeing initiatives to learning and development opportunities, we remain committed to creating an environment where people can thrive both personally and professionally. This award is a testament to the passion and commitment of our teams across the business.”

Mintra achieved an overall employee engagement score of 77%, maintaining consistently strong results over the past three years. Several results also standout against global and technology sector benchmarks, including:

  • Only 12% employee flight risk, compared with a 40% global average and 42% technology sector average
  • Just 19% wellbeing risk, significantly below the 39% global benchmark and 42% technology sector benchmark
  • 76% confidence in management
  • 79% job satisfaction, continuing a strong three-year trend

Kevin Short, CEO of Mintra, said, “Being recognised for a third year by The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Work 2026 is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the culture our colleagues work hard to create every day. We are particularly encouraged to see strong results in areas such as wellbeing, job satisfaction and employee retention, especially when benchmarked against the wider technology sector. This recognition reinforces our long-term focus on building an engaged workforce and maintaining a culture where employees feel valued, supported and empowered to succeed.”
