Brightwell, the comprehensive services provider for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes, has been certified as a Great Place To Work.
Great Place To Work is a certification that recognises employers who create outstanding employee experiences. The certification follows a rigorous independent assessment, including confidential feedback from employees across all areas of the business.
Key findings from the assessment show that 91% of employees think management is honest and ethical in its business practices, 91% of employees think our customers would rate the service we provide as ‘excellent’, and 86% of employees feel they can be themselves at work. Camaraderie and corporate image are high at 82% and 80% respectively, and 86% of employees say Brightwell is a great place to work*, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK based company.
Gira Davda, Chief of Staff at Brightwell, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised as a Great Place to Work. This accreditation reflects the supportive, ambitious and values driven culture our colleagues help to create every day. At Brightwell, we want people to feel empowered, respected and able to do their best work — and this recognition shows we’re on the right path. We’ll keep listening, improving and investing in our people so that Brightwell continues to be a place where everyone can thrive.”
