Charlotte Walshe, Partnerships and Impact Director at In Kind Direct said:
“We are so proud to be named on the list of UK’s Best Workplaces for Women. We have worked hard to ensure that our policies and approach reflect our core values every day. I get to work with a brilliant group of innovative women and allies who make sure everyone here, regardless of gender, feels valued, able to be themselves, and given equal opportunities to thrive.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says:
“Workplaces are only great if they’re great for all employees. 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.
“It’s fantastic to once again see a wide spread of sectors and organisational sizes appearing on our Best Workplaces for Women™ List this year – congratulations to all!”
