We are pleased to announce that we’re making a difference in the Healthcare Industry – as Consensus has been named on the UK’s Best Workplaces for Healthcare™ 2024 List for a Large/Super Large Company.
Over the last year we’ve been listening to colleague feedback to not only improve Consensus for the people we support, but our colleagues too. From launching new development programmes to support our colleagues to flourish, to ensuring every person across Consensus has access to Mental Health support when they need it most, 88% of our colleagues feel work has a special meaning. Our inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges our commitment to create a consistently and overwhelmingly positive employee experience, to foster cultures that are proven to drive business, improve lives, and better society.
Great Place To Work® UK administered their research-backed Trust Index© employee survey and analysed the responses of UK-based healthcare employees to determine the Best Workplaces™ 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.
Analysis of the sector employee survey responses found:
- 85% of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces in Healthcare would “strongly endorse their company to family and friends as a great place to work” compared to a UK average for sector of 58%
- 84% of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces in Healthcare want to work for their organisation “for a long time” compared to the UK sector average of 59%
- 82% of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces in Healthcare agree “people are encouraged to balance their work lives and personal lives” compared to the UK sector average of 56%
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK said:
“Healthcare comprises some of the most fulfilling roles for employees, providing individuals with a deep sense of purpose and opportunities to make profound impacts on people’s lives during their most vulnerable times. But the sector does come with mounting pressures which our UK’s Best Workplaces in Healthcare companies are well aware of. By prioritising employee wellbeing at leadership level they are making a critical difference to the health and happiness of this vital workforce. Congratulations Consensus for creating a truly ‘great’ workplace.”
