We at PPC Geeks are thrilled to announce that we have been named among the top workplaces in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024. This new recognition highlights companies that prioritise employee development as a core aspect of their culture. These workplaces offer opportunities for employees to enhance their skills, learn new ones, and progress within the organisation. They understand that development is not one-size-fits-all and actively support each employee’s unique growth journey. As a result, their employees are driven by a sense of purpose, feel valued, and contribute their best to the organisation.
Our inclusion on this prestigious list officially acknowledges our commitment to development, innovation, and employee growth. Over the past year, we have introduced several initiatives to solidify our commitment to employee development, including the launch of our comprehensive Learning and Development Program, which offers tailored training sessions and access to industry-leading resources.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List, Great Place to Work® reviewed our culture, benefits, approach to leadership, and development practices, alongside anonymous responses from our employees. These data insights were used to benchmark our company’s employee value proposition against the actual culture experienced by our employees. Only businesses achieving the highest scores receive the Best Workplaces™ status.
From our anonymous employee feedback, it’s clear that our team highly commends our dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across our business. One employee shared, “PPC Geeks has provided me with the tools and support to grow not only in my role but also personally. The commitment to development here is unparalleled.”
Dan Trotter, Co-founder of PPC Geeks, said: “Our inclusion in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List is a testament to our unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth. We believe that when our employees grow, our company grows alongside them. This recognition is a reflection of our collective efforts to create an environment where everyone can thrive.”
“Employee training and development isn’t just about teaching employees to do their jobs. It’s about showing employees they are valued and that there is a path of progression available. When employees don’t see opportunity, they don’t bring their best selves to work and productivity and retention will be adversely impacted,” said Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK.
“Employee development is future-focused and evidences a commitment to employees’ long-term growth. It ensures your people feel valued and feeds into the overall company culture and strategy. Each year, we recognise organisations whose thriving workplace cultures are enabling both their people and their business to flourish. Opportunities for learning and development are a crucial element of this success, which is why we’re so thrilled to be recognising this year, for the very first time, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development.
“Congratulations to PPC Geeks for being part of our 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Development List.”
We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights from Great Place to Work to continue enhancing our culture and employee satisfaction.
