Leeds Mind is proud to announce that we have been named on the top 100 in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™.
The Best Workplaces for Wellbeing list focuses on employees’ full experiences of wellbeing at work – including work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, social support, job satisfaction and more – to reveal the best workplaces for wellbeing in the UK.
Our inclusion on this list acknowledges our commitment to creating a great employee experience, as a critical part of our work towards building a mentally health future in Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Over the past two years, we have introduced numerous new initiatives to solidify our commitment to employee wellbeing including clearer progression pathways, improvements to facilities, and expanded race equity work.
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing List, Great Place To Work® reviewed our culture, benefits, approach to leadership and development, alongside anonymous responses from our employees. They then used these data insights to benchmark our company’s employee value proposition against the culture our employees actually experience. Only the organisations who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall our team highly commends our dedication to improve and grow our internal culture across our charity, as well as a high sense of job satisfaction. In the feedback, 96% of our team said: “My work has special meaning: this is not ‘just a job’.”
Eloise Bell, Head of People, Culture and Governance at Leeds Mind, said:
“Being named on the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing List is a testament to our team’s values and dedication.
“Our feedback highlights the supportive, connected way we work. As a values-led organisation, we set high standards for what people can expect as part of the Leeds Mind team, so external recognition like this, based on real employee feedback, is hugely encouraging.
“As we work towards a mentally healthy future for Leeds and West Yorkshire, it’s vital we create the conditions for people to thrive and do their best. I’m incredibly proud to be part of such a tremendous team.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK says: “Creating a culture of wellbeing requires deliberate leadership, strong values and consistent action that puts people first. The UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ List recognises organisations that take a genuinely holistic approach to supporting their people, across mental, physical and financial health, as well as fostering a strong sense of belonging.
“To be recognised on this list is a clear signal that wellbeing is not treated as a peripheral initiative, but as a fundamental part of organisational culture. Congratulations to Leeds Mind on this achievement and for setting a leading example for workplaces across the UK.”
We’re so proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place To Work has provided us with to build on our culture and employee satisfaction. If you would like to be part of our great team, check out our latest vacancies here:
