Kerv Makes the UK’s Best Workplaces in Tech for the Second Year Running!

Published 26/09/24 under:

The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces in Tech list has been published today, with Kerv recognised amongst the very best tech organisations in the large & super large category. The results are drawn from the anonymous answers given by Kerv employees in the Great Place to Work annual survey in January 2024.

This award is our fifth from Great Place To Work UK this year, with Kerv having also achieved the following places in the ‘large’ company category: 11^th in the UK’s Best Workplaces 2024, 10th in the Best Workplaces for Development 2024, 9^th in the Best Workplaces for Wellbeing 2024 and 20^th in the Best Workplaces for Women 2024.

Anonymous employee feedback from our latest Trust Index survey describes why people feel Kerv is a great place to work:

“People are open to working with others in different functional teams, there’s a friendliness that I have not experienced in other companies.”

“People have the autonomy to make decisions they feel are best for the business and customer. Management are very transparent with the direction and journey we’re on as a business which aids you in your daily operations to make the right choices.”

Great Place to Work analysed the responses of UK-based tech 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:

• 93% of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces for Tech say “I’m proud to tell others I work here” compared to a UK average for sector of 69%
• 87% of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces for Tech say “I want to work here for a long time” compared to a UK average for sector of 67%

 Rufus Grig, Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Kerv, said of the achievement,

“We are thrilled to yet again be rated as a Great Place to Work in Tech by our brilliant colleagues. Our team includes hundreds of solution architects, developers, engineers, consultants, QA and support engineers and every technology role in between and it is the privilege of my life to work with such a talented bunch who have been so brilliantly supported by fellow Kervers, all focused on delivering excellence to our clients. This recognition that together we are building a culture that fosters learning, collaboration and innovation is another springboard towards us delivering on our mission of harnessing the power of technology for the good of our people, our customers, our society and our planet.”
