The Sunday Times Best Places to Work Awards, powered by WorkL, recognises organisations who have consistently high levels of employee experience and wellbeing in the UK.   

To enter, employees take part in a survey of 26 questions which rank organisations in six key areas: reward and recognition, information sharing, empowerment, wellbeing, instilling pride, and job satisfaction. To make the list, each company must achieve a minimum response rate (based on its size) and be ranked above 70 per cent by its own workforce.  

Dr Jo Smith CEO of Derbyshire Wildlife Trust said: 

“I am absolutely thrilled that we have been named as one of the best places to work in The Sunday Times list, just weeks after being shortlisted as an industry trailblazer by the Living Wage Foundation. 

“We are investing in culture and inclusion at the Trust and we want to continue to improve on the progress we have already made to enable our people to get the most from their role and ultimately achieve more for Derbyshire’s Wildlife. 

“The reason Derbyshire Wildlife Trust is a great place to work is because of the amazing team we have working here. They are inspiring, skilled and solutions focused people. I am so proud of our team, but of course, the real winner is wildlife - because collectively we are working closely with communities, partners, councils, private landowners, land managers and businesses to make a difference to wildlife and people; today and for the future.” 

The full list of recognised organisations will be revealed by The Sunday Times online today (Friday 10th May) followed by a dedicated print supplement on Sunday 12th May.
