Ernst & Young named as a top UK employer
London, 25 May 2012: Ernst & Young has today been named as one of the UK’s leading employers in the Great Place to Work Best Workplaces 2012 listing.
The professional services firm was ranked 10th in the list of the UK’s top 50 workplaces, in the large company category, based on the results of employee surveys and management questionnaires. Companies were judged against a rigorous criterion and had to demonstrate that they have developed a culture of trust with their employees and championed excellence in their people management practices.
Ernst & Young was praised by the judges for recognising the importance of listening to its people, and the levels of interaction between the firm’s leadership team and staff.
Liz Bingham, managing partner for People at Ernst & Young, commented: “To have been benchmarked and recognised as being one of the UK’s top employers is a real achievement. It’s a testament to the time and investment we’ve put into making sure that Ernst & Young is a place where all our people are able to be themselves and achieve their career potential.
“As a professional services firm, our people are our biggest asset. So whether it’s our employee networks, leadership programmes for our high potential women and black and minority ethnic staff, or our maternity coaching scheme, we’re constantly looking for ways to improve what we do.”
