Got that new year, new job feeling? You’re not the only one – 38% of employees are planning to quit their job this year. Serendipitous timing then as a list of the best companies to work in the UK has been released today, so it might be time to brush up on your interview technique, update your CV and get in touch.
The anonymous employee review site Glassdoor has released its annual Employees’ Choice Awards for 2023 which recognises the top companies to work for in the UK. The results are based on how highly employees have ranked their workplace for things like perks and benefits, work-life balance, career opportunities and its culture and values. We’re guessing salaries come into it too.
