Times Top 100 Companies to Work For 2019

The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For – 2019

We were delighted to be awarded 47th place in The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2019. We see employee engagement as going hand-in-hand with our commitment to putting members first – by making sure our people are engaged and happy in their work, they will be motivated to do the best job they can for our members.
However, we recognise that there’s still work to be done, and we’re committed to making changes to ensure that our employees are engaged with us both now and in the future.

 

IT Transformation

We’re on a huge journey of transformation that will give us the right technology to remain competitive in the digital age and help us control our operating costs.

Our IT teams include Service Operations, Development, Architecture and Testing. We’re focussed on positive change – so you’ll be given the freedom to develop and contribute to our success from day one.

 

The Workplace Wellbeing Charter

Looking after the wellbeing of our employees is important to us. We’re pleased to have been accredited by the Workplace Wellbeing Charter, a national accreditation standard that recognises our commitment to the health and wellbeing of our employees. The accreditation assessed the Society in eight areas of wellbeing including leadership, mental and physical wellbeing. The Charter not only recognises the work we’ve done, but will also help shape the future wellbeing of the Society.
