PKF Francis Clark has entered into the top 20 Best Large Workplaces in the UK for the first time.
For 25 years, Great Place to Work has ranked the UK’s Best Workplaces based on its independent surveys of employees at hundreds of organisations across all sectors.
This year, PKF Francis Clark is the highest-ranked accountancy firm, having climbed four places to 20th among large workplaces (201-1,000 employees). The firm is also one of only three South West businesses in the top 20 across all size categories.
In Great Place to Work’s latest survey of PKF Francis Clark employees, 87% of respondents said the firm is a “great place to work”, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK-based company. Meanwhile, 91% said they are offered training or development to further themselves professionally, above the benchmark of 78% for the UK’s Best Large Workplaces.
The firm appears on Great Place to Work’s lists of the UK’s best workplaces in consulting and professional services, best workplaces for women, best workplaces for wellbeing and best workplaces for development.
PKF Francis Clark has also been recognised by the government for its commitment to apprenticeships, featuring in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers league table for the past two years.
Amy Taylor, chief people officer at PKF Francis Clark, said: “Being certified as a Great Place to Work is fantastic recognition for any employer. Since first achieving this three years ago, we haven’t stopped looking for ways to make our employee experience even better. Listening to our colleagues, including regular engagement surveys, and acting on their feedback is key to this.
“Our commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in the fact that each year we’ve moved up the UK’s Best Workplaces rankings. The best thing is these rankings are based on confidential feedback from employees at hundreds of companies across the country. We’re proud to be flying the flag for the accountancy profession and the South West.”
