UK – Google tops Glassdoor’s list of ‘Top 10 Best Places to Work in the UK’

11 December 2019

Glassdoor has unveiled its list of Best Places to Work in 2020 in the UK during its 12th annual Employees' Choice Awards.

The Glassdoor Employees' Choice Awards are based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback, by completing a company review about their job, work environment and employer over the past year. Winners are ranked based on their overall rating achieved during the past year. (Ratings based on a 5-point scale: 1.0=very dissatisfied, 3.0=OK, 5.0=very satisfied; Actual calculations extend beyond the thousandth decimal place).

The Top 10 Best Places to Work in the UK for 2020 are:

Google (rating 4.5)

Equal Experts (rating 4.5)

Salesforce (rating 4.5)

Hiscox (rating 4.4)

Softcat (rating 4.4)

Abcam (rating 4.4)

Microsoft (rating 4.4)

SAP (rating 4.4)

Topps Tiles (rating 4.4)

Arup (rating 4.4)

“Glassdoor's 50 UK Best Places to Work in 2020 list features winning employers hiring across a range of industries, with technology, hospitality, finance, insurance and construction leading the way. Google claims the top spot with a 4.5 rating; this is not the first time for the technology giant, it ranked #1 in both 2015 and 2018,” Glassdoor said.

"Workers are increasingly prioritising culture over cash and research consistently shows that culture is the leading driver of long-term employee satisfaction," Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor Chief Economist, said. "That said, business leaders have quantifiable proof that culture is one of the smartest investments they could make for the success and longevity of their companies. However, being a culture-first organisation isn't about expensive perks, but about articulating a clearly-stated mission that resonates with employees' own aspirations and fuels their best performance."
