Earlier this year, Sumillion was recognised as the No. 1 Best Workplace for SMBs in the UK for 2024. Adding to this, we have now earned a spot on this year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ list. This fantastic achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our entire team.
Ranking No.1 in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ list, Sumillion is acknowledged for making employee development a key part of our company culture. We believe in offering our employees the opportunity to better themselves, learn new skills, volunteer with charities in the UK and abroad, and progress within the organisation. By being included in this list, we have demonstrated our understanding that development is not one-size-fits-all. We actively support every single employee to undertake their own tailored journey of growth. Because of this, our people are fuelled by a sense of purpose, feel valued, and give their best to the organisation.
Sumillion’s inclusion on this list officially acknowledges our ongoing commitment to development, innovation, and employee growth. Over the past year, we have introduced numerous new benefits and policies to solidify this commitment. One initiative we are particularly proud of is our Champions Program, where employees with experience, mentor and guide their colleague’s professional development.
An employee recently shared: “Working at Sumillion has given me countless opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. The support for continuous learning here is unparalleled.”
John Rose, our Business Development Manager, expressed his pride in the recognition: “Being named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ reflects our commitment to creating a nurturing and growth-oriented environment. We believe that when employees see a clear path for their progression, they are more engaged and motivated to contribute their best work.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK, highlights the importance of development in the workplace: “Employee training and development isn’t just about teaching employees to do their jobs. It’s about showing them they are valued and that there is a path of progression available. When employees don’t see opportunity, they don’t bring their best selves to work, and productivity and retention are adversely impacted.” He adds, “Employee development is future-focused and evidences a commitment to employees’ long-term growth. Each year, we recognise organisations whose thriving workplace cultures enable both their people and their business to flourish. Opportunities for learning and development are crucial to this success, which is why we’re so thrilled to recognise Sumillion on this year’s UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ list.”
To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ list, Great Place To Work® reviewed each company’s culture, benefits, approach to leadership, and development, alongside anonymous responses from employees. These data insights benchmark each company’s employee value proposition against the culture employees actually experience. Only the businesses that achieve the highest scores receive Best Workplaces™ status.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our entire team for this remarkable achievement and express our gratitude to Great Place To Work® for this recognition. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and sustainability, while delivering unparalleled IT solutions that empower businesses to thrive in the environmentally conscious way possible.
