Arcadis has been named by the Sunday Times as one of the UK’s Top 25 Big Companies to work for. With winners assessed across a range of aspects such as workplace engagement, leadership, staff well-being, development opportunities, company culture and values, Arcadis’ place on this prestigious annual list differentiates it as truly going the extra mile to make a thriving workplace environment.
Ranking in 12th place overall, Arcadis’ ‘Best Companies’ accreditation has only been made possible thanks to an incredible commitment to workplace engagement, a strong wellbeing agenda and an aim to make a positive difference to society. It is recognition the significant investment Arcadis has made to establishing a positive environment in which its people can be their best.
The Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For lists are exclusively based on the views of employees. The highly competitive ‘Big Companies’ list highlights the leading 25 companies in this particular category. To join the list, organisations must recruit at least 3,000 full-time employees and have some of the highest Best Companies Index (BCI) scores overall.
