Womble Bond Dickinson has been certified as a Great Place To Work® in the UK, recognising the firm’s commitment to building a high-trust, high-performance workplace.
The Great Place To Work® UK certification is based entirely on employee feedback. It combines an employee survey with a culture audit, and organisations are only certified when the results meet the benchmark for a high-trust workplace.
Claire Ritson, Interim People Director at Womble Bond Dickinson, said:
“Achieving Great Place To Work certification is a significant milestone for Womble Bond Dickinson and an important part of our people strategy to create a culture of ambition, excellence and accountability.
"Over the past year, we have introduced several initiatives to strengthen the employee experience here and the feedback collected from our people has been invaluable. Our people are at the heart of everything we do so it's vital we continue to listen and act on their insights to continue to improve our workplace and ensure everyone feels valued and empowered.”
With support from the firm's Employee Forum, recent initiatives have included guidance on healthier email habits, and new meeting practices, both designed to improve efficiency and reduce avoidable stress. Focus was also put on providing tools and resources to line managers which foster more supportive and inclusive team environments. Some of these initiatives were recognised at last year's Mindful Business Charter Awards, endorsing the firm’s ongoing commitment to improving the experiences of people working at Womble Bond Dickinson.
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture and employee experience, with research-backed leadership behaviours proven to help drive business performance, employee retention and innovation.
