Best Workplaces in BioPharma™ 2024
Globally, our Best Workplaces™ survey is the largest survey of workplace cultures and people practices. The methodology that creates our various Best Workplaces Lists is one of the most rigorous and highly sought after – and regarded as the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards.
Employees responded to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organisation creates a Great Place to Work For All™. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees say about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organisation, no matter who they are or what they do. Great Place to Work® analysed these experiences relative to each organisation’s size, workforce makeup, and what’s typical relative to their industry peers. The remaining 15% is based on an assessment of all employees’ daily experiences of innovation, the company’s values, and the effectiveness of their leaders, to ensure a consistent employee experience across departments and seniority levels.
The following criteria must be met for consideration as a UK’s Best Workplace in BioPharma™:

Best Workplaces in BioPharma FAQs
How are the Best Workplaces in BioPharma selected?
We start by identifying the companies from our pool of Great Place To Work Certified companies that have selected Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals as the primary industry in their Culture Brief. We then assess responses using our For All™ Methodology, where 85% is concerned with Trust and Maximizing Human Potential and the remaining 15% on Leadership Effectiveness, Innovation By All and Values. Finally, the top companies within each combined size category (i.e., Small & Medium and Large & Super Large) are recognised as Best Workplaces in BioPharma™.
How do we become a Best Workplace in BioPharma?
Organisations looking to be recognised on the Best Workplaces in BioPharma™ list, first start by getting Great Place To Work Certified™. Through the Certification process, we capture valuable employee feedback using our research-driven Trust Index™ survey and details about the programmes and practises that make your workplace unique. Best Workplaces™ are then determined from the pool of Certified™ organisations via a rigorous assessment process that is based on the outcome of both your Trust Index™ survey and other factors.

What happens if we don't make the list?
Ranking on our Best Workplaces™ lists is no mean feat! We never disclose the names or results of any company which does not receive this recognition, but rather offer to support these organisations to improve their employee experience and achieve better results in the future.
Our mission is to create a better world by helping organisations become great workplaces for all. Certification™, which organisations of 10+ employees will receive as long as they hit the 65% Trust Index™ employee survey threshold and submit their Culture Brief™ questionnaire, allows you to signal to the world that you are on the journey to building a better workplace culture.
And our services go beyond recognition, too! We provide bespoke consultancy which enables individual organisations to make continuous improvements based on key data and insights that target their unique set of needs at any given time. All our clients are assigned a dedicated Customer Success Project Manager to help with every step of the process in moving from good to great, including post-survey support.
