We’re pleased to announce the 100 Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe 2024. These organisations are leading the continent when it comes to trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride and camaraderie.
To determine the Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe, Great Place To Work analysed feedback from more than 1.3 million employees. Employees at these companies have told us that, despite the economic challenges facing them, their employers have found ways to offer more support to their people, developing a foundation of trust that is crucial for business success in the years ahead.
Take a look at how the UK organisations on the list have enabled their people to thrive:
Talos360
“We are absolutely delighted that our people feel so passionately about working at Talos360 that their votes have put us at the number 1 spot as a Best Workplace,” said Janette Martin, CEO at Talos360, of their UK’s Best Workplace award win earlier this year. “We truly have the best team who through their passion bring our culture and values to life every day.”
And their dedication to providing an environment for their team to flourish in has once again been proven, with Talos360 earning the number 1 rank on the Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe List.
Great leadership is a key standout feature of Talos360’s outstanding culture. In fact, every survey statement within the area of ‘Leadership Behaviour’ in the Trust Index™ employee survey earned impressive scores, with colleagues often referring to management’s sincere caring, honesty, competence, and approachability.
EMPLOYEES AT TALOS360 AGREE:
Hatmill
Hatmill scored 100% on an impressive 46 out of 60 Trust Index statements – including every employee surveyed agreeing that it is a “great place to work”.
Hatmill’s self-management ethos and the sense of autonomy this gives it’s people were referenced repeatedly in survey responses as a unique element that makes it a great place to work – proving once again that trust is the fundamental ingredient for building an exceptional workplace culture.
As one survey respondent put it, “We are all encouraged to play to our strengths and we understand that working as a team is more important than working as an individual. It's the only company I have worked in where our interests, values, and vision are truly aligned. Our people are what makes us special.”
Morgan King Group
“In all honesty, I have never worked for a company like this in all of my adult working career,” said one employee at Morgan King Group. “The opportunities that are given within this company are nothing short of incredible. I feel appreciated and valued massively and feel that I am now part of a great working family. The support that you receive is seriously top tier and I would highly recommend this business to anyone considering a new opportunity.”
A sense of camaraderie and care, vital to building a Best Workplace, is evident in abundance at the organisation, with the word ‘family’ coming up again and again in employees’ responses to the Trust Index survey.
EMPLOYEES AT MORGAN KING GROUP AGREE:
Braze
Having already ranked on 5 UK’s Best Workplaces Lists this year, Braze’s commitment to fostering a dynamic, exciting workplace culture has now earned them a spot as one of the Best Small & Medium Workplaces in Europe.
”Braze has a real energy and enthusiasm I've never seen at another company,” said one employee, whilst another noted “I love the social events that we have which bring us all together.”
In fact, their in-person events were frequently mentioned as part of what makes Braze great – moreover, employees agree almost unanimously that theirs is a fun place to work, with the company scoring 94% for this statement. And as one of the top drivers of engagement for 77% of companies we survey, fun is a big deal.

Mercator Digital
Creating a sense of belonging for employees is a vital factor in being a For All™ workplace - a workplace that is consistently great for all its employees – no matter who they are or what they do for the organisation. In fact, employees who feel a sense of belonging at work are 5 times more likely to want to stay at their organisation for a long time.
At Mercator Digital, this sense of belonging is obvious. “Mercator takes incredible pride in employees at all levels,” explains one employee. “Whether you are an administrator, a graduate developer, or CEO it feels like everybody is respected and valued equally. This attitude to employees sets the foundations for an extremely welcoming environment across the company as a whole.”
