Secure Trust Bank Group (STBG) has officially been named as one of the UK's Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024 by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.
STBG ranked 26 out of 100 in the brand new UK's Best Workplaces for Development List which recognises companies making employee development a key part of company culture.
The listed workplaces offer employees the chance to better themselves, to learn new skills, and to progress within the organisation. By being included in the List, the companies have demonstrated they understand that development is not one-size fits all, and they actively support every single employee to undertake their own tailored journey of growth. Because of this, their people are fuelled by a sense of purpose, feel valued by their employer, and give their best to the organisation.
STBG's inclusion on this exclusive list officially acknowledges the ongoing commitment to learning, development and employee growth. Numerous initiatives have been introduced to solidify the commitment to employee development including the colleague-led Learning at Work Week, internal MentorMe scheme, and confidence-building programmes like Blazing My Trail and Confident Leader Academy.
Christopher Brooks, Customer Service Executive and Mentee at STBG, said, "MentorMe was highlighted as a great way to get support in my current role and aid my development. My mentor has supported me by providing fantastic constructive feedback on the challenges that I face and celebrating my achievements."
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK said, "Employee development is future-focused and evidences a commitment to employee's long-term growth. It ensures your people feel valued, and feeds into the overall company culture and strategy. Each year, we recognise organisations whose thriving workplace cultures are enabling both their people and their business to flourish. Opportunities for learning and development are a crucial element of this success, which is why we're so thrilled to be recognising this year, for the very first time, the UK's Best Workplaces for Development.
"Congratulations to Secure Trust Bank Group for being part of our 2024 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 are then used to benchmark each company's employee value proposition against the culture employees actually experience. Only the businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
