South Liverpool Homes is one of top five best places to work for women

Published: 21 July 2022

South Liverpool Homes (SLH) has been officially named as one of the 2022 UK Best Workplaces™ for Women – ranking 4th among 96 medium-sized UK-based organisations that made the list.

This recognition comes on the back of all colleagues completing the Great Place to Work® survey last year which is designed to measure employee engagement. The results that make up the Best Workplaces™ for Women list are based on what women said about their workplace experience and how well represented they are in their organisation.

Earlier this year, SLH launched its new vision and values with inclusivity being one of the five values that colleagues chose to be the heart and soul of the organisation. Colin Gibson, SLH’s Executive Director of Culture & Communications said: “We are delighted with this accolade which is proof that SLH is a great workplace for all.

“We are so proud of everyone who works at SLH. We believe we have a special culture here, with colleagues going above and beyond to ensure we deliver great homes, strong communities and bright futures for our all our customers.”

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, said:

“Now in its fifth year, our 2022 list showcases the largest collection of Best Workplaces™ for Women that the UK has ever recognised. These results are based on what women themselves have anonymously reported to us about their workplace experience and how well represented they are in the workforce and management.

“Ensuring people aren’t discriminated against, placing positive value on our differences, creating fair access and advancement for all, and fostering a sense of value and empowerment in employees is what being a Great Place to Work® is all about.”

Some of the many benefits of working at South Liverpool Homes include a truly agile approach to working hours, practical support for positive mental and physical health plus generous holidays – including birthday leave and special leave for events such as becoming a grandparent or a son/daughter’s graduation day.

Here’s what some SLH colleagues said in the last Great Place to Work survey:

“I have never worked anywhere like SLH before. Staff are fully supported and recognised for their hard work. Over the past 12 months, employee wellbeing was prioritised by all the management team and we could not have been supported more. It genuinely is a special place to work.”

“The emphasis on wellbeing and promoting ways to increase wellbeing is excellent. Things like the ‘friendly faces' / mental health first aiders and the company healthcare benefit are what makes SLH an amazing place to work.”

“The organisation promotes a good work-life balance which is very important to me, and the flexibility with regards to working hours is great too.”
