Reading, 23rd May 2024 – CPS 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.
CPS ranked 15th 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.
Numerous new initiatives have been introduced to solidify our commitment to employee development including a company-wide career development framework, which is in creation; once implemented it will further enable our colleagues' growth and progression, within CPS.
I am delighted with the news that CPS has achieved the UK's Best Workplace for Development award. This achievement is a reflection of the amazing contributions of our staff and our commitment to creating the right environment for individuals to follow their passions and fulfill their potential.
I would like to extend my sincerest congratulations and thanks to each and every one of my colleagues for their hard work and dedication. It is because of them, that we have been able to create such a vibrant and supportive culture. Keep up the fantastic work!
- says Stephen Adams, CEO at CPS
“Employee training and development isn’t just about teaching employees to do their jobs. It’s about showing employees they are valued and that there is a path of progression available. When employees don’t see opportunity, they don’t bring their best selves to work and productivity and retention will be adversely impacted,” said Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK.
“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 CPS 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.
