Admiral Group, Adobe, EY, Gap, Hilton (pictured), Goodman Masson and McCarthy Recruitment are among the organisations recognised in the UK’s Best workplaces for women 2019 report, compiled by Great Place to Work.

The report, now in its second year, recognises organisations that go beyond statutory requirements to ensure that women are treated fairly in respect of pay, recognition, training and promotion opportunities, and catering to caring responsibilities, for example by promoting and supporting work-life balance.

The list, which is based on the Great Place to Work employee survey and accompanying methodology, also takes into consideration what employers do to ensure female staff have a fair and positive work experience, in which they are able to contribute their talents and develop personally and professionally.

Employers in the super large category that have been recognised for 2019 include professional services firm Deloitte and housing association Home Group, while organisations featured in the large category for 2019 include property management firm The Sovini Group and recruitment business Adecco. The medium category includes the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, public relations organisation Lansons and Treasury Wine Estates among the employers recognised this year.
