Wongs Jewellers - Awarded UK’s Best Workplaces™ Recognition!

Our ranking was revealed at the prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces™ Awards at Grovesnor House in the heart of London, which are considered the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards. Independently assessed through a rigorous and unique process, those on the list have proved they have created a great workplace culture built on trust, supported by innovative people management practices.

Achieving our position in the small category fills us with pride as we're officially acknowledged for our commitment to inclusion, quality, and growth.

To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces™ List, Great Place To Work® analysed confidential employee survey feedback on trust and reaching their full human potential, as well as employees’ experiences of innovation, company values, and leadership effectiveness across departments and seniority levels. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies' employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience. Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.

From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall our team highly commends our dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across our business.

A quote from the Wongs Jewellers Trust Index™ Survey, ‘Wongs is a fantastic employer, always thinking about the team. We are all treated well and feel part of the family business. We are all encouraged to be ourselves, let our personalities shine and contribute to the business. Wongs really look after the staff and their needs.’

Cynthia Cartwright, Commercial Director expressed her enthusiasm about the achievement, stating, ‘What a moment – to be named one of the best small businesses in the UK – WOW – this acknowledgment reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive culture that empowers our employees to thrive both personally and professionally."
