OPD recognised in 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services™ list

news

The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services™ list was revealed this morning by Great Place To Work® UK, recognising OPD among the list of organisations in the small & medium category. We are delighted to receive this news and proud to be recognised for our amazing workplace for the second consecutive year!

OPD employees anonymously reported strong results across the board, but our team culture and sense of community stood out as key elements in making the company a great place to work. Our values of Innovate, Collaborate and Delight are central to the way we work at OPD, and it was great to see these highlighted so clearly in our survey results.

Receiving this award feels particularly special to OPD as it highlights one of the founding principles for OPD: the aim to foster a culture that makes it as easy as possible for people to do their best work within the backdrop of a supportive environment. We believe making this list signifies that OPD has achieved this goal.

Here are some of the results of our latest Trust Index© survey results from the OPD team:

100%
OPD’s Community Score reflects camaraderie and measures the extent to which employees consider that there is a sense of ‘family’ or ‘team’.
99%
OPD’s Team Score reflects the sense of pride in OPD’s accomplishments and their willingness to give extra for the benefit of the team.
100%
said they could count on their team mates to cooperate.
92%
of the team agreed in response to the question “taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work”.

The Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services™ list is created using feedback collected from the team anonymously via their Trust Index© employee survey. The survey asked for feedback on how OPD supports work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well OPD provided consistency of experience across all departments and seniority levels.

Personally I’m beyond delighted that we’ve achieved a coveted place on the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services for the second year running.

“Personally I’m beyond delighted that we’ve achieved a coveted place on the UK’s Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services for the second year running. The anonymity of the individuals taking part in the survey only serves to increase its value to us and I think that the management team here at OPD have the confidence to even undertake this survey says a lot about the company culture and the outstanding team that we are so proud of. In previous years this certification has massively helped us attract and retain the very best talent in the industry, and I have no doubt that this award will only serve to further help that during this period of sustained growth for OPD.”

Our culture here at OPD is special, and our survey results underlined this with 100% of the team giving top marks when asked about the sense of ‘family’ or ‘team’ at OPD. I think that captures our culture in a nutshell!
