Ashtons are beyond proud to announce that we’ve been named Property’s Number One Company to Work For in 2022 by Best Companies, the organisation that inspires, measures and recognises workplace engagement, previously sponsored by The Sunday Times.
In addition to being Property’s Number One Company to Work For, Ashtons also ranked in the UK’s Top 10 Best Mid-Sized Companies to Work For and East of England’s Top 5 Best Companies to Work For.
Being celebrated as the top performer in the Property sector only strengthens our belief that our dedicated team of 110 property experts are our greatest asset. We proudly invest and develop our people to help them achieve their very best, and of course the best for our clients, and their expertise and commitment is at the very heart of our success.
We are delighted to have also been awarded the highest 3* Accreditation for workplace engagement, making us officially a world-class company to work for in 2022.
The nationally recognised and respected ‘Best Companies’ scheme is a standard of excellence for UK businesses. Best Companies assesses workplace engagement and measures it against the rigorous Best Companies Index Score, which encompasses factors such as leadership, wellbeing, support and personal growth, in order to celebrate and showcase outstanding employers.
Our annual ‘Top Performers Incentive Scheme’, enhanced training programmes, company-wide fundraising events and continued charitable initiatives are just a few of the factors contributing to us being awarded this coveted accolade.
Karl Judd, Ashtons’ Managing Director says: “Our people are at the centre of everything we do here at Ashtons. My mission as Managing Director is simply ‘To try and make people the best versions of themselves possible.’ Employee engagement is critical if we are to build the best Estate Agency business in Hertfordshire. The satisfaction, pride and enjoyment our people have about coming to work is of great personal importance to me.”
Ben Denham, Head of People adds: “Being recognised as the Number 1 Property business to work for in the UK is an extremely high accolade as there are so many great businesses in our industry, and to be further recognised as the 6th best Mid-Size Company in the UK across all industries is an incredible achievement and one we are incredibly proud of. For me, personally, the greatest satisfaction comes from the fact that these results are a direct reflection of how our people feel working for the business, so this is much more than just an award; our people are our biggest asset and this is a testament to just how amazing they all are.”
We are so grateful to our employees across all our branches for sharing their valued feedback, for helping create a fantastic workplace culture and for making Ashtons (officially!) a world-class place to work. We will endeavour to continue looking into new ways to innovate and make Ashtons an even better team to be a part of throughout 2022 and beyond.
Be part of something amazing.
