ACT gains its highest ever placing in Best Companies list

ACT has placed amongst the UK’s Best Companies for the 16th year running.

Wales’ largest training provider retained its position as one of the best education providers to work for in the country, climbing the list of top UK employers to its highest ever position. The organisation moved to the 26th best large company to work for in the UK and fifth best in Wales. It also retained its place in the top ten education and training organisations nationally.

The Best Companies accreditation recognises small, mid-size, large and big businesses across different regions and sectors nationally, rating them on key factors such as wellbeing, leadership and fair pay. These are tallied using an anonymous survey to staff.

For ACT, Best Companies helps ensure staff are happy and enjoy coming to work.

Head of People and Development at ACT, Rebecca Cooper, said of the achievement: “In what continues to be challenging times for our sector and the wider economy, we are incredibly proud to have been ranked 26th in the UK’s Top 100 Companies to Work For, an extraordinary rise of 30 places from last year.

“This achievement is a testament to the unwavering hard work and dedication of our senior leadership and people teams, who continually strive to make ACT a place where our colleagues can thrive. Most of all, it reflects the spirit of our remarkable workforce, whose innovation, support for one another, and commitment to our learners make ACT a great place to work.”

 ACT Managing Director, Richard Spear, added: “This recognition reflects the incredible commitment my colleagues show every single day. Their passion for improving lives through learning is what makes ACT such a special place to work.

“I’m hugely proud of the culture we’ve built together and delighted to see it recognised at a national level.”

ACT has been an accredited ‘Outstanding Company to Work For’ with Best Companies for more than a decade now and is dedicated to ensuring it remains a company of choice for people looking for a career in education.
