We’re delighted to announce that emerchantpay has been distinguished in four of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ lists for 2023. Great Place to Work’s® annual benchmarks showcase employers that demonstrate excellence in fostering a positive workplace culture.
This is the first year emerchantpay has been recognised among the UK’s Best Workplaces™ and we couldn’t be happier to be included in the following four categories:
- Best Workplaces™ 2023 (Small)
- Best Workplace for Women™ 2023 (Small)
- Best Workplace for Wellbeing™ 2023 (Small)
- Best Workplaces in Tech™ 2023 (Small and Medium)
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, with a mission to build a better world by helping organisations become a great place to work for all. Every year, Great Place to Work® analyses over a hundred employee survey responses in addition to Culture Audit submissions from company leaders to identify top workplaces.
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, comments:
"We’re incredibly proud to recognise the very best organisations committed to equity and unfaltering in ensuring that all employees are empowered to deliver the right strategic solutions to ever-changing business opportunities and challenges."
As part of this, Great Place to Work® anonymously surveyed employees from our UK office to evaluate their experiences across multiple categories, including culture, trust, innovation and leadership effectiveness, among other factors. Furthermore, these awards are a testament to emerchantpay being a great place to work and our commitment to foster a workplace where passion meets payments.
Our passion for payments is what fuels our growth
The Best Workplace™ list recognises the overall top-ranking organisations that are dedicated to equity and have a firm focus on empowering their employees to feel and be their best at work.
An independent survey conducted by Great Place to Work® found that 97% of emerchantpay employees said it’s a great place to work, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK-based company. A great workplace shouldn’t only be defined by its work perks, staff parties and benefits. Our values of trust, accountability, passion, transparency and customer centricity are championed by each employee and underpin our strong culture, uniting us in our goal to innovate the Fintech sector.
Harry O’Riordan, Group Financial Controller at emerchantpay, says:
“We take great pride in our dynamic and vibrant UK team, which has an unwavering focus on shaping the future of payments. While this award specifically acknowledges our UK team, it also very much reflects the fantastic culture we’ve cultivated across our offices globally. We’re honoured to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ and look forward to building on this success.”
Creating a diverse and empowering workplace for women
The Best Workplace for Women™ category celebrates organisations that are not just providing a great work environment for all but are also ensuring they’re creating a positive and supportive environment for women too. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity has enabled us to make noteworthy strides in emerchantpay’s growth and success.
As Laila Dhaliwal, Office Manager at emerchantpay, comments:
“Our UK offices very much foster a culture where trust thrives and employees feel empowered to openly share their thoughts. We prioritise competence and expertise over gender, striving for a balanced mix of professionals. We’re pleased to be recognised for our accomplishments in this area in the 2023 Best Workplace for Women™ category and look forward to continuing our advancements in this space.”
Ensuring our people feel their best by making wellbeing a priority
The Best Workplace for Wellbeing™ category showcases leading organisations, providing cultures that result in outstanding psychological, physical and social wellbeing.
Great Place to Work® found that 92% of our employees said emerchantpay is a psychologically and emotionally healthy place to work. Here at emerchantpay, staff wellbeing is a top priority and we’re committed to fostering a workplace where passion and payments collide. We regularly seek feedback from employees to identify new opportunities to maintain and elevate our unique and lively emerchantpay culture.
Anna Efthymiou, Marketing Communications Manager at emerchantpay, says:
“Wellbeing is an important focus area for emerchantpay and feeds directly into the work that we achieve not only individually but also together, as a team. Wellbeing workshops, staff training, team-building events and overall day to day support from senior leaders, as well as peers, are just a few of the many options available to staff. We’re delighted to see emerchantpay recognised among the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™.”
Harnessing new technological opportunities to improve culture
The Best Workplaces in Tech™ list showcases technology companies that have excelled at developing dynamic, collaborative cultures that serve as a catalyst for innovation and personal growth.
Great Place to Work® found that all employees surveyed from our UK offices said they’re proud to work at emerchantpay and 93% said they feel like they’re able to make a difference. Our continuous efforts to refine our technological approach have helped further streamline the way we onboard new employees, work remotely, sign documents, book rooms and assets as well as help employees make the most out of their benefits.
As Ivan Pilev, Head of System Administration, comments:
“Being acknowledged as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ in the technology industry in the UK is an absolute privilege. This award represents our strong dedication to our people and work. Everything that we do centres around our united passion to make payments easy for our clients and supporting one another to excel and innovate.”
