Earlier in the year, Q5 was picked as a Great Place To Work In The UK – scoring highly on topics including company culture, reward & recognition, wellbeing and people development, quality of leadership, diversity & inclusion, and more. Now, Great Place To Work has named Q5 in three more specific lists of a similar nature.
Global authority on workplace culture Great Place to Work found that Q5 was also a top workplace for development, women and wellbeing.

For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women list has been tackling discrimination and removing barriers to women’s career advancement. It’s no secret that by ensuring employees feel genuinely trusted and cared for, they are much healthier, productive and committed to the mission and purpose of the organisation. Congratulations to Q5 for making these prestigious lists!”
