Maped Helix recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for wellbeing

Maped Helix has been hailed for creating an environment that encourages teamwork and support by building colleague relationships away from the workplace

Stationery giant Maped Helix is celebrating being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing. The company, which is based in Kingswinford in the West Midlands, was certified by the global authority on workplace culture, Great Place to Work®.

Regular team social events subsidised by the company ensure employees can network with their colleagues and create a supportive and friendly working environment.

Great Place to Work’s culture experts analysed thousands of employee surveys, assessing people’s holistic experiences of wellbeing at work to determine the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list.

The surveys asked employees to comment on how their company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.

Gray Richmond, MD at Maped Helix said: “I’m delighted that Maped Helix has been recognised as a UK’s Best Workplace™ for Wellbeing by Great Place to Work® UK.

“Our position on this prestigious list is driven by our annual employee engagement survey, measuring the extent to which everyone across the business feels about the culture of wellbeing we’ve developed collectively, making us a truly great workplace for all.

“The ongoing support and hard work of everyone at Maped Helix is key to our success and I’m very proud to be part of such a great team.”

Benedict Gautrey, MD of Great Place to Work® UK, added: “At the heart of every organisation are its people and looking after their wellbeing should be much more than a package of impressive perks on a careers website.

“We know when employees feel genuinely contented and at ease within their roles, they are much more engaged and productive.  Now in our second year of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Wellbeing list, we’re once again able to showcase the leading organisations providing cultures conducive to outstanding psychological, physical and social wellbeing. 

“A huge congratulations to Maped Helix for making this prestigious list.”
