EVOLVE Advice earns Great Place To Work® certification

EVOLVE Advice is celebrating being certified a Great Place To Work.

The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at EVOLVE Advice.

An incredible 100% of employees said it’s a great place to work compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK based company.

The Great Place To Work mark is awarded on the basis of a research-backed employee survey, the Trust Index™. EVOLVE Advice’s results were outstanding, including:

100% say you can count on people to cooperate.

100% say people here are willing to give extra to get the job done.

Employees spoke of their pride to work at EVOLVE Advice and how they felt part of a strong team. They welcomed perks such as health insurance, quality coffee and ‘too sunny to go to work’ days but the main drivers of employee satisfaction were being part of a business with integrity, being included and a supportive team with shared responsibility.

Jake Wiid, Director and Founder at EVOLVE Advice says:

“I always felt that we had something special here at EVOLVE Advice but these results have shown that there’s deep trust and satisfaction among our team. It’s heartening to know that people find working here enjoyable and fulfilling. I have always believed that if our people are cared for and valued, our customers will benefit.”

“I know that everyone is giving their best and we share accountability for ensuring that our schools get the best possible service from us. Things don’t stand still here at EVOLVE Advice, which is one of our strengths, and the team is always ready to adapt and embrace change.”
