Stiebel Eltron UK has been included in the small business category of Great Place to Work’s 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Construction, Engineering & Property.
The supplier of renewable heating technology achieved a 29th place ranking, reflecting efforts to drive the sector forward while providing a sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction and financial security for employees.
Great Place to Work is a global authority on workplace culture and uses employee surveys to help guide organisations in building a strong work environment. Its certification process captures valuable employee feedback using its research-driven Trust Index™ survey, as well as compiling information on the company’s culture, benefits, and approach to development, to benchmark its value proposition against the culture employees experience.
We understand that the wellbeing of our employees is integral to our overall success…
The latest accolade builds upon Stiebel Eltron’s track-record in delivering an environment where employees can thrive, with the company being previously listed in Great Place to Work’s Top 50 Best Workplaces list in March, and ranked in the Top 25 for workplace wellbeing.
All employees who took part in the annual survey agreed the company treated them fairly regardless of race or gender, gave them the resources to do their job, created a safe environment, and provided facilities for a good working environment.
As well as identifying trust and fairness within the company, workers highlighted how they wanted long and established careers at the company, as well as how they are proud to work for the organisation.
Managing director, Mark McManus, says: “We aim to be the best in our field, and our employees are the driving force behind what we do. Key to this is developing a positive workplace culture which allows team members to thrive and enjoy their roles, enabling them to perform to the best of their abilities.
“It’s fantastic to gain this recognition, but the hard work doesn’t end here and moving forward we’ll continue to develop a supportive, positive environment which allows everyone connected with us to succeed.
“Our workforce is what makes Stiebel Eltron a unique and special place to work, and we’re delighted to be recognised as one of the top companies in the UK for ensuring the health, happiness, and professional growth of our employees.”
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our employees acknowledge this, and a huge thank you goes out to them for their superb work.”
Lynsey Green, Head of People, adds: “We believe that performing well within our sector starts with a workforce which is empowered to deliver the best service possible. This means more than just putting policies in place. It’s about showing that our employees are valued and creating an inclusive and nurturing environment where every individual feels supported.
“We understand that the wellbeing of our employees is integral to our overall success, and we remain committed to providing resources and initiatives that promote a healthy work-life balance.”
As well as supporting its employees, Stiebel Eltron UK has placed an onus on growing its offering to the UK’s renewable heating market as it looks to drive the adoption of heat pumps across the country with the most innovative technologies and comprehensive training for installers.
Most recently, STIEBEL ELTRON UK partnered with solar panel provider Solarwatt to deliver renewable energy powered homes across Britain, with the partnership offering a holistic approach to the implementation of renewable technologies to maximise energy efficiency and cost savings.
The company has also invested in comprehensive training for installers. With an initial £350,000 investment into a new state-of-the-art training centre and programme in November 2022, the company expanded the facility at its headquarters in Bromborough, Wirral, in September last year to increase capacity for new heat pump installers.
