Connexin awarded UK’s Best Workplaces™ recognition

Smart technology and digital connectivity specialist Connexin has officially been named as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.  

Officially announced on the 13th March at the prestigious Best Workplaces Awards, this marks the second consecutive year Connexin has been recognised at the awards. 

Connexin’s commitment to its employees is evident through benefits like paid study time, enhanced parental leave, and essential medical cover through Medicash. The company also empowers employees to give back, recently raising funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, on top of raising thousands through their dedicated Connexin Cares scheme for local charities, as well as offering career mentoring and apprenticeships to diverse candidates in the community. 

In its latest Great Place to Work survey Connexin achieved record-high ratings, with nearly all focus areas improving compared to 2023. Notably, Hospitality, Team, Collaboration, Pride, and Communication saw the most significant increases, each rising by 6% or more. 

An impressive 80% of employees affirmed that Connexin is a great place to work, with 92% (23 out of 25) of focus areas scoring 70% or higher—an 8% increase from last year. The company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion was also highlighted, as over 90% of surveyed employees agreed that Connexin fosters a diverse workforce where individuals are treated fairly, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. 

Tracy Hemming-Tayler, VP of People and Culture, Connexin, said of the award; “Connexin’s rapid growth and success are driven by our incredible people and strong company culture. Being recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces™ 2025 is a testament to our team’s dedication and the positive workplace environment we’ve built. We remain committed to fostering a culture where top talent thrives, feels valued, and continues to drive our success.” 

“At Great Place To Work® our mission is to help every workplace become a great place to work for all. We wholeheartedly endorse that what’s ‘better for business’ aligns with what’s ‘better for people,’ ultimately contributing to a better world For All™” said Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work® UK.   

“Year after year, it’s truly inspiring to witness a growing number of organisations earn a spot on our UK’s Best Workplaces™ List. We’ve seen an increase yet again in Trust Index scores which means the bar has been raised and this accreditation is a significant and tremendous accomplishment. The UK’s Best Workplaces all excel in creating consistently great experiences for all employees through fostering high levels of trust, pride and camaraderie. These crucial elements collectively contribute to creating cultures where employees feel they can truly be themselves and thrive in a supportive and caring environment. Congratulations to Connexin for achieving a place on our 2025 UK’s Best Workplaces™ List.” 

Great Place To Work® performed rigorous evaluations of hundreds of employee survey responses alongside Culture Audit™ submissions from leaders at each company to create the 2025 UK’s Best Workplaces™ list. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies’ employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience. Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status.
