Law firm certified as a Great Place To Work®

Law firm Womble Bond Dickinson has been certified as a Great Place To Work in the UK, recognising its work to build a high-trust and high-performance workplace culture.

The certification is based entirely on employee feedback, combining an employee survey with a culture audit. Organisations only receive the recognition when they meet the benchmark for a high-trust workplace.

Claire Ritson, interim people director at Womble Bond Dickinson, said:

Achieving Great Place To Work certification is a significant milestone for Womble Bond Dickinson and an important part of our people strategy to create a culture of ambition, excellence and accountability.

Over the past year, we have introduced several initiatives to strengthen the employee experience here and the feedback collected from our people has been invaluable.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do so it's vital we continue to listen and act on their insights to continue to improve our workplace and ensure everyone feels valued and empowered.

Recent initiatives introduced by the firm, with support from its Employee Forum, include guidance on healthier email habits and new meeting practices. Both were designed to improve efficiency and reduce avoidable stress.

The firm has also focused on providing tools and resources for line managers to help create more supportive and inclusive team environments.

Some of the initiatives were recognised at last year’s Mindful Business Charter Awards, underlining the firm’s ongoing commitment to improving the experience of people working across the business.

Great Place To Work is a global authority on workplace culture and employee experience, with its certification programme used to recognise organisations that demonstrate strong employee trust and workplace practices.
