PKF Francis Clark, our UK member firm servicing clients in the south-west of England, is proud to be named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing by Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture. The accolade followed a detailed employee survey, asking staff across all departments and seniority levels to comment on how the company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security.
Amy Taylor, Chief People Officer at PKF Francis Clark, said, ‘Health and wellbeing is hugely important to us, so we’re very proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing. We’ve invested in lots of initiatives to support the wellbeing of our people – like our Wellbeing Wednesdays and a comprehensive package of benefits, including free access to confidential counselling and an online GP service – and we’re actively looking at what more we can do.’
German member firms PKF Fasselt and PKF Wulf Group have also enjoyed similar success, with PKF Fasselt being named an Excellent Employer 2023 by the Berlin-Brandenburg Association of Tax Consultants. The panel of experts cited outstanding development opportunities, strong organisation and digitisation as key strengths of the firm. Staff at PKF Wulf Group resoundingly endorsed their firm as an attractive employer, with the company being awarded Great Place to Work status.
