Standard Chartered named a UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™
on July 29, 202429 July, London, UK –Standard Chartered has been officially recognised as a 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™.
The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List1 is made up of employers whose people have told Great Place To Work® UK they work for a place that is inclusive and equitable for all. The 330 companies on the list are committed to ensuring a reasonable balance of women and men across the organisation; removing barriers to women’s career advancement; and creating workplaces where all employees, regardless of gender, can flourish.
Saif Malik, CEO, UK, at Standard Chartered, said: “We are very proud to be recognised as a 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™. All of our colleagues are valued at the Bank, but we recognise women can face challenges and deserve support to help them thrive in their careers. This accolade is a recognition for them, for everything they do in making a difference to our clients, the Bank’s culture and in our community.”
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK, said: “Workplaces are only great if they’re great for all employees. For seven years, the UK’s Best Workplaces for Women™ List has been paving the way by tackling discrimination, removing barriers to women’s advancement in their careers, and challenging taboos around subjects like the menopause, and endometriosis.
“Importantly, each of the companies on the list have been commended by their own female employees through their anonymous feedback that told us their workplace has gone above and beyond to ensure that women employees are treated fairly in terms of recognition, training, and promotion opportunities.
“It’s fantastic to once again see a wide spread of sectors and organisational sizes appearing on our Best Workplaces for Women™ List this year – congratulations to all!”
This award comes shortly after the Bank was recognised as a UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ 20242, listed this June as one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality 20243 for its commitment to making gender equality a priority in the workplace and officially accredited as a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organisation in the UK4 in 2023.
