Explore Learning named one of UK's best companies to work for

Tuition providers, Explore Learning has been honoured with a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, recognising the Best Places to Work in 2018. The Employees’ Choice Awards, now in its tenth year overall (and fourth year in the UK), relies solely on the input of employees. These employees elect to provide feedback on their jobs, work environments and companies via Glassdoor.

Explore Learning, which has 132 centres across the UK and employs over 3,000 incredible people, provides extra tuition in English and maths to children aged four to 14 and is headquartered in Guildford.

Rob Hicks, Managing Director of Explore Learning said: “We are so thrilled to win a Glassdoor award for a second year running! To hear that our staff have spoken so highly of the company is fantastic. We are constantly thinking of new ways to engage our staff and ensure they’re getting the most of the role they’re in – whether that’s our brilliant tutors, our centre management or our Head Office teams. It’s wonderful to end 2017 on such a high.”

On Glassdoor, current and former employees of companies worldwide can share insights and opinions about their work environments by sharing a company review, designed to capture a genuine and authentic inside look at what it’s like to work at particular jobs and companies. When sharing a company review on Glassdoor, employees are asked to rate their satisfaction with the company overall, and key workplace factors like career opportunities, compensation, benefits, work/life balance, senior management, as well as culture and values. In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides.

Explore Learning was named the 20th best place to work for in the UK. A list of 50 of the best places was revealed on 6th December.

**Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO and co-founder ** said: “We know today’s job seekers are more informed than ever about where they go to work, researching everything from company culture to career opportunities to pay philosophy and more. To help people find companies that stand out from the pack, the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards recognise employers that are truly Best Places to Work because they’re determined by those who really know best - the employees.

“Employers where employees love to work continue to prove that they have a recruiting and business performance advantage. We’re proud to celebrate the 2018 winners as we mark our tenth anniversary of the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards.”

The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews shared by UK based employees between 1st November, 2016 and 22nd October 2017. To be considered, a company must have at least 1,000 or more employees and have received at least 30 ratings across eight workplace attributes from UK-based employees during the period of eligibility. The final list is compiled based on Glassdoor’s proprietary algorithm, and takes into account quantity, quality and consistency of reviews.
