Mitie's commitment to creating a better world of work through its HR initiatives and practices has been recognised with UK Top Employer certification for a sixth consecutive year.
To be accredited by the Top Employers Institute, businesses must demonstrate how they are supporting colleagues across 20 areas of HR, including people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, diversity, equity & inclusion and wellbeing.
Mitie offers a host of industry-leading benefits that are available to all its 65,000 colleagues.
This includes free Mitie shares, 24/7 access to a free multi-language virtual GP service, life assurance, and an Employee Assistance Programme that offers readily available practical and mental wellbeing support.
Mitie also provides colleagues with access to Salary Finance, a financial wellbeing provider that offers financial support in the form of low interest loans, advances on pay and financial advice.
The facility services provider has also recently rolled out pioneering new HR policies to support better work-life balance for colleagues.
This includes early adoption of the new carer’s leave policy that gives colleagues an additional one week's unpaid leave per year, as well as policy changes to enable more flexible working arrangements and sabbaticals.
In addition to the recognition from the Top Employers Institute, Mitie has recently been included in the Top 50 Inclusive UK Employer list, received Silver Status from the Inclusive Employers Standard and won the HR Excellence Award for Best Early Careers Strategy, underlining its focus on creating a business where everyone can bring their true self to work.
