UK Power Networks delivers power supplies to 8.4 million homes and businesses across London, the South East and East of England and teams last week rose to the challenge of restoring power supplies after successive storms extensively damaged the electricity networks in many locations.

The Q1 Best Companies list is based on staff feedback, from more than 3,000 surveys between October and December 2021.

Employees had praised development opportunities including supported studies where the company gives staff time and funding to gain professional qualifications, a focus on employee well-being with regular webinars, and high levels of pride.

“Our goal is continuous improvement and that means maintaining a focus on wellbeing and diversity and inclusivity so that every employee feels equally valued and has their individual needs met.

“For the company it was another year of strong performance and that reinforces our approach – we know that a happy workforce is a productive one.”
