Learning Pool, the leading learning technology company, has been named one of the top companies in the 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ by Great Place To Work® UK, underscoring its commitment to fostering high levels of team wellbeing. This prestigious recognition reflects Learning Pool’s dedication to creating a supportive work environment where its employees thrive.
The UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ rankings celebrate organizations that excel in promoting team wellbeing across key dimensions such as work-life balance, job satisfaction, and financial security. To compile the list, culture experts at Great Place To Work analyzed thousands of employee surveys, assessing their holistic experiences of wellbeing at work. Evaluations also included assessments of how consistently the organization delivered the employee experience across all departments and levels of seniority.
“At Learning Pool, we prioritize the wellbeing of our team as a cornerstone of our culture. This recognition validates our efforts to nurture a happy, engaged workforce, driving our mission forward with dedication and enthusiasm,” said Louise McElvaney, Chief Human Resources Officer at Learning Pool. “Being recognized as a UK Best Workplace™ for Wellbeing is a fantastic testament to our efforts.”
Learning Pool offers a range of wellbeing benefits, including private healthcare, performance bonuses, and innovative initiatives such as wellness sessions, gym memberships, and fresh fruit deliveries to the office. Noteworthy programmes also include life insurance for all team members, comprehensive counselling services, and access to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions, a proven method to support mental well-being and personal growth by helping to manage and overcome negative thought patterns.
In addition to supporting staff wellbeing, Learning Pool is a B Corporation™, dedicated to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Employees receive two paid days annually to volunteer at charities of their choice, with company-matched contributions to fundraising efforts. The company recently marked its second ‘Pooloza CSR Day,’ during which the entire workforce collectively contributed 3,000 hours to community service in a single day.
“Wellbeing, engagement, and trust between employees are critical ingredients to successful workplace culture.
