Bristol's Xledger ranked as top tech company in the 2021 UK’s Best Workplaces

Cloud-based finance software provider Xledger has been listed as the top technology company in the 2021 UK’s Best Workplaces and ranked third overall in the small business category.

Bristol-based Xledger is among the 183 UK-based organisations recognised as promoting a healthy workplace culture through trust, pride and camaraderie during the Covid-19 pandemic. Great Place to Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue and increased innovation.

Ian Halliwell, Sales and Marketing Director of Xledger, said: “At Xledger, our culture is centred around our people and what we call our cultural compass, which is an approach that’s very much helped to guide us through the last 12 months. It’s the people and how they work with one another that make an organisation special and we understand that a diverse workforce brings fresh ideas and perspectives to the table, which enables us to make innovative business decisions.”

Xledger is now one of Bristol’s fastest growing businesses. It recently moved into 11,000 square foot of newly renovated office space, as the company looks to build a hybrid approach to flexible working and create a "destination hub" for its people. 

Halliwell added: “We know that in order to grow and scale the business effectively, we need to continue to build an inclusive, engaging and fun working environment that all staff are proud to be part of and look forward to coming to work each day.”

To determine an organisation’s ranking, Great Place to Work administers a comprehensive employee survey which represents 75% of an organisation’s final score. The remaining quarter of the score comes from the Culture Audit – a business-driven questionnaire that uncovers and evaluates the organisation's HR and leadership practices, policies and culture.
