Accountancy firm announced as one of UK’s best workplaces for wellbeing

PKF Francis Clark has been named one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing 2023 by Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture.

The accountancy firm, which has more than 850 employees and 55 partners in Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Poole, Salisbury, Southampton, Taunton, Torquay and Truro, is ranked 40th among large organisations in the newly published list of Best Workplaces for Wellbeing.

Initiatives to promote colleague wellbeing at PKF Francis Clark include Wellbeing Wednesdays, an ongoing programme of events and resources focusing on physical, mental and financial wellbeing, such as webinars with sports psychologists, dieticians and other experts.

The firm also has a menopause support group, as well as health and wellbeing champions and mental health first aiders in each office.

The accolade comes after PKF Francis Clark achieved Great Place to Work certification in September last year.

Amy Taylor, chief people officer, said: “Health and wellbeing is hugely important to us, so we’re very proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing. We’ve invested in lots of initiatives to support the wellbeing of our people – like our Wellbeing Wednesdays and a comprehensive package of benefits, including free access to confidential counselling and an online GP service – and we’re actively looking at what more we can do.

“I’d also like to thank our network of health and wellbeing champions, mental health first aiders and local office charity, social and wellbeing committees, who play an important role in providing peer-to-peer support for colleague wellbeing.”
