Great Place to work

We prioritise our people

Outstanding employee experiences

We’re proud to be called a Great Place to Work®. This prestigious certification means that we offer an outstanding employee experience, based on feedback from our employees themselves. In fact, 98% of our employees say that they’re engaged!
The certification is an endorsement of our company culture, which we’ve strategically crafted to support our employees while nurturing their career aspirations, challenging them to grow and reach their full potential.

Get to know us better

Our people are at the heart of everything we do, which is why we invest in their success.

Flexible employee benefits

We offer a range of family-friendly benefits that prioritise flexibility and wellbeing. By consulting deeply with the whole team at Leyton, we’ve created a meaningful suite of benefits that look after physical, mental and financial wellbeing. From remote working to an employee assistance programme that gives our employees access to leading healthcare providers, we’re committed to supporting our employees’ health and happiness.

Career development

Discover a culture of lifelong learning and continuous improvement. We’re recognised as an “Exceptional Learning Organisation” by the LPI because of our commitment to professional development. We provide a diverse range of training opportunities, along with coaching and mentoring programmes to help everyone reach their best.

Volunteering opportunities

Not only do we offer each employee a day for volunteering, we actively encourage and celebrate giving back to worthwhile causes. Powered by Neighbourly, a platform that connects businesses with local charities for social good, our employees are busy volunteers in their local communities. We’re also passionate fundraisers for our target causes, including Cancer, Children, Mental Health, Homelessness, Food Poverty and Planet.

We’re here for everyone

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB)

We couldn’t be prouder of our diverse workforce. Guided by our values, we’ve created a culture that encourages collaboration and fosters a real sense of belonging. Our employee-led diversity council provides a voice for employees from all walks of life, ensuring that everyone’s view is heard as we strive to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.

Working with the UN

As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, we champion gender equality and recognise why it’s vital for achieving a sustainable future. We’re serious about empowering women. That’s why we’ve joined the UN’s Target Gender Equality accelerator programme, helping us reach our ambitious women’s representation and leadership targets.

Life At Leyton podcast

As part of our commitment to championing diverse voices, we’ve created our very own Life At Leyton Podcast. Have a listen to hear directly from our amazing employees as they share their unique perspectives on everything from career tips and workplace initiatives to important discussions on diversity and inclusion.

“Achieving the Great Place to Work certification is a testament to our incredible staff and their unwavering dedication. This recognition reflects our commitment to valuing our people, listening to their voices, and fostering an environment where they can thrive. Their passion and engagement are the foundation of the exceptional service we provide to our clients.”
