Take part in our survey: Best UK Employers 2025

The Financial Times and its research partner, Statista, have launched a new project: identifying the very best companies to work for — in different regions of the world.

In March, we invited readers to nominate any companies that we should consider for a new ranking of the ‘Best Employers’ in the UK. And, today, we are asking all UK employees to provide evaluations of their employers.

All you need to do is click here, to complete a 5-minute survey.

You will be asked to answer questions about your employer, and all your responses will remain anonymous. Both full-time and part-time employees may participate, and the survey will be open from Tuesday 16 July until Tuesday September 17.

Complete our survey questionnaire today!

Give us your views on your employer in the UK by filling in this simple questionnaire (5 minutes to complete). Responses will remain anonymous.

In addition to gathering these survey responses, the FT and Statista will contact employees of companies in eligible countries via online access panels, and ask them to complete a questionnaire, as well. These panels comprise workers from thousands of companies across the UK who have already agreed to take part in anonymous online research (and have therefore not been selected or influenced by their employers, ensuring the independence of their responses).

Potentially eligible companies were researched by Statista earlier this year using numerous sources — including industry associations, trade journals, and economic research institutes.

How the ranking of ‘Best Employers’ will be compiled

Based on the survey evaluations, every company will receive a score and the highest scoring companies will be included in the final ranking. This ranking will be published in a special report with the Financial Times newspaper, and on FT.com, on February 18, 2025.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Best UK Employers research, companies must:

• have at least 250 employees;

• have employees in one or more of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

If you would like more information about the survey phase, or if you have any questions about participation, please send an email to: best-employers-uk@statista.com.

Please note: surveys and evaluations will be subject to eligibility; completion of a survey does not guarantee that a company will be included.
