We’re proud to be Certified as a Great Place to Work

We’re thrilled to announce that Leek Building Society has officially been Certified as a Great Place to Work. This recognition highlights the positive culture, engagement, and sense of belonging that our colleagues experience every day.

Receiving this certification isn’t just a badge or words on a piece of paper; it’s a true reflection of how our people feel about working here and the inclusive, supportive environment we’ve built together. Many companies can say they’re a great place to work, but we can actually prove it.

Let’s explore how we became Certified as a Great Place to Work.

In September, we invited our colleagues to take part in a survey from Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture. Participating in the survey was completely optional, but it allowed everyone to share their honest views anonymously on what it’s like to work for us.

We were delighted that 82% of our colleagues took part, well above the financial services sector average of 69%. To become certified, organisations need to score at least 65%, and we’re proud to have achieved an impressive 77% overall.

"77% of employees at Leek Building Society say it is a great place to work*, compared to 54% of employees at a typical UK based company."

Becoming a Certified Great Place to Work organisation is a fantastic achievement. It’s one we owe to our colleagues. Their passion, commitment, and feedback help us create a workplace where everyone feels valued and inspired to do their best work. Our people have been pivotal in helping us continue to be a force for good – existing to help our communities grow, so they can do great things today - and even better things tomorrow.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and excited about what’s next as we continue to build a truly great place to work.
