Altia, a leader in investigative software based in Nottingham, has been recognized as one of the top workplaces in the nation for employee development. The company ranks 38th in the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™ 2024 by Great Place To Work®, making it the highest-rated medium-sized business from the region in this category.
This prestigious listing highlights companies that excel in providing exceptional professional growth and development opportunities, alongside fostering a positive work culture and offering comprehensive benefits programs.
Altia’s CEO, Rob Sinclair, responded to the recognition with enthusiasm: “Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, so we’re naturally thrilled that the team here feels supported and that we’ve made significant progress in providing learning and development opportunities. This has been a key area of investment and focus as part of our growth and innovation strategy. Knowing that these efforts are making a positive impact on our team is fantastic news.”
Recently relocated to a new headquarters on Kirtley Drive, Nottingham, Altia has invested heavily in its learning and development platform, carefully selecting one that is inclusive and provides a wide range of training options, from highly technical skills to soft skills. The platform’s reception among employees has been overwhelmingly positive, with 94% of the staff believing they are offered relevant training to advance their careers, and 91% feeling they have the necessary resources to perform their jobs effectively.
The company’s positive work culture also stands out, with 90% of employees recognizing that management sees honest mistakes as part of the learning and development process, and 100% feeling they are treated fairly regardless of age, race, or sex.
Great Place to Work, a global authority on workplace culture, employs its research-driven Trust Index™ survey, capturing feedback from over 240,000 UK employees annually, along with detailed data on company culture, benefits, and development strategies, to compile these rankings.
Altia’s achievement on the Best Workplaces for Development list builds on its strong track record in creating an environment where employees can thrive, having previously been listed in Great Place to Work’s top 100 Best Workplaces in March of this year.
Sarah Venn, Head of HR & Compliance at Altia, shared her excitement about the recognition: “We are thrilled to receive this certification for learning and development, which complements our existing Great Place to Work certification and Best Workplaces Listing for an SME. This recognition is testament to our relentless efforts to create a workplace where every employee has the opportunity to learn and grow. We believe that our greatest asset is our people and investing in their ongoing development is crucial to our success. This certification not only acknowledges our past achievements but also inspires us to continue to focus on what a supportive growth-orientated workplace we can continue to be.”
In addition to professional development opportunities, employees at Altia enjoy a generous annual leave package, bonus schemes, healthcare, and flexible working policies, further enhancing their satisfaction and well-being at work.
