Wolseley UK has been crowned as a top employer by the Top Employers Institute, a title which is awarded to organisations that demonstrate ‘dedication to building a better world of work as exhibited through excellent HR policies and people practices.’

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of their HR best practices survey. The survey covers six key HR areas consisting of 20 topics including: people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, and more.

They continue to meet the challenges of the changing world of work while working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of their workforce. We are pleased to celebrate and applaud the organisations that have been certified as Top Employers in their respective countries this year.”
