Featuring in some of the world’s most prestigious workplace rankings and best company to work for indices is no longer just ‘nice to have’. On the contrary, it’s now considered a must-have in proving your corporate responsibility credentials and winning the confidence of key stakeholders – from employees, customers and suppliers right through to investors and even regulators.

With the largest database of workplace rankings and company league tables in the world – not to mention one of the highest win rates – we can help you secure that all-important placing, or increase your ranking. We are very experienced in helping companies with the Stonewall Index, The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for, Great Place to Work Schemes and the Social Mobility Index, amongst many others. 

Stonewall Workplace Equality Index

The Stonewall UK Index and The Stonewall Global Workplace Equality Index are the definitive benchmarks for employers to measure their LGBT+ workplace inclusion achievements and progress. 

Participating employers demonstrate their work in ten areas of employment policy and practice plus staff must complete an anonymous survey. The entries are beasts with the potential to be over 35,000 words, plus a plethora of supporting material to show your policies, inclusion activity and more.

The Stonewall UK Workplace Equality Index opens in June and closes in September, while The Global Workplace Equality Index opens in October and closes in late Feb/early March. 

The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For

This prestigious, highly competitive and well-known UK scheme is run by Best Companies. There are three different league tables for company sizes (minimum 50 employees) and a fourth for not-for-profits. Entrants also have the opportunity to be placed in regional lists.

The process involves a thorough survey and a huge written entry (up to 10,000 words). The survey is organised and set up by the organisers and the scores you get here will determine if and where you are placed in the top 100 list. The written entry makes no difference to your ranking. However, it is crucial in winning one of five special awards (each award to one company per list):

• Innovation in Engagement Practice
• Giving Something Back
• Learning and Development 
• Wellbeing 
• Discovering Potential 

Social Mobility Employer Index

The aim of the Social Mobility Employer Index is to encourage companies to share their initiatives with regards to ensuring they are open to accessing and progressing talent from all backgrounds.  

The Social Mobility Index is an important bench-marking initiative that ranks Britain’s employers that are progressing and showcasing the best progress in improving social mobility.

Employers are asked to supply data and examples of their achievements across eight sections and it’s around 9,000 words in total including data and statistics, plus an employee survey to sit alongside your written entry. The deadline is usually late May.

Great Place to Work Scheme

Run by Great Place to Work Institute, this is not as well-known as the Sunday Times list, but it is international, and you can influence your ranking substantially with a solid written entry (where Boost can help). A third of the marks are for the written entry.

The organisers say that there is a degree of flexibility around the deadline date and this can be discussed on a case by case basis. However, overall the survey and written entry should be finalised by mid-November. Entry fees vary depending on the company size – prices start from £5k for the smallest companies (20 employees) but can go into the tens of thousands for large companies so this is something that needs to be considered. You can contact the organisers for an exact price for your company to enter.

“Boost can manage the compilation of the often extensive supporting materials, conduct pre-surveys to understand your current employee engagement levels, and of course add our expertise to the written entry.”

Please see below for our full list of workplace rankings, company league tables and indices. To keep the list manageable we have not included financial performance rankings or more niche industry league tables, but we do also have many of these in our database. 
We also have a guide to some of the most popular schemes like The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies and Great Place to Work.
