The 2026 UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ was launched this morning by Great Place To Work® UK, with Borders College placed 48th out of 100 large-sized organisations.
The UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ rankings include organisations that have succeeded in helping their employees to experience high levels of wellbeing in their workplace.
To compile the prestigious list, Great Place To Work culture experts analysed thousands of employee surveys, assessing their holistic experiences of wellbeing at work through fundamental facets of employee wellbeing, including work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, and financial security.
Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.
Pete Smith, Principal of Borders College, said:
"We are incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™. This achievement reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a culture where our staff feel valued, supported, and empowered to flourish both personally and professionally.
At Borders College, we believe that wellbeing is at the heart of success, and this recognition highlights the collective efforts of our entire team in fostering a positive, inclusive, and supportive working environment. It is an honour to be recognised alongside such respected organisations and to know that our commitment to wellbeing is having a meaningful impact on the lives of our people."
Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place To Work UK, said:
"Creating a culture of wellbeing requires deliberate leadership, strong values and consistent action that puts people first. The UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing™ List recognises organisations that take a genuinely holistic approach to supporting their people, across mental, physical and financial health, as well as fostering a strong sense of belonging.”
