Exeter College one of the best to work for

Ranked 4th in not-for-profit category

Exeter College has officially been named as one of the ‘UK’s best large companies to work for’ in the Best Companies League Tables for Quarter 1 in 2022. Exeter College was ranked 65th in the large company list, 4th in the not-for-profit body category and 28th in the regional list.  

This ranking recognises the college’s commitment to its employees and demonstrates that they see workplace engagement as a vital part of their success. Taking part in the best companies survey gives staff another way in which to feedback and enables the college to make effective changes. 

Principal and CEO, John Laramy CBE said: “As a college, we recognise that our staff are our most valuable asset, therefore for them to place us in three Best Companies lists for Quarter 1 is a brilliant accolade for the college, especially given the challenges of the pandemic.

"We aim to use the feedback from our staff, in the best companies analysis to become a truly exceptional employer where all our staff thrive, feel valued and enjoy what they do.” 

This top 100 UK ranking is based on a staff survey at the college measuring eight factors such as leadership, personal growth and giving something back. 

Gemma Noble, director of people and organisational development at Exeter College said: “We are incredibly proud of our staff and everything they achieve. It is fantastic to be placed by them in these three 2022 Best Companies lists for Quarter 1. Our aim is to keep listening and enhancing how and what we do here at the college in order that we can be the very best employer we can.” 

One of the key strengths in the survey, highlighted by Exeter College staff, was ‘my team’. Meaning staff rated questions relating to their teams and collaboration highly.  

Exeter College congratulates all those organisations who have made the national, regional and sector Q1 lists.
