01/22/2025 LONDON, UK TSX, NYSE: STN
Stantec, a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting, has been named as one of the UK’s best places to work in 2025 in Glassdoor’s annual Employees’ Choice Awards. The Company features on Glassdoor’s 50 Best Places to Work on its UK Large List following a year of feedback.
Stantec’s interdisciplinary teams have grown considerably in the UK over the last year, following the acquisition of Hydrock. Leadership at Stantec is continually working to enhance employee experience and professional development at the Company, creating a community of inclusiveness complemented by its Employee Resource Group programme and people-focused culture.
From groundbreaking pumped storage hydropower schemes, nature-based solutions, and water resiliency programmes to community development, urban regeneration, and transport strategies, Stantec’s teams have a profound and increasing impact on the UK.
In the UK, the Company operates an employee assistance programme available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to support colleagues with a variety of issues including mental health, financial, and legal advice. All Stantec offices have dedicated well-being and mental health first aiders, and the business has a robust accommodation system to assist colleagues who are neurodivergent.
The consultancy also offers UK employees private healthcare as standard.
“This recognition, which is driven by feedback from our current and former colleagues, is down to the incredibly positive culture they have created for each other,” said Gill Blandin-Ellis, Stantec’s UK human resources director. “We are a values-driven, purpose-led business making a positive difference for communities and local environments. Our teams naturally feel rewarded from seeing the impact they’re having on the world around them, whether that’s cleaner waterways, safer streets, or more nature in urban spaces. Our role in leadership is to facilitate a supportive culture that empowers our people to reach their full potential and come up with their best ideas.”
The awards from Glassdoor are based on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback. The winners are determined using Glassdoor’s awards algorithm, and the quantity, quality, and consistency of company reviews submitted by UK-based employees. Ratings consider each of Glassdoor’s nine workplace attributes: overall company rating; career opportunities; compensation and benefits; culture and values; diversity and inclusion; senior management; work-life balance; recommendations; and business outlook.
"The Best Places to Work award is more than just recognition—it’s a trusted guide for job seekers striving to find not only a great workplace but also a better work life," said Christian Sutherland-Wong, chief executive officer at Glassdoor. "By showcasing companies where employees truly thrive, this award empowers professionals to choose employers that align with their values and priorities. It also highlights the critical role of transparency and feedback in shaping a future where work supports a fulfilling life.”
