10^th May 2024 – Employees love working at Xalient according to the latest Sunday Times Best Places to Work awards, revealed today. Xalient, a global leader in identity and access management (IAM), security, and network transformation solutions, was voted among the top 10 best employers in the ‘big organisations’ category of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work Awards and was also recognised in the Spotlight Award category for Best Places to Work for Women. This nationwide workplace survey, powered by WorkL, honours and celebrates Britain's top employers and acknowledges the best workplaces for women, LGBTQIA+ community, disabled employees, ethnic minorities, younger and older workers, and wellbeing.

Xalient achieved an excellent average happiness score of 92%, an excellent information sharing score of 91% and an excellent overall job satisfaction score of 93%. Additionally, Xalient scored 92% confidence in management against an industry average across the technology sector of 76%, which was also deemed to be excellent.

Commenting on the win, Annie Davies, Chief Culture Officer, Xalient said: "We are delighted to see that the investments we make in our culture are reflected in this achievement. It is further encouraging as last year we welcomed two organisations in Integral Partners in the US and Grabowsky in the Benelux region, and this exemplifies how well-aligned our cultures are and how well-matched the synergies are across our global workforce. As we continue to evolve the business, we want to see our employees flourish and we are continuing to invest in programmes that will help them develop, but most importantly we want them to stay and be part of the Xalient family.”

Xalient CEO and founder, Sherry Vaswani added, “I am so thrilled that Xalient has been recognised in these awards for a second year running and to make the top ten list in 2024. We aim to make Xalient a fantastic place to work and have introduced initiatives to strengthen the company-wide alignment and foster long-term success by unifying employees around our purpose, values and sense of belonging. This award is testimony to our commitment to our employees. Further, I am so proud that Xalient has been recognised as a great place to work for women. Women empowerment and diversity is a topic that is close to my heart as I believe that technology needs diverse thinking from people who want to change our world and the industry offers a career of endless possibilities for all.

The Sunday Times partnered with employee-experience platform WorkL to deliver fresh insights into what makes a Best Place to Work. Using 35 questions from WorkL's employee engagement survey, the awards most accurately monitored employee engagement and wellbeing in the workplace.

Chris Longcroft, EVP Publisher, The Times and The Sunday Times, said: “The Sunday Times Best Places to Work awards recognise companies that create a happier and fulfilling working environment for all, by fostering engagement from their teams, yielding great business and performance in return. Wishing all of those companies who made the grade this year many congratulations.”

Lord Mark Price, Founder of WorkL, said: “Many congratulations to this year's winners of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work, powered by WorkL. You should be very proud of your achievement of being recognised as one of the very best places to work. I have little doubt that these awards will help with both retention of your existing employees and drive recruitment of the best candidates into your organisations in the year ahead.”

This accolade comes off the back of many other significant recognitions achieved this year, with Xalient ranked among Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2024 by the Financial Times and Statista for the third consecutive year.
