What a positive note to end the year on! We’re proud to announce that not only have we won Employer of the Year at the Sussex Business Awards, but we’ve also been certified by Great Place to Work!
“Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue and increased innovation.”
We’ve worked diligently to implement policies and initiatives at Arke that benefit both our team and the wider community. From our flexible working policies designed to allow team members time to attend appointments during the week, to our volunteer day scheme, which provides everyone with extra time to support causes they care about, we are committed to making a difference. We also actively support charities such as CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and have proudly become an Endometriosis Friendly Employer through Endometriosis UK.
At Arke, we are proud to foster a culture where employees are encouraged to provide feedback and suggest new policies. This culture ensures that everyone feels supported and safe while also promoting collaboration, motivation, and inspiration. In fact, on our Great Place to Work survey, 100% of our team reported that Arke is a great place to work, far exceeding the national average of 54%!
Receiving recognition for our workplace culture at both regional and national levels is a testament to the dedication and hard work that have shaped our seven years at Arke. We are incredibly proud to support impactful charities and initiatives, such as CALM and Endometriosis UK, while cultivating a supportive and inclusive environment for our team.
We’re so proud of these achievements, but this is only the start of our journey! This has been a wonderful way to end 2024, and we’re excited for all the new initiatives and projects to come in 2025.
“I’m over the moon that Arke has won Employer of the Year at the Sussex Business Awards and achieved the Great Place to Work certification. The team were instrumental in the changes we made and embraced this year, and I can’t thank them enough for their openness to feedback and honesty when giving it.
A special big thank you to our Senior Operations Executive, Elif Bekler, for leading the way with a number of big projects this year and to our Managing Director, Alex Watson, for helping steer the vision and direction.”
– Steph Noble, Founder & CEO
“I’ve been at Arke for just over 3 years now and to be able to see us grow and develop into the company we are today has been amazing. To be recognised as Employer of the Year by the Sussex Business Awards and as a Great Place to Work by 100% of our team has been a real reflection of the hard work and investment that Steph, our CEO, and Alex, our MD, have put into the company this year, just happy to have been able to be a part of the process! So so proud of the Arkenauts and I’m really looking forward to everything to come next year!”
– Elif Bekler, Senior Operations Executive
