Glassdoor's Annual Best Places to Work Revealed: Anglian Water Earns #1 Spot

When employees really buy into the culture of a company and stay for long periods of time you know you’re doing something right. Add to that a friendly environment, engaging senior management teams, attractive benefits and good career development opportunities, and you have a recipe for the #1 Best Place to Work — an honour that Anglian Water has now clinched for the first time in the awards’ five years of existence in the UK.

With a Best Place To Work company rating of 4.5, Anglian Water employees are especially appreciative of working with people who really care about what they do on a daily basis, and of being led by a strong senior management team that is willing to invest heavily in its workforce.

While Anglian Water takes home the top honour this year, Glassdoor has recognised a total of 50 companies in our 2018 UK Best Places to Work Employers List (defined as more than 1,000 employees) Beyond that, we’ve also compiled Best Places to Work Lists for U.S Large Companies, U.S. Small & Medium Companies (fewer than 1,000 employees), Canada, France and Germany.
