Newsweek recently announced their annual rankings for the Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list, and we are delighted that Bedford Consulting was ranked #92. The 2023 Global Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® is the newest list in the Most Loved Workplace® collaboration with the Best Practice Institute (BPI), a leadership development and benchmark research company.

The results were determined after surveying more than 2 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 30 to more than 10,000. The list recognises companies that put respect, caring, and appreciation for their employees at the centre of their business model and, in doing so, have earned the loyalty and respect of the people who work for them.

“We are delighted to have been recognised as a Global Most Loved Workplace® for 2023. This ranking is a special recognition for our team and testament to our commitment to creating a positive and supportive work environment where our people can thrive. Our intention is to ensure Bedford remains an open, safe and supportive environment for people to work, a place where they can feel empowered to progress in their careers in the way that they want. We will continue to prioritise our people, knowing that their happiness and satisfaction are key drivers of our success.” Cathal Doyle, CEO

Bedford Consulting has been certified as a certified Most Loved Workplace® for being a close-knit organisation with values at the core of its DNA. Bedford Consulting prides itself on the togetherness and relationships across the team. The Bedford Consulting employees rate the company as great place for people to work, with an inclusive culture and a clear vision for the future. A fun and supportive environment where people feel like they can develop in their careers in the way that they want.

How positive workers feel about their future at the company, career achievement, how much employer values align with employee values, respect at all levels, and the level of collaboration at the firm were the five critical areas measured to gauge employee sentiment. In addition, areas such as inclusion, diversity, equity and belonging, career development, and company leadership were identified and analysed in relation to the five critical areas measured.

“While workplace dynamics continue to evolve, the power of a positive culture remains constant,” says Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief of Newsweek. “The companies featured on the 2023 Global Most Loved Workplaces® list embody this transformative spirit, proving that when companies prioritise their people, success naturally follows.” –

“Since our initial publication of the Most Loved Workplaces® List in 2021, the workplace landscape has undergone a significant transformation, including shifts like Return to Office, Hybrid Work, The Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and Layoffs, among others,” says Most Loved Workplace® Founder and CEO Louis Carter. “Throughout these changes, the crucial element consistently tied to the success of a Most Loved Workplace® culture, which attracts and motivates exceptional talent, is cultivating positive and more meaningful connections between companies and employees. This year’s featured companies on the Most Loved Workplace® list exemplify this principle, even globally.”

Methodology

To identify the top 100 companies for the Newsweek ranking, companies were evaluated and scored as follows: 35 percent of the initial score was based on responses to BPI’s proprietary Love of Workplace survey. Another 25 percent was derived from analysis of external public ratings from sites such as Comparably, Careerbliss, Glassdoor, Indeed and Google. The final 40 percent came from direct interviews with and written responses from company officials. Newsweek then conducted additional research into every company on the list, as well as the top runners-up, to determine the final list of 100 companies and their rankings.
