The Best Companies 2024 rankings recognise the West Midlands employer as a leading UK manufacturer.

This year, Totalkare’s overall ranking was elevated to ‘Outstanding’ — a step up from the previous ‘Very Good’ status — following the success of the company’s recent b-Heard employee engagement survey. Totalkare also earned the distinction of being the #20 Best Company (of any size) to Work for in the West Midlands. The b-Heard survey assessed employee engagement across a range of factors, aligning results with Best Companies’ Eight Factors of Workplace Engagement.

Key findings from the survey reflect Totalkare’s culture of collaboration and social responsibility:

• 93% of employees are happy with their work life balance

• 92% of employees feel proud to work for Totalkare

• 89% of employees feel the management team actively listens to feedback from the wider business

The recognition came as part of the Best Companies 2024 'Big Reveal', where Totalkare’s HR manager, Jack Webb, spoke with BBC’s Sally Nugent about the company’s approach to employee engagement, wellbeing and about our RULE initiative, which aims to foster a deeper cross-departmental understanding across the business.

Totalkare CEO David Hall said: “We have always strived to foster a positive culture, and it’s fantastic to see this reflected in our staff feedback and high rankings in Best Companies. Competing alongside some of the largest employers across sectors in the West Midlands, this achievement showcases our commitment to employee wellbeing and a balanced work-life environment.”

Totalkare’s focus on enhancing employee experience continues to be a priority, with recent office expansions, improved pension schemes, gym access, and regular social events. “Our engagement rate has grown each quarter, and we’re dedicated to enhancing these benefits even further,” added Hall.
