LONDON, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- UST, a leading digital transformation solutions company, announced it has been recognized under 'UK's Best WorkPlacestm 2021' by Great Place to Work^® UK. UST has achieved the 33rd rank under the 'Large Workplaces' category among UK companies.  This achievement follows recognition in 2020 as a Great Place to Work^tm certified company (GPTW) in the United Kingdom. UST is among the 183 UK-based organizations recognized by its employees to promote a healthy workplace culture through trust, pride, and camaraderie. In addition to the Best Workplaces ranking, UST UK was also endowed with the 'Excellence in Wellbeing' award by GPTW earlier.

The GPTW certification process includes a 'Trust Index Survey' and a 'Culture Audit' by Great Place to Work. Understanding the perspective of employees is key to building a thriving work environment. To determine an organization's ranking, Great Place to Work^® administers their comprehensive employee survey representing 3/4^th of an organization's final score. The remaining quarter of the score comes from the Culture Audit^® - a business-driven questionnaire that uncovers and evaluates the organization's HR and leadership practices, policies, and culture.

Despite an incredibly challenging year and a half for businesses, UST continued to sustain its award-winning culture. In addition to the GPTW certification, UST was ranked number 10 among 82 in 'Top Employers in the UK' 2021 by the 'Top Employers Institute (TEI)'. While UST was named a Top Employer 2021 in Eight Countries, the company was also recognized by Great Place to Worktm in India, UK, and the US. The company was also honored with a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award, for being one of the Top 100 Best Places to Work in 2020.
