Spencer Group has reaffirmed its status as one of the construction industry’s leading employers after being named as the Best Place to Work – Large Firm in the prestigious Construction News (CN) Workforce Awards.
The Hull-based multi-disciplinary construction and engineering specialist was recognised for its commitment to fostering an environment where employees feel listened to, mental health is prioritised and colleagues are supported to progress.
Colleagues from the business were presented with the accolade during a glittering gala evening at the luxurious JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London. It brings Spencer Group’s awards count to seven so far this year.
In an era where the UK construction industry is facing significant challenges, the CN Workforce Awards aim to recognise and celebrate the dedication and innovation of the sector’s workforce and provide a prestigious platform to showcase business achievements and commitment to excellence.
The accolade is the second time this year that Spencer Group has been recognised with a national industry award for its commitment to employee wellbeing, after also being named Best Place to Work – Contractor in the prestigious New Civil Engineer Awards in July.
Spencer Group impressed the CN Awards judges with its commitment to employee wellbeing, delivered through unique initiatives that go beyond traditional workplace offerings to promote greater employee care and work-life balance.
Spencer Group HR Director Yvonne Moir said: “Spencer Group is committed to being an outstanding employer and we wholeheartedly believe that our people are key to our success.
“We invest in employee wellbeing and progression because we’re passionate about creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
“We’re delighted that our efforts have been recognised in the Construction News Workforce Awards, but, even more importantly, we’re encouraged by our regular staff survey results that show that our people feel listened to, cared for and inspired when they come to work.”
The awards judges said: “Spencer Group demonstrated a sophisticated and mature approach to employee wellbeing across mental, physical, and financial dimensions. The leadership team’s strong commitment and investment in people has created a genuine sense of family and belonging.
“We were particularly impressed by their active listening, tangible action, and innovative approaches. Their integrated Corporate Social Responsibility activities and continuous improvement culture reflect a truly forward-thinking and people-centred organisation.”
