Our Journey to Becoming One of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Tech 2024

We were recently recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in Tech 2024 by Great Place To Work (GPTW) UK! This award follows our recent accolade as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development 2024 and marks our third consecutive year of being certified as a Great Place to Work UK.

As an established Microsoft Specialist Partner in Data and AI,  we owe our success to our incredible team and the unique culture we have built together. To celebrate this achievement, we want to shine a spotlight on what makes Coeo a standout place to work and how we’re striving for excellence in the tech industry.

Supporting Growth

At Coeo, we create an environment where creativity, innovation, and growth are part of daily life.  Through flexible training programs, monthly lunch and learns, and dedicated time for professional development our team has the freedom to learn in ways that suit them best.  Every member of our technical team is encouraged to pursue Microsoft certifications, (we’ve collectively achieved over 122! ) – and the learning opportunities don’t stop there.  Employees across all areas can access external courses, in-house training and skills workshops on everything from public speaking skills to advanced technical topics. After receiving our recent Development award, several employees shared their personal growth journeys at Coeo—check out their stories here.

Learning From Each Other

Feedback from our GPTW survey and in-house engagement tools consistently show that our employees are learning from each other every day.  Our people are naturally curious, highly skilled, and committed to continuous improvement.  Tech is a fast-moving industry so staying on top of new developments is essential, and our team is always eager to share what they’ve learned.  As a medium-sized organisation, we have a unique advantage – Team members get to bring their ideas to life, making a real impact both within Coeo and with our clients.

Belonging and Inclusion

A strong sense of belonging and inclusion fuels creativity and innovation. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is something we’re especially proud of, and it’s an area where we earned some of our highest scores in the GPTW survey. Our colleagues are passionate about creating a welcoming environment for everyone, and many volunteer their time in employee-led groups, such as our  Neurodiversity Resource Group. This group led entirely by colleagues, is one example of how we actively support each other in creating an inclusive workplace.

Teamwork

Our collaborative spirit is evident in the projects we tackle together. We work on a broad range of exciting projects, including AI, data and analytics each offering unique challenges and rewards. These projects often require cross-functional teamwork, where team members come together to share ideas and expertise, ensuring we deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients. Respect for each person’s perspective is central to our approach, and our shared goal is always to create exceptional outcomes.

Looking Ahead

As we look to the future, our vision remains clear, to help our clients predict their future.” To achieve this, we are committed to empowering our employees to stay ahead of the curve and provide awesome client experiences. Our people are at the heart of Coeo’s success—they impress our clients, foster an amazing culture, and drive our growth. Coeo’s role is to continue supporting them and providing meaningful opportunities for their development and success.
