BHP has been ranked the second-best accountancy firm to work for in the UK, and the 35th best company to work for across Yorkshire and the Humber, in the Best Companies survey 2021.
The independent accountancy firm, which has offices across Yorkshire and North Derbyshire, is made up of over 350 professionals and 37 partners working across a wide-range of specialities including audit and assurance, consulting, corporate finance and taxation.
BHP is committed to the wellbeing of its people with flexible working patterns and an emphasis on the importance of digital downtime. The firm also has a variety of wellbeing initiatives including a digital health channel, staff wellness days, and online interactive sessions for things like mindfulness, yoga and Pilates.
The company focuses on developing talent and offers extensive training opportunities which go beyond professional qualifications, including a three tier Management Development programme.
The Best Companies survey covers leading businesses across Britain and Northern Ireland to identify the best workplaces across the UK. Employees are invited to anonymously complete the survey by answering questions on wellbeing, pay and benefits, personal growth, corporate culture, and more.
Lisa Leighton, Joint Managing Partner at BHP, said: “Attracting and retaining the best people is critical to our future success. This annual survey is one of the key tools we use to understand what we need to keep doing, but more importantly how we can hopefully make the firm an even better place to work in the future.
“At BHP we do everything we can to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our employees, whether that’s allowing flexibility for a better work-life balance or encouraging people to turn off their emails out-of-hours for some digital downtime, to ensure they stay happy.
“The care and support the team have shown one another throughout the last 12 months is one of the themes that comes out in the responses and has been fantastic to see happening. This ranking is an absolutely incredible achievement, and demonstrates that our staff are proud to be part of BHP.”
