Kia UK Celebrates Renewed Great Place To Work Certification
Kia UK has once again been acknowledged for its exceptional workplace environment, securing the Great Place to Work Certified™ status. This recognition stems from the positive feedback of Kia UK employees, with a remarkable 91 percent affirming that Kia UK offers a great working atmosphere. Furthermore, 82 percent of the staff consistently report positive experiences at the company. Gemma Benbow, the Head of People & Organization at Kia UK, expressed her pride in this achievement and emphasized the company's dedication to continuous improvement and adaptation to meet new challenges. A notable initiative highlighted by Benbow is the introduction of a new carers policy aimed at supporting employees who are caring for loved ones.
Employees at Kia have voiced their appreciation for the company's culture, often describing it as being part of a close-knit family.

Benedict Gautrey, Managing Director of Great Place to Work® UK, underscored the significance of focusing on employee experience as a key driver for fostering a positive workplace culture and achieving successful business outcomes.
Kia UK's commitment to creating an excellent work environment has been consistently recognized. In March 2024, the company was named one of the UK's Best Workplaces™ in the large company category, reflecting positive staff feedback on various aspects of their work life. This follows Kia UK's initial certification as a Great Place to Work™ in May 2023 and its inclusion in the 2023 Best Workplaces™ for Women list. Additionally, 12 Kia subsidiaries across Europe received Great Place to Work certification in July 2023.
