The survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics ranging from talent acquisition to colleague wellbeing. The topic score breakdown shared by the Top Employers Institute revealed that BNP Paribas Personal Finance UK scored over 80% across all 20 areas and 100% in seven topic areas: Ethics & Integrity, Business Strategy, Organisation & Change, Digital HR, Performance, Engagement and Purpose & Values.

“These employers have always shown that they care for the development and well-being of their people. By doing so, they collectively enrich the world of work. We are proud to announce and celebrate this year’s group of leading people-oriented employers: the Top Employers 2023.”
