This accolade is a testament to our collaborative culture and the passion, energy, and care our people bring to work every day. Whether it’s through professional development, personal support, or creating space for bold ideas, we continually evolve to make Accord a place where everyone feels respected and encouraged to give their very best every day.

The insights from this year’s survey will inform and influence our culture and wellbeing initiatives going forward. By actively listening to and responding to what our people want and need, we will continue to create an agency culture that’s ambitious, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable to be part of.

What the Best Companies Accreditation means

Best Companies is a leading employee engagement specialist, and their accreditation programme is recognised as the standard for workplace engagement. The programme uses a data-driven methodology to score organisations, based on feedback from employees on eight workplace factors including leadership, personal growth, wellbeing and fair deal.

At Accord, over 90% of our team completed the survey, reflecting how invested our people are in shaping a supportive and inspiring workplace. Plus, this year, every response had an extra impact as we donated to Dementia UK for each completed survey.

Maria Payne, Managing Director at Accord Marketing, commented:

“This recognition means so much because it comes directly from our team. Their honest feedback helps us grow and stay true to our values of transparency, agility, diversity, curiosity, and collaboration. I’m proud of the culture we’ve built together and excited about what’s next. If you’re looking for a place where people come first and great work follows, you’ll find it here at Accord.”
