Kori Construction has been acknowledged in The Sunday Times as one of the Best Places to Work, recognised for having consistently high levels of employee experience and wellbeing – for the second year in a row.
The official list was published on 23 May 2025 by The Sunday Times in partnership with the leading employee experience platform, WorkL.
This nationwide workplace survey honours and celebrates the UK’s top employers – which number over 500 organisations across industries and sizes – and acknowledges the best workplaces for women, LGBTQIA+ community, disabled employees, ethnic minorities, younger and older workers, and wellbeing.
How the survey works
The Sunday Times partnered with employee-experience platform WorkL to deliver fresh insights into what makes a Best Place to Work. The awards uses 26 questions from WorkL’s employee engagement survey, developed by behavioural scientists, data analysts, psychologists, business leaders, academics and other independent parties to most accurately monitor employee engagement, wellbeing and discretionary effort in the workplace. To achieve a high overall engagement score, an organisation must score well across WorkL’s six-step framework including Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing, and Job Satisfaction.
Lord Mark Price, Founder of WorkL, said: “Many Congratulations to the 2025 Sunday Times Best Places to Work, powered by WorkL. The recognised organisations lead the way in employee experience and will now benefit from improved retention and recruitment for the year ahead. WorkL is proud to power these awards and support organisations to measure employee experience and to retain and recruit the very best employees.”
Zoe Thomas, editor of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work, said: “The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list is the UK’s biggest survey of employee engagement, compiled in partnership with workplace expert WorkL. Spanning a raft of sectors and located throughout the UK, the organisations in this year’s list range from innovative start-ups with a handful of employees to big multinational corporations staffed by thousands. These organisations know that happy employees are the superpower helping them thrive.”
Jordan Connachie, Managing Director of Kori Construction, said: “Excellent work by our team to be recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025 for the second year in a row! We prioritise staff satisfaction, wellbeing, and career development, so it’s an honour to be recognised by WorkL For Business and The Times for our commitment to creating an exceptional working environment. Once again, a huge thank you to our hardworking employees for their efforts in helping us to always deliver the exceptional.”
