We’re delighted to announce that we’ve won the Work-Life Balance Champion award at the 2025 VERCIDA Employer Excellence Awards. 

VERCIDA is a renowned careers site. It showcases inclusive employers who are committed to building sustainability, wellbeing, and belonging into their workforce. This award is a testament to our dedication to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment.

What this award means to us

The VERCIDA Employer Excellence Awards celebrate organisations that show exceptional commitment to creating inclusive workplaces. 

We’re thrilled to be recognised by VERCIDA for our efforts to promote a healthy work-life balance through our flexible policies. These include:

  • remote working options
  • flexible hours
  • wellness programmes. 

These initiatives have all resonated strongly with jobseekers and with our workforce. And they’re vital for our success.

Keith Hanlon-Smith, our Chief People Officer, has expressed his excitement about winning the award: ‘This is a really exciting achievement and reflects RSSB’s commitment to flexible working. We worked hard to build a culture of trust within the business, and this makes our Smart Working approach possible. 

‘Our people use their best judgement when it comes to delivering great work for our members while having the time and space they need to balance personal commitments. 

‘The fact that this has been recognised directly by VERCIDA’s readership is a real testament to the work that the team have put in.’

Our dedication to our people—and our members

At RSSB, we know that our people are our greatest asset. This award isn’t just an accolade for our policies. It’s a recognition of the hard work and dedication of our employees. 

By fostering a culture of trust and flexibility, we empower our team to achieve a harmonious balance between their professional and personal lives. This drives our success and helps us deliver exceptional value to our members.

We’re proud to be acknowledged for our efforts to promote work-life balance. And we’ll remain committed to continuing our journey towards creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace for all. 

Thank you to VERCIDA for this honour. And do stay tuned for more updates on our journey.
