Wellbeing

My Manager

76% of staff agreed

I feel that my manager talks openly and honestly with me

Fair Deal

47% of staff agreed

I feel I receive fair pay for the responsibilities I have in my job

The company continues to see considerable growth in the business through acquisitions. However, this means that it has inherited a lack of female representation at all levels. To tackle this, Ontic employed 30 new starters, of which 17 were female, and it has seen increased numbers of women joining its Early Careers Programme.

Quote from the top...

I'm delighted that Ontic has been recognized through Best Companies as a great place to work. Ultimately, we're a fast growing company that is determined to ensure we have a thriving culture in which people feel valued and can give their best. We try hard not to be too 'top down' as an organization. Instead, we focus on putting the mechanisms in place to give our teams the time and space to decide upon the right solutions that support their life at work, which can differ across all our locations. Our people really care about what they do, the company and the people they work with and this comes across as soon as you walk in the door.
