Civo has been recognised as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2025, a prestigious accolade that celebrates organisations across the UK that excel in employee engagement, wellbeing, and culture.
The award is based on WorkL’s six key pillars for measuring employee engagement: Reward and Recognition, Instilling Pride, Information Sharing, Empowerment, Wellbeing, and Job Satisfaction. Each of these values is foundational to how Civo operates, and reflects the impact of its people-first approach.
To be successfully accredited, companies must achieve a minimum 70% overall engagement score, calculated through 26 questions in the WorkL employee survey framework. Civo exceeded this threshold, earning its place among the top-scoring UK organisations in the small business category.
“We’ve built Civo around a culture of trust, creativity, and inclusion. From offering a four-day work week and uncapped holidays, to fostering a no-blame environment where staff are trusted and accountable, we believe great products start with a great place to work. This award isn’t just a badge, it’s a testament to the environment our team continues to shape every day. - Mark Boost, CEO of Civo”
Civo’s workplace model is designed for flexibility and growth. Employees enjoy:
