International B2B marketing specialist Fifth Ring has been certified as a Great Place to Work™ - the most respected workplace accreditation, in recognition of the company’s positive and supportive culture and commitment to staff learning and development.

The certification provides a globally recognised and research-backed verification of an overall great employee experience at Fifth Ring, and is based entirely on what employees say, with 93% of respondents saying they were proud to tell people they worked for the company.

Great Place To Work® is the international authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

Fifth Ring, an Aberdeen-headquartered agency with locations in the Americas, Europe and Asia, took part in the comprehensive two-step certification process earlier this year to ensure employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated.

The process included surveying employees and inviting them to complete a detailed questionnaire about the workplace. The outcome was then determined by employee feedback and independent analysis of the scores.

Fifth Ring founder and CEO, Ian Ord, said: “Winning this award is testament to our commitment to creating a culture of excellence where every team member feels valued and inspired. It's not just about being a great place to work, it's about being a place where people truly love to work, and creating an environment that attracts the very best talent to join us.”

This year, Fifth Ring has expanded and strengthened its team with recent promotions and appointments and this continues with current recruitment.

Ian continued: “At Fifth Ring, we believe in helping our clients own their market space – this belief is also reflected in our support towards helping every team member realise their potential and take pride in being part of our workplace. This certification shows we have a clear purpose and reinforces our company’s mission, vision and values.

“We achieve significant results for a multitude of global clients operating across a range of industries including energy, maritime, technology and manufacturing – we appreciate that none of this would be possible without the right employees who are genuinely satisfied and motivated.”

Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work, added: "Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience."

She emphasized that certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Fifth Ring stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."
