Last updated: Friday, 19 January 2024

ScotRail has once again been recognised as a Top Employer in the United Kingdom, marking the fifth consecutive time the operator has been recognised with the accolade.

Being certified as a Top Employer showcases an organisation’s dedication to a better world of work.

The Top Employers Institute programme certifies organisations based on the participation and results of its HR Best Practices Survey.

This survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Wellbeing and more.   

The programme has certified and recognised more than 2,300 Top Employers in 121 countries and regions across five continents. 

Julie Dale, ScotRail HR Director, said:

“For ScotRail to be recognised, for the fifth time, as a Top Employer is a clear demonstration of our commitment to our people.

“Indeed, our success reflects the dedication and hard work of colleagues from across the business who continue striving for excellence in delivering a customer-focussed service to benefit the people and communities of Scotland.

“This is a proud moment for us all to enjoy and celebrate but, one too, where we can ask ourselves what is next and how can we continue improving the experiences of our people.”

David Plink, Top Employers Institute CEO, said:

“Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organisations. We have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Programme this year: exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2024.

“These employers have always shown that they care for the development and well-being of their people.

“By doing so, they collectively enrich the world of work. We are proud to announce and celebrate this year’s group of leading people-oriented employers: the Top Employers 2024.”
