Stiltz Homelifts achieves 2026 Great Place To Work certification
Homelift specialist Stiltz Homelifts, which is headquartered in Kingswinford, West Midlands, has announced that the company has been certified by Great Place To Work.
The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Stiltz. This year, when surveyed, an impressive 75 per cent of employees said it’s a great place to work – 21 points higher than the average UK company.
Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work, commented: “Great Place To Work certification is a highly coveted achievement requiring consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,.”
Sarah emphasises 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 Stiltz Homelifts stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
Tara Lochery, Stiltz Homelifts’ Group People Director, who has been the driving force behind the initiative, is delighted. Tara commented: “Since joining Stiltz mid 2023, one of my primary objectives has been the employee experience.
“We have worked tirelessly to develop a strong and positive wellness culture where there is genuine care for our customers, and for each other.
“Regular employee satisfaction surveys have been undertaken, but due to our growth, both in terms of group turnover and headcount in the UK, we felt it was time to formalize the process and so partnered with Great Place To Work.
“The certification acknowledges the way everyone in the business has responded to making Stiltz this great place to work and earning us such a prestigious recognition – we thank them all for their dedication”.
According to Great Place To Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a certified great workplace.
Additionally, employees at certified workplaces are 93 per cent more likely to look forward to coming to work, and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
Last year, Stiltz Lifts helped to fit a life-changing lift into a tiny terrace in Swansea for BBC’s DIY SOS television programme.
