Slimming World is an Inspiring Workplace
Slimming World has been named as one of the most inspiring workplaces in the UK and Ireland at a prestigious awards ceremony.
The UK and Ireland’s leading weight management organisation, which has its 500-strong headquarters in Alfreton, Derbyshire – just a short distance from where its very first weight loss group was held nearly 55 years ago – was a winner at the 2024 Inspiring Workplaces Awards.
It was the only weight loss brand recognised within the top 50 organisations. The workplaces were judged on a range of criteria, including culture and purpose, leadership, inclusion and employee experience.
The judges’ notes said: “This is clearly an organisation with a clear purpose and heritage that is lived throughout the business.”
We know our people are our very greatest asset and we trust, believe and invest in them.
Lisa Dobbs, Director of Support Services at Slimming World, collected the award with a number of colleagues at a Gala Dinner at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. She said: “It might sound immodest but it’s no surprise to us to be named as one of the UK and Ireland’s most inspiring workplaces – because we know Slimming World is a brilliant place to work!
“Slimming World has always invested in people's development and its success has been built on the loyalty and commitment of staff, many of whom have worked for the company for most of their working lives.
“We know our people are our very greatest asset and we trust, believe and invest in them. We enjoy a range of benefits at our head office all aimed at helping us to enjoy a happy and healthy working life, from delicious, healthy meals at subsidised prices in our top-quality restaurant to an on-site gym and fitness classes, a healthcare plan and an option of 12-weeks’ free Slimming World membership each year.
“We pride ourselves on having a caring, performance-orientated culture – we’re all motivated to do a great job and provide excellent service to our 3,500 Consultants and 700,000 members, and we have fun doing it too!”
Matt Manners, Founder of The Inspiring Workplaces Group, said: “As the world seems to be facing more widespread and serious challenges, it is more vital than ever for organisations (big and small) to put their people first. Fostering environments and cultures their people both believe in and want to belong to.”
