EDF ranked in the Top 10 in The Sunday Times’ ‘Best Places to Work 2026’ for the second year running
EDF’s UK Customers Business has been ranked among the Sunday Times’ Top 10 ‘Best places to work 2026’ in the Very Big Organisation (2000+ employees) category.
The nationwide award recognises more than 500 leading employers across the UK, spanning organisations of all sizes. Rankings are based on an independent employee survey developed by WorkL assessing employee engagement, health and wellbeing and their willingness to go above and beyond. Companies are assessed against the Sunday Times’ Six Key Steps to Employee Engagement, including Reward & Recognition, Wellbeing and Empowerment. In all areas, EDF scored above the energy and utilities sector average.
With one of the highest engagement scores in its category, EDF Customers repeated its Top 10 ranking from 2025 and has reinforced its ongoing commitment to employee experience. To add to our success, EDF Customers have been awarded Highly Commended in the Best Places to Work for disabled employees.
This continued success reflects EDF’s refreshed Zero Harm approach, which recognises the equal importance of mental and physical wellbeing. Built around four key pillars - leadership, learning, prevention and enabling everyone to thrive – Zero Harm places people at the heart of EDF’s wellbeing strategy, supporting employees both in and outside the workplace.
Philippe Commaret, Managing Director of EDF Customers, commented: “To be recognised as a Top 10 Very Big Organisation in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work 2026 for the second consecutive year is a fantastic achievement and a real credit to our people. Putting our employees first and creating a supportive, inclusive environment enables us to deliver the best possible service for our customers.”
EDF’s strong performance is underpinned by consistently high levels of employee engagement and recognition, measured through Officevibe.
During the past year, 42 EDF managers have featured in the top 10% of all managers engaging with Officevibe worldwide, highlighting the strength of EDF’s employee–manager relationships. In addition, nearly 10,000 internal recognition messages were shared by colleagues through Goodvibes in Q1 of 2026 alone, placing EDF second globally among organisations using Officevibe. Together, these results reflect a culture that empowers people, recognises individual contributions and enables employees to thrive at work.
The continued engagement with and expansion of EDF’s Employee Networks has also been instrumental in fostering a supportive and welcoming workplace community. Enabling EDF’s employees to be comfortable being themselves at work not only supports their health and mental wellbeing but also ensures that EDF remains a great place to work.
