Elephants Don’t Forget Earns Great Place to Work Certification

We are proud to announce that Elephants Don’t Forget can officially consider itself a Great Place To Work! 

We have been certified by the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviours – Great Place To Work UK. Founded on 30 years of groundbreaking research and data, GPTW measure employee experience through three key dimensions: trust, pride, and camaraderie. 

As one of the only certifying bodies to exclusively use anonymous employee feedback, our GPTW certification is all the more meaningful to us at Elephants Don’t Forget. 

86% of our UK-based colleagues responded that they strongly agree with the statement that ‘Elephants Don’t Forget is a great place to work’. This response result is 59% higher than at a typical company. 

Dan Gray, CEO at Elephants Don’t Forget, had this to say: “This certification reflects our ongoing dedication to building an inclusive, high-trust workplace culture. We commit to several core herd behaviours in our conduct at Elephants Don’t Forget. Those are honesty, curiosity, effort and consistency, and we’ve seen this echoed back in our survey results. In doing this exercise with GPTW, we’ve also identified a new foundational behaviour that we intend to add to our strengths, and that is collaboration. 

To get a true measure of a workplace, whether you’re looking at competence or culture, we understand that the real measure needed here is engagement. So, we’re incredibly proud that we hit GPTW’s threshold for high participation, with 88% of our people sharing their open, candid feedback. That tells us that what we’re seeing is a genuine reflection of the sentiments across the organisation, not just a happy handful.  

The Management Team are incredibly thankful to all the talented team members who consistently contribute to making Elephants Don’t Forget a great workplace.” 

As well as being a Certified Great Place To Work, Elephants Don’t Forget have met the eligibility thresholds for GPTW’s Best Workplace Lists for 2026.  

We are proud to say that we are being considered for: UK’s Best Workplaces for Wellbeing and UK’s Best Workplaces for Women
