Phoebus has improved its position in the Best Companies Index, moving up the rankings to take a top 25 spot in the technology sector.

Phoebus is the 16th best technology company to work for in the UK and was also ranked 28th best company overall for the West Midlands.

About 1,000 companies take part in the Best Companies Index and Phoebus was placed as the 42nd best mid-sized company to work for in the whole country.

The Solihull-based technology firm is a financial software provider offering technology services to banks, building societies, lenders and third-party servicers.

Kate Langton (pictured), chief people office at Phoebus, attended the Best Companies televised live event in Media City, Salford and took part in a panel discussion hosted by television presenter Dan Walker. The event focussed on all aspects of managers and how this impacts engagement levels of colleagues and organisations. Langton was asked to share best practice at the event regarding how Phoebus recognises colleagues in the business.

She talked about how Phoebus wishes to celebrate success and say thank you throughout the year to colleagues with various award schemes in place and social events. The firm also has shout out boards as well as more formal 1:1s and reviews for career progression.

Langton said: “Phoebus is a growing company and our colleagues are at the heart of the business, which is reflected in our rankings in the Best Companies Index. We are proud to be in the line up with so many other excellent companies and to achieve the highest places to date in the league tables.”
