At Shaping Cloud, we're always finding fun ways to connect and bond as a team, even when working remotely. This time, we went from the confines of our virtual meetings and had a snow day at Chill Factore! From zooming down snowy hills to enjoying heartwarming conversations over delicious food, every moment was an opportunity to deepen our camaraderie. Refreshed and unified, we return to work, ready to conquer challenges and celebrate successes together. Here's to many more exhilarating adventures on the horizon! 🚀❄️ #CompanyConnect #ChillFactoreFun #WorkAndPlay

🏆 Shaping Cloud Awarded UK's Best Workplaces™ Recognition! 🏆 Shaping Cloud is proud to announce that we have been named among the top UK’s Best Workplaces 2024 List by Great Place To Work, ranking 26th overall. Our ranking was revealed at the prestigious UK’s Best Workplaces Awards at Grovesnor House in the heart of London, which are considered the ‘gold standard’ of employer awards. Independently assessed through a rigorous and unique process, those on the list have proved they have created a great workplace culture built on trust, supported by innovative people management practices. Achieving our position in the SME category fills us with pride as we're officially acknowledged for our commitment to inclusion, quality, and growth. To compile the UK’s Best Workplaces List, Great Place To Work analysed confidential employee survey feedback on trust and reaching their full human potential, as well as employees’ experiences of innovation, company values, and leadership effectiveness across departments and seniority levels. They then used these data insights to benchmark the effectiveness of companies' employee value propositions against the culture their employees actually experience. Only those businesses who achieve the highest scores after evaluation receive Best Workplaces™ status. From our anonymous employee feedback, we can see that overall our team highly commends our dedication to ongoing learning, individual growth, and the culture of knowledge exchange across our business. We’re so proud of this achievement and look forward to using the valuable insights Great Place To Work has provided us with to build on our culture and employee satisfaction.  #UKBestWorkplaces  

At Shaping Cloud, inclusivity isn’t a buzzword – it’s who we are. With 60% of our overall management being women, and 67% being executive team members and board members we are proud to say that inclusive is what we stand for. This International Women’s Day, we leaned in at a companywide workshop with our Shapers to see how we could #InspireInclusion. Here’s what we learned: • Allyship is more than a word; it’s about advocating! Speak up for women who may otherwise be overlooked. • Our experiences shape how we come to work. Marginalised women have to constantly think about how they show up and how they will be perceived. At Shaping Cloud we work to break unconscious bias patterns and create a safe space for everyone.  • Gratitude is our compass! Whether it be our partners, mums, or even the influential women we admire, their impact is immense. Let’s spread the thanks! Shaping Cloud makes a great effort to make sure all women feel included! We thrive when everyone feels safe and accepted. To #InspireInclusivity is to make it a part of our day-to-day lives. Here’s how us Shapers are inspiring inclusivity. What do you pledge? #InspireInclusion #IWD2024 #IWD #WomensHistoryMonth #InternationalWomensDay2024
