What it means to be a Most Loved Workplace

Oxford has been officially named one of Newsweek's Top 100 Most Loved Global Workplaces, ranking at number 34 out of 100 companies worldwide.

More Than Just a Number

This recognition represents matters more than the ranking itself. It's a reflection of something we've been building together for years, a workplace where people genuinely want to be.

It began with our initial application, followed by in-depth interviews and comprehensive internal surveys and concluded with the validation of the Newsweek team. Our values, leadership approach, and the genuine care we show one another truly set us apart.

What Makes a Most Loved Workplace?

The standards for this recognition aren't taken lightly. As Jennifer H. Cunningham, Global Editor in Chief at Newsweek, explains: "As we mark five years of recognizing the world's Most Loved Workplaces®, it's an honour to spotlight companies that place employee well-being at the centre of their culture."

Louis Carter, Founder & CEO of the Best Practice Institute, adds: "This year's companies show what's possible when leaders turn employee sentiment into strategy. These cultures, built on trust, purpose, and collaboration are ones people don't want to leave."

These words resonate with us because they capture what we experience every day at Oxford. It's not about grand gestures or elaborate perks - it's about the fundamental respect, trust, and collaboration that shapes how we work together.

Looking Forward

While we're taking a moment to celebrate this achievement, we're also looking ahead. Culture isn't something you build once and then maintain, it's something that evolves with every interaction, every decision, and every new person who joins our team.

We're excited about what comes next and grateful for the foundation we've built together - here's to continuing to create a workplace that people don't just work at, but truly belong to.
