Train operator named top employer again

East Midlands Railway has been certified as one of the UK’s top employers for the sixth consecutive year.

The firm has been officially recognised by the Top Employers Institute as a Top Employer 2022.

Organisations certified as Top Employers are recognised for their commitment to providing the best working environment for employees and helping them to develop and progress.

Despite the challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic brought throughout 2020/21, EMR was measured against the same high standards as previous years, benchmarking company practices against other top performers across the country.

Kate Holden, HR director at EMR, said: “We are delighted to be one of the few companies to be officially recognised as a leading employer in the UK.

“At EMR we are committed to attracting and developing an excellent and diverse workforce.

“Working with Top Employers and being accredited for the sixth consecutive year is a real credit to the organisation and our people, showcasing all of the hard work that happens behind the scenes in helping us to achieve this standard and to equip our people with the right skills for a sustainable future.”
