Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has announced that it has been awarded Top Employer status by the Top Employers Institute for a ninth consecutive year
The company has not only retained this globally recognised certification but has also achieved its highest score to date, with an impressive 95%. This achievement is testament to the ongoing commitment of Konica Minolta to create an environment in which all its people are engaged and feel empowered to make a real difference, both within the company and the wider community.
Top Employers is a globally recognised accreditation that enables organisations to assess their current workplace environment with particular focus on HR practices and processes. This includes learning and development offerings, overall employee experience, how a company approaches recognition, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, and reward and benefits, assessing them against robust criteria. Only those organisations who meet that criteria are accredited with Top Employer status.
Gemma Lee, Chief People Officer at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd states: “We’re extremely proud of receiving our 2026 accreditation. We take great pride in bringing new initiatives and opportunities to our people and are incredibly proud of how they are embraced. Being certified by the Top Employers Institute represents a big achievement and doing so nine years in a row is testament to all employees at Konica Minolta.”
The company provides a wealth of opportunities for its team of approximately 600 people at every stage of their career and across all departments. Examples include apprenticeships and training programmes that nurture talent, as well as creating pathways for employees to develop their skills within their current role and to transition to other areas within the business.
In addition to various development programmes and support for individuals, Konica Minolta also operates popular Employee Network Groups (ENGs) which provide education and help to drive change throughout the organisation. The five ENGs groups are Balance which is focused on gender equality; Vibrant for the LGBTQ+ community; Prism which provides support and education around neurodiversity; Unity in Diversity to celebrate race and culture, and the Impact social impact group.
Every employee also receives a dedicated workday each year for volunteering, giving them the freedom to support causes they are personally passionate about - whether that’s environmental conservation, youth mentoring, community outreach, or charity fundraising.
Having a robust people plan is key to the success of any organisation. Despite being accredited through Top Employers for 2026, the team at Konica Minolta know this doesn’t mean they can stop looking at ways to improve the employee experience for all of their people. They continue to look at the feedback from the programme, as well as their own internal listening mechanisms, giving them a rounded view of how their people experience working with them, and continue to evolve and develop the strategy going forward.
