HARROGATE-based vehicle leasing broker, Synergy Car Leasing, has been recognised as one of the UK’s best workplaces in the prestigious Best Companies survey for 2024. The company has achieved a two-star accreditation, demonstrating outstanding levels of employee engagement.
Synergy runs the b-Heard Employee Engagement Survey to improve engagement, build stronger teams, effective managers and a happier working life.
The car and van leasing broker, with a 45-strong team, says it continues to look for ways to improve employee satisfaction, and has recently introduced a People’s Forum to allow team members from all departments to help build an inclusive and engaged workplace.
“The Best Companies engagement survey is an important insight into how we can continue to build a great environment for all our people. We’re delighted with our two Star accreditation, which is really a testament to our exceptional team who make Synergy such an enjoyable and successful place to work.”

It also helps feed into our continuous improvement programme to deliver further developments within our workplace to support our great team of people.”
