At Tangent, we believe that exceptional work begins with an exceptional workplace. That’s why we’re thrilled to shed a little bit of light on what qualified us for a 3-star accreditation by Best Companies, a recognition that firmly establishes us as a world-class place to work.

Why are we writing this article? Well, self-indulgence aside, there’s also value in sharing our successes. Outside of this accreditation, this year alone we have also won Large Digital Agency Award (Prolific Champions Awards, 2024), Tech Agency of the Year (Prolific North Tech Awards, 2024) and been nominated for Best Place to Work (The Drum Awards, 2024) - so we (and clearly others out there) believe we’re doing something right.

The 3-star rating is the cherry on top of a fantastic year for our team, and is an achievement reflects the commitment, creativity, and passion of every team member at Tangent and underscores our dedication to fostering an environment where people thrive. So, how did we do it?

 

People: at the heart of Tangent

At Tangent, people are at the centre of everything we do. Over the past year, we’ve taken significant steps to nurture our team’s professional and personal growth. From welcoming 33 new hires across new global hubs in Poland, Egypt, and Pakistan to hosting our second annual all-company Hackathon, we’ve created opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and connection.

Our commitment to professional development has never been stronger, with workshops, online courses, and access to industry-leading conferences like Web Summit and KubeCon available to those who express an interest. The result? An engaged and motivated workforce, with 94% of employees reporting they feel engaged at work and 92% saying their personal values align with Tangent’s mission.

 

Planet and Purpose: building a sustainable future

As a future-ready digital agency, sustainability is integral to Tangent’s ethos. We’re proud to be on the journey toward B-Corp certification, a mission that cements our dedication to social and environmental performance. Our thought leadership on sustainable practices has reached global stages, and our carbon measurement dashboard is helping enterprise clients like Reed reduce their environmental impact.

But our commitment to purpose doesn’t stop there. We actively engage with our communities through initiatives like beach clean-ups involving team members from our Valencia office and supporting community gardening projects in London. These actions are not just good for the planet - they foster a sense of pride and purpose among our employees.

 

A thriving, future-ready culture

This 3-star accreditation from Best Companies is a testament to the vibrant and inclusive culture we’ve built at Tangent. From fostering personal and professional growth to embracing sustainability and purpose-driven innovation, we’ve created an environment where employees and clients alike can thrive.

We couldn’t be prouder of this recognition - and we plan to continue building on the success!
