We are thrilled to announce that Kallik has been awarded the prestigious Culture 100 Award, recognizing us as one of the UK's greatest companies to work for. This accolade recognizes our commitment to fostering a thriving workplace and is a testament to the vibrant and inclusive culture we have cultivated. The Culture 100 Award is more than just a recognition; it is a significant movement backed by world-renowned talent leaders and rigorous research, aimed at turbocharging the adoption of thriving workplaces across the UK.
At Kallik, we aspire to cultivate a culture that blends innovation, inclusivity, and impact. Our ethos revolves around pride in the meaningful work we undertake, knowing that our solutions directly influence the lives of billions worldwide through our labeling solutions. We foster an environment where collaboration flourishes, encouraging every team member to contribute their unique perspectives and ideas. Regular office events, from engaging quizzes to learning sessions on emerging topics, not only foster camaraderie but also promote continuous learning and growth.
Our CEO, Gurdip Singh, expressed his gratitude and excitement about the award: "Winning the Culture 100 Award is a remarkable achievement for Kallik. It reflects our unwavering dedication to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where every team member feels valued and respected. We believe that a thriving workplace is one where open communication, feedback, and collaboration are encouraged, and where each individual's contributions are recognized and celebrated."
Singh continued, "We want each member of our team to feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their work at Kallik. By providing opportunities for skill development and career advancement, we empower our employees to realize their full potential and take pride in their professional growth journey. In-person events such as charity days, team days, and celebrations of various cultural holidays help recognize and celebrate the cultural diversity in our team, providing an opportunity to learn and benefit from our differences."
Kallik’s Head of HR, April Carney-Dalton, emphasized the importance of community and camaraderie for mental health and teamwork: "One of the best parts about working in HR is facilitating collaboration and camaraderie. Working at Kallik has given me ample opportunity to do this and being part of our Working Group, who work hard to organise social events and activities, both in and out of the office, has been very rewarding. With a massive cultural shift towards home-working, our employees confirmed in a recent survey that they really enjoy our social activities that bring us all together. Our awareness campaigns are focused around different issues from wellbeing, addiction, finance and stress, to celebrating religious events and national and international days. As part of these events we share food (we love food!), hold quizzes, dress up (optional) and decorate our office.
“Gurdip has mentioned the various other events that we proudly participate in such as charity days and off-site team days. All of this in addition to the continued investment and efforts to ensure that our employees are skilled in their current role and are able to train and upskill themselves to enhance their career development. We were delighted to be shortlisted for the Culture 100 Award and to be announced as the winner was the icing on the cake (I said we love food!). As an SME, it is crucial that we keep remembering the importance of bringing our people together, sharing and having fun. Making this culture happen is everyone's responsibility and due to their efforts, I just feel very lucky to be a part of this.”
The type of person who thrives at Kallik is someone who is passionate, driven, and committed to making a difference. We value individuals who possess a growth mindset, a thirst for knowledge, and a willingness to embrace challenges as opportunities for learning and development. To attract and support such talent, we prioritize creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcomed and empowered to succeed. We offer competitive compensation, opportunities for professional growth, and a supportive work environment that promotes creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
"We actively promote and share publicly how we build a healthy and thriving company culture," Singh added. "Through our social media channels and press releases, we share our staff days participating in charity events, regular in-office celebration days, monthly awareness campaigns, and our sponsorship of Sophie Ecclestone, a leading England Women's international cricketer. Celebrating diversity in sport and overall world-class performance in your profession aligns perfectly with how we see culture, teaming, and the important value of our people at Kallik."
This award underscores our commitment to continuous improvement, where every individual at Kallik is empowered to make a difference and drive positive change within the company and beyond. We are immensely proud of our team and the thriving workplace we have built together. The Culture 100 Award serves as an inspiration to continue our journey towards creating an even more inclusive, innovative, and impactful work environment.
