NHS Business Services Authority named as one of the UK’s best companies to work for

NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has made it to six Best Companies to Work For lists at the ‘Best Companies Live’ accolades on Friday (May 21).

It has been named as one of the UK’s 25 Best Big Companies to Work For, placing 17th, as well as one of the 5 Best Not-for-Profits to work for.


The news came a year after the NHSBSA was highly accredited by Best Companies for its outstanding commitment to workplace engagement.

Best Companies’ annual survey helps employees to share their say about the organisation and help employers understand what the organisation is doing well and what it might be able to do better.

Michael Brodie, the chief executive at NHSBSA, said: “When I was appointed chief executive in September 2019, I made a commitment that the NHSBSA would become an even greater place to work, where people could give and be their best."

Thanking everyone who works for NHSBSA he added: "It is our employees who have created this environment, a culture where people can give their best. They have been supportive of colleagues and taken care of each other. They have also continued to deliver for customers, the wider NHS and for the taxpayer - all in pursuit of our purpose to be a catalyst for better health.”

NHSBSA’s achievements goes even further where it has excelled in four other regional categories--regional list for the North East (placed 28th), regional list for Yorkshire and the Humber (placed 57th), regional list for the South East (placed 46th) and regional list for the North West (placed 93rd.)
