HubGem are incredibly proud to share that we have been named a finalist in the Best for All-round Flexibility category at the 2026 Working Families Best Practice Awards.

The awards celebrate organisations that are leading the way in creating flexible, people-first workplaces where employees can genuinely thrive - and we’re honoured to be recognised alongside so many inspiring employers.

At HubGem, flexibility has never been treated as a perk or a box-ticking exercise. It’s something we’ve intentionally built into the way we work, collaborate and support one another as a team.

As a growing business, we know that great work doesn’t come from rigid structures. It comes from creating an environment where people feel trusted, supported and empowered to do their best work, whilst also balancing life outside of work.

That looks different for everyone.

For some, it’s the flexibility to work around family commitments. For others, it’s being able to structure their day in a way that helps them work at their best. We believe high-performing teams are built through trust, autonomy and communication, not presenteeism.

Culture matters enormously to us at HubGem, and we’re passionate about creating a workplace where people feel valued not just for the work they do, but for who they are.

Being shortlisted for this award is a reflection of the culture our team helps create every day, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone across HubGem who contributes to making it such a positive place to work.

A huge congratulations to all of the finalists recognised this year - and thank you to Working Families for championing flexible, inclusive workplaces across the UK.

Winners will be announced on 30 June 2026… wish us luck 💙
