Recognition, Growth, and Impact
It’s March – the days are getting longer, the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming! Spring is here and we have much to be thankful for.
It’s been an incredible start to 2025! The first quarter has flown by in a whirlwind of recognition, innovation, and purpose-driven action that perfectly embodies our mission to deliver world-class global employment solutions while being a business for good.
This quarter has been particularly special as our commitment to creating progressive workplaces received industry-wide recognition.
We’re excited to share these achievements, along with updates on our thought leadership, team growth, and continued social impact initiatives.
Join us as we reflect on a remarkable first quarter and set the stage for even more positive change ahead.
Double Victory at Flexa Awards
We’re thrilled to announce that Peak PEO received double recognition at the Flexa Awards 2025:
🏆 1st Place – Company With the Best Work From Anywhere Scheme
🏆 2nd Place – Company With The Highest Rated Culture
This recognition validates what we’ve always believed: that treating people properly and providing genuine flexibility creates extraordinary results, with our eNPS Score reaching a phenomenal 89, and an overall 4.6/5 Satisfaction score across the entire organisation.
What makes this achievement particularly meaningful is that we competed against much larger corporations across all categories. As a fully remote team spread across multiple continents, securing second place for company culture challenges the outdated notion that strong workplace cultures can only develop in physical offices. Our CEO, Alex Voakes, shared after the event: “I hear countless conversations of people saying you lose culture being remote, well we just got recognised for ours,”
This recognition belongs to every member of the Peak team who makes our culture what it is – built on trust, purpose, and genuine care for each other and our clients.
Joining Forces with DiSRUPT for Seamless Global Talent Solutions
We are partnering up with DiSRUPT, an ethical recruitment company specialising in the building high-performance teams for clients of all shapes and sizes.
This collaboration brings together two purpose-driven businesses with complementary expertise: DiSRUPT has mastered the art of finding exceptional talent that aligns with your company’s values and culture. Meanwhile we excel at making sure those people have a seamless employment experience, handling all the contractual, payroll, and compliance headaches so you don’t have to.
Together, we’re creating a simplified end-to-end solution for businesses looking to build international teams without the administrative headaches – from identifying the right people to employing them compliantly anywhere in the world.
This partnership represents our shared commitment to bringing humanity and simplicity to global workforce solutions, because we believe exceptional people deserve exceptional experiences, no matter where they’re based.
Media Spotlight: Diana Makarska in Harper’s Bazaar
Our CFO Diana Makarska has been featured in Harper’s Bazaar discussing Peak PEO’s successful four-day work week implementation!
This prestigious women’s magazine reaches over 70,000 print readers monthly plus a massive digital audience.
In her interview, Diana highlights how our four-day model has reduced sick days, expanded our talent pool, and created a more refreshed team – all without sacrificing productivity. “The team overall is more relaxed, refreshed and appreciative now that they have more time to do what they love,” she explains.
This high-profile coverage perfectly complements our recent whitepaper on the four-day work week, positioning Peak PEO as a true thought leader in progressive workplace practices.
Congratulations Diana on this fantastic recognition of your expertise and our innovative approach!
Pioneering Progressive Work Practices
The 4-Day Work Week Revolution: Our Comprehensive Whitepaper
After successfully implementing our 4-day work week and seeing firsthand how it transforms productivity and wellbeing, we’re proud to share our learnings with the world through our newly published whitepaper: “The 4-Day Work Week Revolution: How a reduction in workdays can increase productivity, boost employee retention and fuel business growth.“
This comprehensive guide draws on our experience as one of just 200 UK-based companies operating on this progressive model. The whitepaper provides:
- A clear business case for the 4-day work week
- Real-world implementation strategies and case studies
- Practical solutions to common challenges
- Future-focused insights on workplace evolution
We believe that progressive workplace practices benefit both employees and business outcomes. This whitepaper is our contribution to helping more organisations reimagine work and create environments where people and businesses thrive together.
Featured in Flexa’s Evolution of Work Report
We’re also honoured to be highlighted in Flexa’s influential Evolution of Work Report alongside other forward-thinking companies reshaping the future of work.
Our decade-long commitment to flexibility received particular attention, with Flexa noting our fundamental belief: “Trust people with their work, and they’ll do their best work.” This philosophy has helped us achieve an impressive 98% score for accomplishing our missions.
This feature reinforces our position as a thought leader in creating workplace environments where exceptional performance naturally follows from a foundation of trust and respect. You can download it here: https://lnkd.in/ewANgH9Z
TeamHub Refinements
Our commitment to creating exceptional global employment experiences continues with ongoing refinements to TeamHub, our bespoke global employment platform.
We’re in the final stages of completing significant improvements based directly on client and employee feedback. This complex implementation process has required careful attention to detail, but we’re excited about the enhanced functionality it will provide.
While we’re proud of the technical advances, we remain committed to our human-centered approach. Technology is important, but it’s the personal touch and expertise of our team that truly sets the Peak experience apart.
Recognition on Gathr to Find
We’re pleased to share that Peak PEO now features as a recommended provider on the Gathr to Find platform – an exclusive B2B marketplace connecting founders, operators, and investors with exceptional service providers.
This invitation-only platform vets all listed businesses, ensuring only trusted and high-quality providers make the cut. For businesses seeking global employment solutions, our presence on Gathr to Find makes it easier to discover Peak PEO’s unique offerings among the noise of the marketplace.
What makes this placement particularly valuable is the focus on curation and recommendation. Unlike traditional directories, Gathr emphasizes quality over quantity, aligning perfectly with our own approach to business growth. This recognition further validates our commitment to providing exceptional service in the global employment space.
Building for the Future and Team Expansion
This quarter has seen exciting developments in our team structure as we prepare for our next growth phase. We’ve opened key strategic positions including a new Sales Director role – pivoting from our traditional referral-based growth to a more proactive approach while maintaining our quality-over-quantity ethos.
We’re also hiring a second intern to work with VP of Business Solutions, nurturing emerging talent within our organisation. Both positions reflect our commitment to building a diverse team while maintaining our people-first approach.
The response to these openings has been phenomenal, demonstrating the attractiveness of our culture and mission. We’re currently in the final stages of our selection process and look forward to introducing our new team members soon.

Every business activity we undertake triggers donations to these worthy causes, embedding social impact into our everyday operations.
