Polar Technology have been selected for the Breakthrough Culture Award: Growth Edition in 2025. The award is a 12-month certification designed to recognise the next wave of UK companies who are passionate about creating a thriving workplace.
The Breakthrough Culture Awards are run by Hyer, a global media company and internet publisher focusing on workplace innovation and company cultures. The Growth Edition is for growing companies that dared to build a culture they’re proud of and that believe a thriving team equals a thriving business.
This award is testament to Polar’s commitment to building an employee-led culture, their investment in training and development and their celebration of both individual and collective achievements. Polar Technology have also introduced a programme where their customers visit their site, or their employees attend events held at customer workplaces, to give employees a chance to witness the end results of their efforts. All internal communication channels, including newsletters and town hall meetings, are geared towards this goal, ensuring that every Polar employee understands that all processes have a clear purpose and serve an important function.
“Culture isn’t something you can manufacture—it’s the essence of who we are at Polar Technology. Our journey has been about peeling back the layers to truly understand what matters most to our people. Through open conversations and honest feedback, our employees have helped us uncover both our strengths and opportunities for growth. These insights are shaping a forward-thinking culture—one that not only reflects who we are today but also prepares us for the challenges of tomorrow. As we build on these strong foundations, our commitment to being the best company to work for remains stronger than ever.” – Sharon Barrett, HR Director at Polar Technology
