Best Companies | Graphnet Health Company Profile

It was all hands-on deck at IT software company Graphnet Health as it supported the rollout of early mass Covid testing and the acclaimed vaccination programme.

Senior leaders at the Milton Keynes-based company supported staff on the ground to meet 24/7 demands and manage customer expectations, highlighting the company's supportive and "family-feel culture."

Graphnet Health provides specialist software to health and care professionals across the UK. It aims to be at the centre of the NHS's digital transformation, supporting data-driven decision-making to support patients most in need.

Demand for its services has grown over the past five years, with a collaborative environment and engaged team aiding its success.

Staff can enjoy flexible hours, an extra day off for their birthday and a comprehensive benefits package including a bonus scheme, life assurance, private healthcare and electric vehicle leasing. They can also take advantage of discounts on activities and treats, from gym memberships to eating out.

And the company has launched a new graduate programme to foster the next generation of Graphnet Health leaders. It's taking on people passionate about improving patient care and making the lives of frontline health and care staff easier.

Existing team members have helped make Graphnet Health an easy sell to new recruits. It was oversubscribed with employees volunteering to feature in a promotional video showcasing life at the company.
