Explore Learning Founder Ranked 11th in the Top 50 UK CEOs

Bill Mills the CEO of Explore Learning has won a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award honouring the Top CEOs in 2018. Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest job and recruiting sites, released its annual report recognising the Top CEOs, which highlights top leaders employees love working for in countries throughout North America and parts of Europe.

Among the 770,000 companies reviewed on Glassdoor, the average CEO approval rating is 69 percent. Bill Mills placed 11th in the top 50 UK CEOs based purely on employee feedback with an incredible 97% approval rating!

Explore Learning was launched in 2001 by Chief Executive, Bill Mills, who is still very-much hands on. The company provides English and maths tuition to children aged four to 14, working closely with local communities, schools and libraries.

Mills received the impressive approval rating based on the anonymous and voluntary reviews Explore Learning employees shared on Glassdoor throughout the past year.

Bill Mills, CEO and Founder of Explore Learning says: “It is really fantastic to see this feedback from our team. The happier and more engaged our staff are, the more positive the effect on the company as a whole. All the hard, innovative work by so many people make Explore Learning what it is – this is an award for everyone.”

“Winning a Glassdoor Top CEO award is a true acknowledgement of exceptional leadership, as it reflects the opinions of the employees who work with a chief executive every day. I congratulate all of this year’s winners on this significant achievement,” said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor co-founder and CEO. “It can be a real recruiting advantage to have a top-rated CEO at the helm of a company who has strong support from his or her employees. The best CEOs are inspiring, trustworthy, innovative and can be great motivators for people to bring their best selves to work.”

When employees submit reviews about their company on Glassdoor, they are asked to rate various factors about their employment experience, including their overall satisfaction and other workplace attributes like senior management. As part of these ratings, employees are also asked to rate whether they approve, disapprove or are neutral about the job their CEO is doing.

Explore Learning is currently growing at a rate of 20% year on year and in 2014 opened its first international centre in America, under the name ‘Explore Horizons.’ The business now has five US centres in Dallas.
