Bensons for Beds has been recognised as a Great Place To Work, after employee feedback.
Great Place To Work certification is based on extensive employee feedback, evaluating trust, leadership, innovation, company values, and colleague experience.
Bensons’ annual engagement survey, used to assess the found:
70% of staff feel it is a great place to work; 83% feel it is a friendly place to work; 81% says they are treated as a full member of the team regardless of their position; 87% feel they are treated fairly regardless of their gender; 89% feel they are treated fairly regardless of their race and 90% feel they are treated fairly regardless of their sexual orientation.
The chain says the results reflect a ‘significant uplift’ in sentiment and demonstrate ‘the strong, values-driven culture’ that has been built.
‘Our people are at the heart of our business and being named a Certified great workplace by Great Place To Work is an incredible milestone for Bensons: and it’s all thanks to our people. This recognition isn’t just about an award; it’s a reflection of the culture we’re building together. It shows that our colleagues feel valued, supported, and empowered — and that’s the real achievement. Over the past few years, we’ve listened, acted, and evolved based on colleague feedback – from launching new policies and initiatives to ensuring that every voice is heard. This certification proves we’re on the right path, but it’s also just the beginning. Our aim isn’t to be the biggest, but to be the best: and this recognition shows we’re well on our way,’ says Nick Collard, Bensons ceo.
