French hotel group Accor has been named as one of the UK’s best places to work for the fourth year running by the Great Place to Work Institute, a workplace assessment firm.
Accor ranked 17th in this year’s ‘large’ category – which featured companies with more than 500 employees – recognising Accor’s “longstanding commitment” to providing “exceptional” career development opportunities, training and a comprehensive benefits package.
As part of the assessment for the award a series of evaluations were carried out across Accor, including an in-depth survey completed by its employees and a management questionnaire.
Philip Addison, vice president of human resources at Accor UK & Ireland, said: “We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK for a fourth consecutive year. This accolade reflects the hard work and commitment of all our talented employees.
“As a hospitality organisation, we find that engaged employees result in greater customer loyalty and we strongly believe in creating a company culture which fosters engagement, teamwork, innovation and success. I would like to thank all of our employees for making Accor such a great place to work.”
Earlier this year Accor won the ‘Employer of the Year’ award at the Mayor’s Fund for London Awards, which celebrates youth employment in London.
