The certification signals that a business has created a company culture that its people love, and a work environment that fosters trust, fairness, respect and camaraderie. Gather & Gather is proud to have achieved a score of 71% (65% or higher is required for the certification).
Gather & Gather has enhanced family friendly policies and wellbeing programmes as well as boosting benefits including additional paid holiday days for birthdays, long service and end-of-year gifts.
Training and learning and development opportunities are also pivotal to Gather & Gather’s culture. Competitions such as Chef of the Year and Barista of the Year also encourage team members to build their skills and push the boundaries of their creativity and flair.
Clare Bacchus, managing director for Gather & Gather, said: “We’re thrilled to have achieved the Great Place to Work Certification. It’s a fantastic endorsement of our culture and people initiatives – but most importantly it celebrates our brilliant people and tells us that Gather & Gather has created a culture that they love to be a part of.
“Engagement with our people has always been important to our business. We regularly ask them how they are feeling about a wide range of topics, from benefits and wellbeing to learning and development, and use their feedback to inspire positive action.
“It really is a two-way conversation, and every single team member has played a part in creating our Great Place to Work culture. A big thank you to everyone! I can’t wait to see the celebrations of our on-site and office teams as we share in our success together.”
