Toy retailer named in the Best 100 Mid Companies 2019 to work for listing.
The Entertainer has ranked 49th in the Sunday Times Best 100 Mid Companies 2019 to work for.
The survey – which reviews eight engagement factors including how employees feel about their personal growth, team, wellbeing and the company in general – generates a BCI (Best Company Index) score for companies before placing them in the top 50 best mid companies to work for.
In 2018, The Entertainer ranked at 69th but this year it has climbed 20 places.
Reasons for this include the toy retailer’s involvement in charitable activities such as Payroll Giving, the access that employees have to the board of directors and training modules that link to pay increases.
Other perks include a designated social space called ‘The Lunchbox’ and extension of stress and resilience training to managers at head office to help build awareness and give managers more capacity to deal with emotional illness and mental health issues.
“It’s hugely important for us that our employees enjoy working for The Entertainer which is why we continually review how we can improve their experience by responding to feedback and introducing new initiatives where possible,” explained Gary Grant, founder and md of The Entertainer.
“We pride ourselves on being a company that encourages employees to explore their potential with the support they need and couldn’t be happier to see the increase in our BCI score which only goes to show how happy our employees are.”
