Great Place to Work® is known as the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours that are proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
To earn the accreditation, employees complete a short confidential questionnaire about what they believe it is like to work for their company. In 2024, 83% of Watches of Switzerland Group employees participated in the survey and the group exceeded the trust index score requirement, which represents workplace culture, policies, practices, history and demographics.
"We’re delighted to be recognised as a Great Place to Work and the fact that we have made the list of Certified Great Places to Work in both of our US and UK regions in our first year of entry is a testament to the hard work, passion and team spirit of all of our colleagues who work hard to deliver positive outcomes for our clients."
The Watches of Switzerland Group is proud to be a Real Living Wage accredited employer by the Living Wage Foundation in the UK and they also ranked #10 in the FTSE 250 Women Leaders Review.
"We are fully committed to building and maintaining a positive employee experience across our Group which underpins our excellent client experience. I’m delighted to see how proud our colleagues are to work for our Group and how included they feel when they join and continue to develop their careers with us. Our culture has an ingrained caring spirit and we are dedicated to giving back to our communities through the work of the Watches of Switzerland Group Foundation. Our Group has contributed £7.5m to our Foundation since 2021. To this extent, our colleagues enjoy volunteering in our communities, and we saw a 23% increase in volunteering hours in FY24."
