RCH wins top employer listing
20/05/2008
Red Carnation, the international collection of luxury five- and four-star boutique hotels, offers not just a great place to stay. It has just been confirmed that their hotels are great places to work as well.
Every year, the Best Companies Guide provides the recruitment industry’s only index to the companies that offer the best – most rewarding, most satisfying, most encouraging – working environments. Any company will tell you they’re a great employer. The guide goes behind the managers’ backs to talk to the people whose opinions really matter: the employees. Using this confidential information, Best Companies then provide a score against each of the criteria that really affect staff satisfaction.
The findings among Red Carnation were outstanding, with 83% of RCH staff agreeing with the statement “My manager regularly expresses his/her appreciation when I do a good job”, and 82% testifying that “This job is good for my own personal growth”. With these and similar responses RCH is now listed among the UK’s best employers in the Best Companies 2008 Guide: visit www.bestcompaniesguide.co.uk for the full results.
Jonathan Raggett, Red Carnation’s Managing Director, is thrilled that the collection’s efforts in this respect have proved so fruitful. “Our outstanding reputation for service depends a hundred per cent on the quality of our staff. You won’t get – or keep – the right people unless they feel motivated and empowered, and we put in a lot of time and resources to making this happen by recruiting the best people and paying special attention to their career development. These results are a fantastic vindication of our approach.”
