Bobst UK & Ireland is celebrating after being ranked as one of the UK’s best workplaces following a survey of employees during one of the company’s most challenging years.
Redditch-based Bobst was ranked 63rd in the UK medium-sized business (51-250 employees) category by Great Place to Work®, a global institute that supports organisations who create exceptional, high-performing workplaces with a focus on employee wellbeing and engagement. Based on all responses to the survey, 82% of employees felt that Bobst UK & Ireland was a ‘Great Place to Work’.
Wendy Knight, Human Resources Director, at Bobst UK & Ireland, said, “Feedback from Great Place to Work was that this was a positive first result. We clearly have a strong organisation with engaged people. Considering we have endured one of the most challenging times that we have ever faced, due to the impact of COVID-19, we still received excellent feedback. The effect of lockdowns and increased working from home has meant that people have generally been more stressed; they cannot relax at home and have not been able to enjoy holidays. All this adds pressure to the working environment but despite this, we were still able to make the Great Place to Work list 2021. It is a great accolade and will support us in recruitment, employee retention and of course, promotion of BOBST as a company to do business with.”
Bobst UK & Ireland is the first business within the Bobst Group to be recognised by Great Place to Work.
