The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces in Retail, Hospitality &Leisure™ list was recently launched by Great Place To Work® UK, recognising Ethos Farm among the list of organisations in the Large category.

Ethos Farm's employees anonymously reported that having access to bespoke, in-house, training and development to support their growth and encourage professional progress makes the company a great place to work.  Whether it's upskilling, adapting to new technologies, or supporting role-specific development, tailored training that’s relevant to both individual and business needs is well received.

Teams also acknowledged investment in recognising, celebrating and supporting every individual, another contributing factor that sets the company apart. Recognition and reward are deeply embedded in Ethos Farm’s culture, with events that shine a spotlight on those going above and beyond.

Colleagues also value the benefits that make a real difference to their lives; from flexible pay through salary advances, to free mortgage brokering, personalised financial support, and a range of wellbeing initiatives. It’s this combination of appreciation, meaningful support, and genuine care that makes Ethos Farm more than ‘just’ a place to work – it’s a place where people feel seen, valued and are empowered to thrive.

Great Place To Work® UK administered their research-backed Trust Index© employee survey and analysed the responses of UK-based retail, hospitality and leisure employees to determine the Best Workplaces™ list.  The surveys asked employees to comment on how their company supports their work-life balance, sense of fulfilment, job satisfaction, psychological safety and financial security. Evaluations also included an assessment of how well the organisation was able to deliver consistency of their employee experience across all departments and seniority levels.

Analysis of the sector employee survey responses found:

 78%of employees at the UK’s Best Workplaces for Retail, Hospitality & Leisure™ say “I want to work here for a long time” compared to a UK average for sector of 56%

Theresa Pope, Employee Experience Director at Ethos Farm, said:
