UK’s best employers
When it comes to searching for jobs in London, soon-to-be graduates have to consider a variety of things such as salary, job outlook, benefits, and personal expectations. Knowing where to begin searching can take away a lot of pressure. Companies with reputations for being highly rated by the staff they employ usually offer the most guaranteed career satisfaction. Monster had this in mind when they complied their list of the 20 best large companies to work for in the UK. All of the companies listed below employ at least 5,000 individuals.
Heading the list was the tax advisory firm KPMG, which has 22 different locations throughout the UK. Aside from offering favorable working conditions, according to current employees, the company places a strong focus on flexibility. This enables those who work there to reach what Monster refers to as a “rewarding work/home life balance.”
Next on the list was Barchester Healthcare, a company that runs 170 different residential care homes. Since the operation of such facilities is a twenty-four hour deal, Barchester has seen to it that many of their employees are able to work from home. They also supply supply Blackberries for staff to assist in making what could be a difficult and time consuming job much easier.
The company that had the highest score from current employees was number nine on the list. Mothercare UK employees rated their satisfaction level with the company at a very 81 percent. One reason contributing to such a high score was the low stress work environment offered there.
Employees at Cadburry Schweppes were pleased with the pleasant, family-orientated environment. Office place morale was high with this company. According to Monster, the staff reported feeling that their contributions made a difference in business and that they felt they had opportunities for career progression.
Other companies making the list for best London jobs and the surrounding area included RBS Retail Banking, American Express Services Europe, Vodafone UK.
