LOOKERS has been officially certified by the Top Employers Institute for its exceptional employee offerings.
Lookers is the only motor retailer to be recognised with this accolade.
The Top Employers Institute globally recognises leading employers from around the world, while the award recognises those who provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent at all levels of the organisation and those that strive to continuously improve and optimise employment practices.
Andrew Stephenson, Lookers Group people director, pictured, said: ‘This is a great honour. We are delighted to be officially recognised as a leading employer and provide excellence in employee conditions.
‘Our people from across the business do amazing things every day and this award is recognition of their commitment of being excellent and delivering an outstanding customer retail experience.’
The award comes as Lookers announced a comprehensive package of benefits for their people including a full year’s paid maternity leave; two years’ critical illness cover; and enhanced holiday packages from year one of employment.
Stephenson added: ‘As one of the leading motor retailers, we are always looking to attract, recruit, retain and reward talented people from every business sector. The measures and benefits we have introduced have created a meaningful and noticeably different place to work.’
The award certification was independently audited.
James Gooding, UK country manager for the Top Employers Institute, said: ‘Optimal employee conditions ensure that people can develop themselves personally and professionally. Our comprehensive research concluded that Lookers provides an outstanding employment environment and offers a wide range of creative initiatives, from secondary benefits and working conditions to performance-management programmes that are well-thought-out and truly aligned with the culture of their company.’
