Glaziers Hall, the livery building on the Southbank in London, has been named as one of 30 best places to work in the hospitality sector thanks to an annual survey commissioned by the Caterer magazine.

Celebrating companies across all sectors, the annual showcase focuses on those putting people first and prioritising their wellbeing within the workplace. It also highlights the employers that demonstrate exceptional skill at employee engagement and those that have promoted retention through the training and development of team members.

Within the corresponding article that featured in the Caterer magazine, it was highlighted that the anonymous survey found 95% of those working at Glaziers Hall praised the positive and welcoming work environment, while 90% said that they felt a real sense of recognition for a job well done.

Will Simmonds, Managing Director of Glaziers Hall, comments: “It is a real coup to feature on this list of the 30 best places to work in the hospitality 2023. There’s no doubt that things have changed over recent years and with that brings challenge, however that doesn’t mean that our focus should slip from our people.

“Without our team, nothing would be possible. We get some incredible feedback from the agencies, companies and individuals that host events with us. In many instances, the responses reference our team in person.

“Working in events can be tough, however with such a strong team around us, we know that we can make sure that our clients’ events are the very best they can be. Every time. What’s more, we have fun while we work. The results of this survey are testament to that.”

Tom Lake, co-founder of Korero, said: “We introduced these awards nine years ago with a view to help drive employee engagement, share great practice and improve hospitality’s reputation as a great place to work.

“This year’s results are reflective of the continued turmoil within the job market as they show a decrease in the overall engagement score from 86% to 82%, with employer net promoter scores also dropping to an average of +59 from +63 the previous year.

“However, the organisations that made this year’s top 30 are still performing significantly better than the rest of the hospitality labour market, where employee net promoter – or eNPS – scores run in single figures for many businesses and in some cases are in the negative.”
