John Lewis named best retailer in the UK to work for

STORE giant John Lewis has been named the best retailer in the UK to work for.

Cosmetics firm Lush was second, Ikea third, Marks & Spencer fourth, followed by shoe firm Clarks.

Good rates of pay were a common theme in the most favoured companies, according to research among thousands of employees by jobs site Indeed.

Kevin Walker, of Indeed, said: “The jobs market is tight and there’s stiff competition for the best talent – that’s why good brands all offer their employees a range of benefits and flexible working.

“Our research shows great brands are the ones whose staff feel valued, well managed – and part of a positive company culture.

“Having fun, feeling like you’re having an impact and seeing that impact extend beyond the company to the world – those are the things that make a workplace really special.”

John Lewis director of personnel Libby Jones said: “Attracting top talent to join us is integral to our success.”
