The Perfume Shop, the UK’s largest fragrance retailer, has reported that it has officially been announced as a Top Employer for another year, following on successfully securing certification last year in 2023 from the Top Employers Institute. The Top Employers Institute is the global authority on recognising excellence in people practices.
Top Employers assess businesses across a wide range of criteria including Learning and Development, Communications, People Systems, Reward, Benefits and Employee Wellbeing, recruitment, learning & skills, career development, pay & benefits, engagement, DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and so much more.
In addition to being a certified Top Employer for another year running, The Perfume Shop is also an accredited real Living Wage employer, reinforcing its commitment to ensuring all staff are paid fairly, feel rewarded and valued. Retail employees in stores also earn commission during the seasonal trading periods, further boosting their take home pay.
The Perfume Shop is also committed to employee development, offering widespread opportunities for people to develop their career through apprenticeships, internal management training programmes as well as access to vocational learning through the British Retail Consortium and the Fragrance Foundation qualification programme.
Michelle Fellows, people and development director, said: “We’re so pleased to be announced as a certified Top Employer for another year running. This is a great recognition for our approach to our People and recognises our commitment to creating a great place of work.
We’re confident that our culture, values, development opportunities and benefits, plus our real Living Wage accreditation, all add up to a really special place to work and we’re delighted that this has been independently verified and recognised by Top Employers for 2024.”
