Great Place To Work
One of the founding principles of Greggs plc is that we put people first. We are passionate in our belief that if we treat our people correctly, they will treat our customers with similar consideration. We continually seek to improve working conditions in our shops and bakeries, and to ensure that the Greggs culture is one that enables people to derive real enjoyment and satisfaction from what they do. In 2003, Greggs was named as one of the top 100 places to work in the national Sunday Times annual “Great Place to Work” survey.
To make sure that Greggs is a great place to work, we have developed a series of Values to ensure that we really to treat people – both staff and customers – the way they deserve to be treated.
Our Values – We will be enthusiastic and supportive in all that we do, open, honest and appreciative, treating everyone with fairness, consideration and respect.
There are a number of initiatives that we have in place for the benefit of our staff. These include an Employee Charter, a commitment to our people to keep them informed and involved of and involved in our business objectives. Regular feedback and we welcome people's quesions and suggestions that can help improve the and working environment. Employees also have the opportunity to become a member of the union.
We actively encourage staff social events and many divisions operate a social committee to organise activities outside of work. Many of our staff also get involved in charity fundraising events – some of which are organised by the company but many are initiated by individuals who want to support charities or causes that are close to their heart.
Our shop staff are our daily point of contact with our customers, and the production and distribution staff ensure the timely delivery of quality, enjoyable products. Our reputation depends entirely on the service and products these two groups provide. Our philosophy in making Greggs a great place to work is based on our belief that not only does this make sound business sense, it is also the right thing to do.
As well as providing our staff with an enjoyable place to work and good career prospects, our remuneration and benefits packages offer the following. A number of schemes and benefits programmes are on offer including:
- Competitive rates of pay
