Healthy workplace

IronmongeryDirect has been recognised as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces 2021 by Great Place to Work, for the second year running.

The Best Workplaces Award recognises companies that promote a healthy workplace culture through management credibility, respect, fairness, trust, pride and camaraderie.

The Great Place to Work institute assesses this using an anonymous employee survey to gauge levels of trust in the company and their colleagues. A further assessment evaluates the organisation’s HR and leadership practices, policies and culture. Of the 183 companies shortlisted, IronmongeryDirect ranked 58th in the medium-size category, moving up in the rankings from last year’s result.

Marco Verdonkschot, managing director at IronmongeryDirect, said: “We know that a motivated workforce means our customers always get the very best treatment in return, and we are continuously looking for ways to improve our workplace and employee wellbeing. Our ongoing learning and development programme encourages our employees to deepen their knowledge of the industry, gain new skills and ignite personal growth.”
