20: Barclays Bank
Chief executive John Varley even posts his personal diary entries on his website on the company’s intranet. This modern, inclusive approach taken by the 270-year-old bank, which recorded pre-tax profits of £4.6 billion, may explain why more than a third of staff have worked here for more than 15 years.
Our survey scores show why people like working here: Barclays gains a 75% positive score for staff believing in company values and having fun at work, and a 69% score for work being an important part of their lives.
Continuous development of employees is the key to the success of the bank. Team spirit and support from managers is evident; staff score the bank 72% positively for people in their team going out of their way to help, and 69% for saying their manager regularly expresses his or her appreciation when they do a good job.
Benefits include private healthcare, an award-winning pension scheme, the chance to buy shares in the organisation and discounts on a range of goods and services.
