Bentley recognised as top employer for 10th year running

The luxury car manufacturer is the only car brand to be selected in the elite list.

This success follows a comprehensive review of the business that highlighted the company's innovative and compelling approach to the employee experience, and Bentley’s own progressive strategic ambitions for the future.

In a year that has arguably been one of the most challenging in history for so many organisations, Bentley’s focus on wellbeing was commended with the institute highlighting Bentley’s Come Back Stronger campaign which transformed the way Bentley’s colleagues worked to ensure everyone’s safety.

This includes driving forward digital transformation through remote working, online networking and apps, alongside robust safety measures throughout the new working environment in Crewe. It also extended mental health and well-being initiatives to support colleagues at every level of the organisation.

Commenting on the accomplishment, Astrid Fontaine, member of the board for people, digitalisation & IT, said: “Our people are at the heart of everything that we do and being a best in class employer, with a winning culture, is at the core of our people strategy. I strongly believe that among the challenges, one of the greatest positives to come out of the crisis is the opportunity to take employee engagement to another level. This includes greater flexibility and digital engagement and our sense of mutual support and responsibility for one another’s wellbeing.

“We can use this as a platform to look ahead, to our clear and ambitious strategic future. We are transforming our entire operations to lead sustainable luxury mobility in the future and it is our people that get us there. Not only is it vital that we target truly diverse talent, we also need to continue to build an inclusive culture which brings diverse views together which create best possible products and services for our customers.

“This award recognition provides reassurance that we are on the right path to success, driving a new skillset and culture as we plan for the future needs of our organisation.”
