Oxfordshire hotel named UK's best workplace for second year

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 06:18 · Archive

Courtyard by Marriott Oxford South has been named a Great Place to Work for the second consecutive year. The certification was based on confidential employee feedback collected through the Great Place to Work Trust Index survey.

Staff praised the workplace for its safety, inclusivity and professional development opportunities. Ninety-five per cent of employees said it is physically safe and people are treated fairly regardless of gender. Ninety-two per cent reported fair treatment regardless of sexual orientation, whilst 85 per cent said they were offered training or development opportunities. Eighty per cent said management trusts them to do their jobs without micromanagement.

Santiago Monteiro, general manager, said: 'We are incredibly proud to have been recognised as a Great Place to Work for the second year running. While awards and accreditations are always welcome, what matters most to us is the feedback from our own people. To see such strong results around safety, fairness, inclusion, development and trust is a real testament to the culture our team creates every day.'

The hotel is part of the EQ Group's hospitality businesses in Oxfordshire and also offers internship opportunities through Oxfordshire Employment, part of Oxfordshire County Council.
