We have some amazing news to share, and it’s a milestone that belongs entirely to our incredible team.
For the second year, Vetro Recruitment has been officially certified as a Great Place To Work®!
If you’re not familiar, this certification isn’t based on a panel of judges or a company application - it’s based entirely on the confidential feedback and experience of our current employees. This makes the achievement truly meaningful, as it proves that we’re living up to our commitment to a positive and supportive culture every single day.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
The feedback we received this year was overwhelmingly positive, and the results speak for themselves:
-
98% of Vetro Recruitment employees said this a great place to work.
-
To put that in perspective, the average for a typical UK-based company is just 54%. We’re proud to be dramatically outperforming the standard and setting a new benchmark for employee satisfaction.
The level of job satisfaction doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the direct result of our ongoing efforts to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered.
Culture Cornerstones: Flexibility and Fairness
Two key areas stood out in the Great Place To Work survey, highlighting the successful adoption of our most important initiatives:
-
Work-Life Balance: 100% of our team said they are encouraged to balance their work life and personal life. This is a clear vote of confidence in our decision to make the 4-day working week permanent in 2024. We believe high performance shouldn’t require burnout.
-
Inclusivity and Fairness: 100% of employees also confirmed that the company treats people fairly regardless of their sexual orientation. Fairness and equality are non-negotiable foundations of our culture.
These two 100% scores in particular are numbers we are perhaps most proud of. They demonstrate that our commitment to employee well-being and equitable treatment is not just a policy written in a handbook, but a deeply ingrained reality experienced by every employee.
Diving Deeper into the 4-Day Week
The permanent introduction of the 4-day work week was a huge leap for us. It wasn’t just a trial; it was a firm commitment to our team’s well-being. We found that condensing hours didn’t impact our productivity - in many cases, it actually improved focus and efficiency across the board.
This extra day in the week has been instrumental in boosting morale and reducing stress, directly correlating with the 100% positive feedback we received on work-life balance. It proves that you can be successful in business while still prioritising your people. This structure is built on a foundation of trust - trusting our team to manage their time effectively and deliver exceptional results, which they continue to do every single week. The success of the 4-day week is a perfect example of how a people-first strategy can lead to business excellence.
Our Commitment to Equity and Inclusion
The 100% fairness score is particularly important to us. We strive to create an environment where every individual feels they can bring their whole, authentic self to work. A truly great workplace is one where everyone, regardless of background or orientation, feels they have an equal opportunity to thrive.
Our commitment extends beyond just policy; it’s reflected in the daily interactions, our leadership training, and the genuine respect our team members show for one another. We know that a diverse team brings a wider range of perspectives and innovation, and it’s essential that every voice is heard and valued equally.
A Thank You to the Vetro Team
