Everton have been named as one of the best places to work as they feature in a major national list once again.
The Blues have been ranked 54th in The Sunday Times’ Top ‘100 Best Large Companies To Work For’ list.
The list also includes Regional and Leisure and Hospitality categories for the first time and Everton have landed 40th and 12th in the table, respectively.
The Sunday Times guide is said to be based on the views of employees with companies ranked on responses from their staff in a variety of areas and Everton are on the list for the fourth year running, having first featured in 2018.
Everton CEO, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, said: “The people at Everton have always been central to driving positive change across our business.
“By listening to and supporting our staff, we have been able to make continuous improvements to our employee engagement strategy and enhance our commitment to staff welfare – which is now recognised as being the best in our industry and amongst the best in the country.
“Kim and her People, Culture and Workplace Wellbeing Team deserve a huge amount of credit for how they engage with our staff and how they have embedded the Everton values of ambition, authenticity, determination and family throughout our organisation. The past year has highlighted how much the staff at Everton live our values through their hard work, dedication, resilience and altruism.
“Today’s achievement illustrates that staff at Everton feel empowered and have a true sense of ownership and understanding of what it means to be part of the Everton Family.”
Kim Healey, Director of People, Culture and Workplace wellbeing at Everton, said: “We are very proud to have been named on the list of best employers for the fourth year running recognising the work done by the Club, Community and Free School and our talented, committed and ambitious staff.
“The coronavirus pandemic completely changed our way of working, and this year we have placed a huge amount of focus and importance on staff wellbeing and welfare during what has been a truly challenging time for everyone.
“As a responsible employer we wanted to ensure we were communicating and engaging with staff to help them in any way possible – be that in their work or home life – and we introduced a range of resources and benefits to help support and manage their work and family responsibilities."
