L'Occitane and The Perfume Shop have both made it into The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list this year.
Each year, Best Companies sends surveys to employees of entered brands. They are asked about how they feel about their immediate colleagues; their personal growth; leadership; management; pay and benefits; stress and work-life balance; engagement with their company and the extent to which their company has a positive impact on society. Each company is then given a Best Companies Index score determining whether they make it onto the list or are awarded a one, two or three star accreditation rating.
