Royal Lancaster London has been awarded 50th position in the acclaimed Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work for 2020.
This is the fifth consecutive year that the hotel has been included in the list and General Manager Sally Beck could not be more proud: “We are ecstatic to have maintained a spot in these prestigious awards for five consecutive years. Despite a challenging year, we have recruited over 150 new team members and reduced our overall staff turnover, all whilst maintaining a happy and motivated team! For us to be positioned in the Top 50 is incredible!”
The Sunday Times ranks Britain’s best companies to work for based on a number of criteria. It is mainly centred on surveys of employee satisfaction; hence is a true reflection of the people whose hard work builds the success of the organisation and determines the position and inclusion in the list.
Royal Lancaster London is dedicated to continual and significant investment in its employees by prioritising their development; thus is delighted that this hard work has been rewarded for another year running.
Internal initiatives at all levels have been key in establishing an inclusive mentality, such as a positive approach to work-life balance and a no-blame culture. An inverted hierarchy is adopted by the hotel, which features a reversal of traditional management practices and allows the company to be managed from the bottom up. This means colleagues are able to use their voice and are heard as soon as internal issues arise.
The wonderful work of the hotel’s numerous taskforces undoubtedly played a major role in helping the hotel achieve the accolade. There are wellness days and annual awards parties to reward colleagues for inspirational behaviour. The inclusive culture is demonstrated in how all team members get actively involved in making the hotel a better and happier place day after day.
Royal Lancaster London is part of the Lancaster Landmark Hotel Company, which consists of three hotels in London: Royal Lancaster London, The Landmark London, and K West Hotel & Spa. There are also two sister hotels in Bangkok, The Landmark Bangkok and The Lancaster Bangkok.
