The Landmark London (www.landmarklondon.co.uk), the five-star Grande Dame hotel situated in the heart of Marylebone, has been awarded the prestigious Best Companies Award 2022 for its eighth year in a row, placing as the 11th Best Large Company to work for in the UK and the Number One Hotel in the list.
The award accreditation is based on a unique score generated by a survey that is conducted directly with employees to generate unbiased results and an accurate benchmark against which to compare engagement levels year-on-year.
For 2022, 91% of The Landmark London’s team members agreed that the organisation has a strong social conscience and gives something back to the local community. The hotel encourages guests to donate £1 from each bill to support a local charity. In 2021, the organisation donated over £25,500 to a number of charities including Macmillan, Springboard, and Cosmic. The 2022 charity is Debra, a national charity and patient support group for people living with the rare, extremely painful, genetic skin blistering condition, Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) also known as ‘Butterfly Skin’.
Whilst one of the oldest railway hotels in London, The Landmark London has a modern day approach to HR processes. Working closely with the Dale Carnegie London, the hotel develops leadership and communication skills within its management and executive team. To inspire and motivate others they train topics such as ‘Effective Communication Skills’ and ‘Powerful Presentation Skills’, as well as running its ‘Landmark Development Academy’ for heads of departments, junior managers and apprentices. These initiatives allow the team to progress through various qualifications in customer service, team leadership, management and executive leadership programmes.
