International Week of Happiness at Work - What makes a happy work place?
The International Week of Happiness at Work is designed to bring together individuals and organisations that prioritise happiness in the workplace. Since 2018, The International Week of Happiness at Work’s goal has been to spark discussions on how they can make workplace happiness the standard for everyone.
At Bennett & Game Recruitment, we believe that happiness at work is more than just a phrase; it’s a core part of our company culture. With International Week of Happiness at Work upon us, it’s a great time to highlight the steps we take to ensure our team enjoys a positive and rewarding work environment every day. There's a good reason we have won awards with Investors in People, Feefo and we're a member of REC.
Here are some of the perks we offer our staff to make our workplace the happiest environment it can be:
