At Room & Board, quality goes beyond the products we sell. It also encompasses the service that customers can expect from us. Our people go above and beyond to ensure we offer the best experience possible. For this reason, we’re excited to announce that we’ve been named one of the country’s Best Workplaces in Retail by consulting firm Great Place to Work® and Fortune Magazine.
We earned a place on this list based on an anonymous survey. The survey measures our members’ perceptions of their work environment, leadership, cooperation and compensation. Room & Board’s results were among the best in the country when compared with a wide range of retailers that together employ more than 600,000 people.
Room & Board came in number three on the list! This accolade reflects an investment in our employees that we feel has a return in terms of the service customers experience every time they visit one of our locations or our website.
Kim Peters, Executive Vice President of Great Place to Work®, said “Surveys of the Best Workplaces show that a trusting, supportive culture can have a dramatic impact on employee commitment and team cohesion – and that’s ultimately good for customers.”
While we are extremely proud of this ranking. We also look forward to growing more in this area by seizing every opportunity to provide the best experience for our employees and customers.
