SCOTTISH-based shoe retailer Schuh has been named the best place to work in Scotland by Glassdoor, the website on which employees post anonymous reviews of companies.
Schuh, with an overall company score of 4.3 out of five from the reviews by employees of their job, work environment and employer, was placed 36th in the UK. And the shoe retailer, part of US group Genesco, was one of only two retailers to feature in the UK top 50, Glassdoor noted.
Anonymous Schuh employee reviews praised the employee training and development opportunities at the retailer.
Among nearly two million employers reviewed on Glassdoor, the average company rating is 3.7.
US-based software company ServiceNow is, according to the ratings on Glassdoor, the best place to work in the UK.
Christian Sutherland-Wong, Glassdoor chief executive officer, said: “The world of work is rapidly evolving, fuelled by the pandemic and now millions of workers reevaluating their expectations of employers. This year’s Best Places to Work winners are leading the way by listening and responding to employee feedback and reimagining the employee experience to truly put their people first.
"It’s inspiring to see these employers step up during the pandemic to expand and grow company cultures where employees feel supported and valued in and out of work. Congratulations to all of this year’s Employees’ Choice Award winners.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
