We are officially one of the best workplaces in charity and not-for-profit

We're delighted to announce we have officially been recognised as one of the Best Workplaces in Charity & Not-for-Profit! This achievement is a true reflection of the culture journey we are on as an organisation.  Colleague feedback plays a vital role in shaping our workplace and in our last Great Place to Work survey, 79% of colleagues said they think Gentoo is a Great Place to Work.  

Louise Bassett, Chief Executive at Gentoo, said: “I’m so proud of each and every colleague across the organisation for helping us reach this milestone and for making Gentoo a truly Great Place to Work. 

“We’re constantly listening, learning, and evolving because when we deliver for our colleagues, our colleagues can deliver the best possible service to our customers. 

This recognition is a powerful step forward for us as an organisation. We’re committed to keep building on this momentum and we will continue making Gentoo a place where people feel valued, supported, and inspired.”
