I am happy with the balance between my work and home life

It encourages employees to take compassionate leave whenever it might be required to assist that employee with a life event or responsibility, rather than just being limited to acute situations such as bereavement.

Quote from the top...

At Tapestry we are extremely committed to employee engagement. It’s what we work for with our clients (encouraging employee engagement through equity ownership), so we fully understand and appreciate the benefits it brings, for our team and for the business. Working in the employee ownership and engagement industry, at Tapestry we strive to ‘walk the walk’, not just ‘talk the talk’. As an employee-owned business, all of our employees own the business, and the business is operated for their benefit, which is very different to a business operating for the benefit of its shareholders, for example. We’ve seen the positive impact owning the business has had on employee engagement. We have a very dedicated, loyal, committed and engaged workforce – always striving to make Tapestry better, for each other and our clients.
