STAFF CAN FIND themselves flavour of the month at fashion chain White Stuff. “I don't know any other retailer that has customers baking cakes for them,” says one employee. The business started in 1985, selling T-shirts and fleeces in French ski resorts, and opened its first store in London six years later. “What hasn't changed in 30 years is our sense of fun, creativity and that people are always at the heart of what we do,” it says. It has 1,669 employees, who work in more than 100 shops and concessions across the UK (plus an online operation) selling its “sociable fashion”. The company has a top-30 placing for its My Team factor, with a positive score of 82%. Last year it ran a “boot camp” for shop managers, who returned to their areas to train others. Ideas are shared on the Tea Room intranet. The London head office and Leicester base regularly have “huddles”, where teams review performance, plus a monthly meeting called the “family gathering”. Colleagues say they have plenty of fun (85%): a recent brand event was followed by in-store treasure hunts so employees could learn about the company's ethos of being creative, sociable, responsible and determined. Those who work for it say White Stuff gives plenty to local communities (65%) and encourages charitable activities (90%). The White Stuff Foundation works with more than 100 local charities, while the business decorates stores with “pre-loved furniture”. www.whitestuff.com
My organisation encourages charitable activities
This year White Stuff relaunched its benefit offer on a new online platform called ‘The Biscuit Tin'. The site went live in June 2016 for the annual benefit selection window and was a huge success, seeing a 65% increase in total logins compared to the same time last year. The Biscuit Tin offers a complete information hub with easy navigation to benefits. Employees can select their benefits whenever they wish, giving them the power to control when and how they access their rewards. The site is fully interactive, containing videos and help guides to enable their family to make choices that are right for their lifestyle. Employees can use The Biscuit Tin to claim on their insurances, access discounts and review their Total Reward Statement. They re-designed the Total Reward Statement for the June 2016 launch and employees can now see the value and split of their package at-a-glance. Staff can drill down on each element of their Reward to explore how the building blocks of their package. There is also access to historical reward statements for detailed comparison of individual's pay and benefits over time. This year they have also used The Biscuit Tin to build awareness of retirement planning and pension savings amongst their family. There is an interactive pension-modelling tool where employees can adjust their contributions, pension fund and retirement projections to get the most out of their investments. The site gives access to the annual Pension Newsletter that explains the performance of the Default Pension Fund, where 90% of the White Stuff family is invested.
