B&FC receives Great Place To Work Certification

B&FC is delighted to have been Certified™ by Great Place To Work®.

Great Place To Work® is a global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviours proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasises that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Blackpool and The Fylde College stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees."

"Achieving this Certification is recognition of all the effort we make to ensure our employees have a positive experience of working at Blackpool and The Fylde College," says Linda Dean, Deputy Principal - Apprenticeships, Business and People. "As an educational organisation, we understand that it is the people who deliver and support our provision that make us who we are and determine our success. That's why we place such ongoing importance on having policies and procedures in place to ensure that every colleague feels valued and is treated with the fairness and respect that the College embodies."

The College actively promotes a healthy work-life balance and offers excellent benefits such as enhanced leave, a generous pension scheme and access to mental health support and advice.
