Metro expands Great Place to Work Certification globally

Metro has reached a significant milestone by extending its Great Place to Work (GPTW) certification to its Chennai office, reflecting the hard work and dedication of the Metro India team and affirming the company’s commitment to creating a supportive and fulfilling work environment across all its offices worldwide.

The Great Place to Work certification is a globally recognised symbol of excellence. Awarded to companies that excel in providing a positive employee experience, it is based on anonymous employee feedback and a rigorous audit of workplace practices, which ensures that only companies truly committed to fostering a great work culture achieve accreditation.

In the recent audit, Metro received impressive feedback from its employees, with 93% affirming that Metro is a great place to work. Further highlights include 95% of employees stating that they felt welcomed upon joining the company, 97% expressing pride in telling others they work for Metro, and 96% commending management for their clear vision and ethical business practices.

Metro’s Managing Director, Grant Liddell, praised the achievement, saying, “This is another important milestone for Metro, becoming the employer of choice in our industry in both the UK and India. I am personally delighted to know that my colleagues enjoy our work culture, feel safe, valued, and treated fairly.”

Grant also highlighted the certification’s role in attracting top talent globally, giving Metro’s HR team a recruiting advantage with a research-backed verification of the company’s positive employee experience.

The GPTW certification not only helps Metro recruit top-tier talent, it builds pride among employees and places Metro in a community of other great workplaces, sharing insights and practices that help strengthen its work culture even further.

As Metro continues to expand globally, this recognition as a Great Place to Work further solidifies its position as a leader in the logistics and supply chain industry. The company’s dedication to creating a supportive, ethical, and engaging workplace ensures that it remains competitive in attracting and retaining the best talent worldwide.
