Mark Carrow, director of variable operations, on showing employees that they are valued: "The management staff is trained to provide verbal recognition of individual achievements. We also have store celebrations including a complimentary hot lunch honoring personnel who exceed performance standards. We provide clothing allowances and bonuses for good performance, for example: cashmere overcoats for the winter to top performers."

Carrow on changes in response to staff requests:  "Job sharing has been introduced and allows sales personnel to partner with another team member. This allows some sharing of the workload during the week and helps achieve a manageable work-life balance for some individuals."
