Life at The GleenJust like our venues are designed for everyone, so is our workplace. We know that we can’t possibly serve our diverse audiences without first nurturing and celebrating it in our people and that’s why we work hard to create an inclusive culture for everyone. We want the different perspectives, increased creativity and higher innovation that comes from diversity. So no matter what you look like, where you come from, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for someone who’s going to work to certain values, which we frame as a set of questions:
1. Is it safe?nThis applies to all decisions and without it we don't proceed. Whether it's a decision on selling a drunk person another drink or if we open a site in a new city, we must first ask if it is safe for customers and the business.
2. Will it enhance the experience?nWe are an experience led company, so would (for example) replacing someone’s drink if they spilt it accidentally enhance their experience?
We think so.
3. Is it lasting?nWe want our business to survive the test of time, so when a decision to do something unsustainable comes up you can guess the route we take. Do something right and do it once.
