AEG Europe named as one of The Sunday Times Best Places To Work
AEG Europe, the world’s leading sports and live entertainment
company, has been recognised as one of the best places to work in
the United Kingdom by The Sunday Times, solidifying its reputation
as a best-in-class employer committed to fostering a culture of
excellence and inclusivity. The prestigious accolade is awarded to
organisations who have consistently high levels of employee
experience and inclusivity – where employee happiness and wellbeing
is prioritised.
Following an internal survey of AEG Europe’s full-time UK
employees – from across its six UK offices and venues, including
The O2, Eventim Apollo, indigo at The O2, University of
Wolverhampton at The Halls, and award-winning ticketing provider
AXS – the business scored an impressive engagement score of 86%,
surpassing the industry average by 14%. The achievement comes in
the same week as the company reveals its new employer-brand
campaign, offering a first-hand glimpse into the people-first
culture at AEG Europe.
Two of the company’s four values – We Play As a Team and We All
Make a Difference – were evidenced through the strong sense of
belonging the survey findings unveiled, alongside an exemplary
employee retention rate. Just 3% of employees revealed a likelihood
of leaving AEG Europe within the next nine months – significantly
lower than industry standards and global benchmarks of 43% and 41%
respectively. Furthermore, the organisation received an outstanding
87% confidence in management rating, exceeding both industry and
global averages, highlighting the trust and support employees have
in leadership and the future of the business.
The survey also found that AEG Europe demonstrates a strong
emphasis on employee well-being, contrasting strongly with global
and industry standard. The company consistently evolves its
employee benefits proposition, based on consultation with its
people, to ensure the perks and packages reflect the desires of the
people they stand to benefit. Currently these include everything
from the more traditional matched pension scheme and private
medical insurance to generous family leave policies, exclusive
retail discounts with tenants across the company’s entertainment
districts, gigs and guestlist opportunities. The company was found
to recognise and reward talent, through initiatives like its annual
staff awards, whereby the 2024 winner received an all-expenses paid
trip for two to its Coachella event in California.
Alex Hill, President and CEO of AEG Europe, said: “It’s
our vision to be a best-in-class live sport and entertainment
business and it’s our people who enable this. We couldn’t create
and host the world’s biggest events without our team and we’re
incredibly proud of the work we have done to foster a culture of
excellence, inclusion and belonging.”
Kirstie Loveridge, Executive Vice President of People
& Culture for AEG Europe, continued: “We recognise our bias
when we say AEG Europe is a great place to work, so to have this
formally recognised with a prestigious and longstanding accolade
like The Sunday Times Best Places To Work list, is thrilling.
We’re passionate about creating an inclusive and rewarding
environment where our employees can grow both personally and
professionally, allowing them to be the best they can be. I’m
incredibly proud of these results.”
This accolade comes on the heels of several high-profile
announcements from AEG Europe, such as their new 8,500-cap arena
planned for Edinburgh, and the results from the world’s first
carbon removed arena events, which took place in February at The O2
with The 1975. Reflective of the company’s industry-leading
developments, 90% of AEG Europe’s workforce expressed pride in
working for the company, 93% reporting a good relationship with
their manager, and 91% feeling they are treated with
respect—reinforcing the company’s reputation as a preferred
entertainment employer.
