Imperial’s Spanish succession

Imperial Tobacco’s Spanish operation has again been recognised as one of the best companies to work for in Spain.

Altadis was one of around 50 businesses to achieve a Top Employers España 2012-13 award, which was made by the CRF Institute, an independent organisation that champions best practice in business.

The latest award builds on Altadis’ Top Employers award in 2011.

Businesses were scored on a range of issues such as benefits, training and development plans, career initiatives, working conditions and corporate culture.

“This is genuine acknowledgement of the continuous improvements and positive transformation taking place to make Altadis a great place to work, such as the focus on our values and leadership development,” said Gert Schrijver, HR director Spain.

“I’m delighted that we’ve earned this recognition for a second time and proud that our people feel so happy to work here.”
