Why work at Harrods? A closer look at our employee benefits

When people ask why work at Harrods, they’re usually thinking about more than just the job itself. They want to know what it feels like to be here day to day, what support looks like, how you’re treated and whether you can build something long-term.

At Harrods, our employee benefits are part of that bigger picture. They’re designed to support you in work and outside of it, helping you feel confident, valued and able to focus on doing your best. From everyday savings to career development, it all comes back to creating an environment where people can thrive.

Everyday employee benefits that make a difference

Some of the most useful benefits are the ones that make life that bit easier. With a Harrods Rewards card, colleagues can enjoy up to 33% discount in-store. Alongside that, there’s access to thousands of offers across retail, travel, utilities and entertainment through our benefits platform. It’s the kind of support that helps your money go a bit further without needing to think too much about it.

It’s a simple reflection that We Are Human. We know that the everyday things matter, recognising that work fits into a wider life, and the right support goes a long way.

Financial wellbeing benefits that support you long term

Financial wellbeing is about feeling in control and prepared for what’s ahead. That’s why we offer a pension scheme alongside broader financial support, helping you plan for the future while staying on top of things now. Whether you’re building savings or just looking for more stability, the aim is to give you financial confidence over time.

Health and wellbeing benefits at Harrods

Feeling your best, both physically and mentally, makes a difference to how you show up at work. At Harrods, there’s access to healthcare plans, gym discounts and wellbeing initiatives such as flu jabs and mental health training. There’s also support beyond the workplace through Retail Trust, our Employee Assistance Programme, offering confidential help whenever it’s needed.

It’s not overcomplicated. It’s about making sure support is there when you need it, whether that’s something immediate or something you’re working through over time.

Time away from work that actually feels like a break

Work is important, but time off matters just as much. That’s why there’s a focus on giving you time for the moments that matter, whether that’s your birthday off or support around key life events like getting married or welcoming a new addition to your family.

It’s a small thing on paper, but it adds up. Having that time to reset or celebrate makes a difference to how you feel. That balance is how We Strive To Exceed. It’s not just about pushing forward at work, but making sure you can come back feeling ready to do your best.

Learning and development to build your career at Harrods

Development is a big part of why people choose to work at Harrods. Here, learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some people learn best through hands-on experience, others through structured programmes or mentoring. At Harrods, there’s space for all of that.

From apprenticeships and development programmes to mentoring opportunities and workshops, there are different ways to build your skills depending on where you are in your career. Programmes like DRIVE and LISTEN mentoring create connections across the business, while development pathways help you prepare for future roles.

Real career progression

Progression isn’t a buzzword at Harrods. Here, we give you the support to take your next step, whatever that looks like.

Our Career Clinics offer practical guidance, whether you’re looking to move into a new department, build new skills, or prepare for an internal opportunity. It’s a chance to have real conversations about where you want to go and how to get there.

This is how We Build Trust across the team. You’re given the tools, the guidance and the space to grow, with the confidence that development is part of the journey here.

A workplace where you feel like you belong

Feeling like you belong at work changes everything. We have a real focus on creating an environment where people feel included and valued. Diversity is in our DNA, and there’s a genuine effort to ensure everyone feels seen and heard.

Belonging Networks play a big part in this, bringing colleagues together and creating space to share experiences and shape the workplace together. It’s not a separate initiative, rather it’s part of how the business works day to day.

That sense of belonging shows that We Are One. We’re built on the power of different perspectives and a workplace where individuality is truly valued.
