Grupo Orenes has secured recognition as one of Spain's best employers, earning a coveted spot in the Best Workplaces ranking for companies with more than 1,000 employees. The achievement marks a historic milestone for the gaming and entertainment company, which employs over 4,000 people nationwide.
Breaking Regional and Sector Barriers
The recognition from Great Place To Work places Grupo Orenes in an exclusive category, making it the first company from the Region of Murcia to obtain this prestigious award. Even more significantly, it becomes the first company in the gaming, leisure and entertainment sector to achieve this distinction in the large employer category.
This dual achievement underscores the company's unique position in Spain's business landscape, where workplace excellence in the gaming sector has historically been underrepresented in major employment rankings.

Employee-Driven Success
The Best Workplaces recognition stems directly from employee feedback, with staff highlighting their pride in belonging to the organization, trust in leadership, and the quality of their work environment. These assessments form the foundation of Great Place To Work's evaluation methodology, making employee satisfaction the primary driver of recognition.
Félix Alarcón, director of Human Resources at Grupo Orenes, emphasized the collective nature of this achievement:
“Being part of the Best Workplaces ranking is a source of pride and, above all, a responsibility. This recognition belongs to all the people who make up Grupo Orenes and who, with their daily commitment, make it possible to build a solid, innovative and people-centered company.”
— Félix Alarcón, Director of Human Resources
Great Place To Work Methodology
Great Place To Work evaluates companies through a two-part assessment: anonymous employee surveys measuring trust, pride, and camaraderie, plus a comprehensive Culture Audit examining management practices, benefits, and workplace policies. Companies must meet minimum participation thresholds and maintain consistent scores across demographic groups to qualify for rankings.
Strategic Focus on Human Capital
Alarcón further outlined the company's people-first approach:
“This recognition reflects the constant work we have been developing to place people at the center of our strategy. We are committed to creating an environment in which each professional can develop, add value and feel part of a common project. Being recognized as one of the best places to work in Spain encourages us to continue advancing in initiatives that promote well-being, continuous training and professional and personal development.”
— Félix Alarcón, Director of Human Resources
Building Employee-Centered Culture
Companies seeking similar recognition should focus on three key areas: transparent communication channels between management and staff, comprehensive professional development programs beyond basic training, and measurable well-being initiatives that address both workplace stress and career advancement opportunities.
Leadership Through Example
The historic nature of the achievement carries additional weight for the company's leadership responsibilities:
“Being the first company from Murcia and from the gaming, leisure and entertainment sector to achieve this milestone reinforces our responsibility as a company and drives us to continue leading by example, fostering a culture based on trust, closeness and recognition of talent.”
— Félix Alarcón, Director of Human Resources
Setting New Industry Standards
This recognition positions Grupo Orenes as a benchmark for workplace culture in Spain's gaming sector, potentially influencing industry-wide standards for employee satisfaction and corporate culture. The company's success in a traditionally overlooked sector demonstrates how gaming and entertainment companies can achieve excellence in human resource management while maintaining operational competitiveness.
