TK Maxx has topped a list of the UK's friendliest workplaces.

Glassdoor, the jobs site, put TK Maxx at the top of a list of the 10 friendliest workplaces as decided by employees.

Friendliness is important in a workplace because it can be the reason why employees stay or leave work, regardless of career opportunities or salary, research has found.

It seems the high street is a friendly place to work with retailers dominating the top ten.

The survey is based on the proportion of employee's reviews from the UK that mentioned the word 'friend' from June 2009 until August 2015
