Great Place to Work Institute named Hilti among top worldwide employers

Hilti placed 15th in the most recent international employer evaluation conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute, giving the company a top ranking among the world’s best companies. 

Schaan (FL), Liechtenstein, 5-11-2013 — /EuropaWire/ — In addition to 2011, when Hilti was ranked 15th, the company has again placed among the best international employers. The company’s proven strengths help separate it even from other top finishers: “The level of trust in management is particularly strong, placing Hilti significantly above the average of the best five companies in the world,” says Otto Zell from the Great Place to Work Institute in San Francisco, USA. Fairness and employee motivation are also particularly strong at Hilti. The company has once again shown that its serious attitude towards corporate culture is not merely based on location but must truly be lived out and implemented on a worldwide basis. The international evaluation of the Great Place to Work Institute has shown that the identical values-oriented climate is present at Hilti around the globe. Hilti invests some CHF 7.6 million annually in corporate culture workshops that involve all 21,000 employees.

With numerous top rankings at national levels, and having placed 9th in the European competition, Hilti’s most recent excellent showing at the global level is a confirmation of the company’s values-oriented emphasis for Hilti Executive Board Member Jörg Kampmeyer. “We continuously develop our corporate culture. This is a process that includes giving our employees a high sense of both value and performance orientation.

That this approach is ratified and acknowledged by our employees as well as by external experts, and that we continue to achieve this type of top ranking, makes us very proud.”
