Award for employer qualities
Willenbrock honored as best employer
Willenbrock Fördertechnik has received the "Top Job" trophy for outstanding employer qualities in Berlin. 98 medium-sized companies applied for the award.
As an authorized Linde dealer, Willenbrock Fördertechnik sells forklift trucks and warehouse trucks of all classes and sizes. As a logistics service provider, the company's portfolio also includes solutions for all aspects of internal material flow. On February 22, the company received the "Top Job" seal of approval from the former Federal Minister of Economics, Wolfgang Clement. He praised Willenbrock Fördertechnik in particular for its strategic focus on securing a sustainable supply of skilled workers and the continuous and systematic development of its qualities as an employer.
Flexible working hours, financial and personal incentives
"Our employees are our most valuable 'capital'," says Kai Froböse, Managing Director of Willenbrock Fördertechnik, explaining the importance of attractive conditions. In addition to modern workplaces, the company also offers attractive wages and numerous benefits. These include pension subsidies as well as subsidized memberships in health, fitness and sports facilities, and regular health days and advice sessions are also organized. Employees can also work part-time or "mobile", and reduced hours and time off are also possible. In order to promote "lifelong learning", the company also has an academy that offers ongoing professional and personal training. "Every employee is encouraged to attend at least one seminar per year," explains the Managing Director.
98 applicants, 16,740 respondents
A total of 16,740 employees from the 98 applicants were surveyed to determine the winner. Former Vice-Chancellor and Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel thanked all the entrepreneurs in his speech at the award ceremony: "Ownership is an obligation. Its use should also be for the common good. It is above all the medium-sized companies in Germany that fulfill this constitutional mandate with their willingness to train young people".
