COSCO Logistics (Europe) is Hamburg's best employer in logistics

The logistics industry in the Hamburg metropolitan region has earned its reputation as a job engine. From 2006 to 2013 alone, the number of people directly employed in logistics rose to 168,000. 380,000 people in the metropolitan region earn their money with and through logistics. Due to the constant growth, there is also a constant need for workers. Adapting working conditions to the needs and wishes of employees and investing in their health and satisfaction is therefore becoming increasingly important, even essential.

Personnel diagnostician Werner Sarges from Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg and IMWF Institute for Management and Economic Research have selected "Hamburg's Best Employers" for the eighth time in a row and for the fourth time in a row, as the only special prize, also explicitly in the logistics sector. On Tuesday evening, the winners of the "Hamburg's Best Employers 2016" competition were presented with their awards at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce.

For the competition, Professor Sarges and his team analyzed the objective employer qualities of the participating companies by means of a management and employee survey in accordance with scientific standards. Seals are awarded in ranks of three, four and five stars. The aim of the process is for companies to find out where their strengths and weaknesses lie in the battle for sought-after specialists - and for applicants to find out where they can find the best working conditions. red
