Best Workplace Award

Good working conditions in the office often also ensure a high employer attractiveness. This is why the employer evaluation platform kununu and the Industrieverband Büro und Arbeitswelt e. V. (IBA) award prizes to the "Best Workplaces" in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The special one: Only the employees of the award winners decide on the awarding of the prize with their evaluations.

Ratings for the Best Workplace Award 2019 could be submitted until May 26, 2019, at www.kununu.com. A total of around 16,000 employees took part in the survey and evaluated over 9,000 companies. Of these, more than 500 employers qualified for the competition "Best Workplace Award 2019". The ten best rated companies in each of the categories small (up to 49 employees), medium-sized (50 to 249 employees) and large (250 employees or more) can be found at http://info.kununu.com/best-workplace-award2019.

This year's winners will be announced on 18.09.2019, starting at 15.00 hrs as part of Zukunft Personal Europe in Cologne.

In 2018, around 10,000 employees from over 5,000 companies responded to the call to participate. In addition to general questions about their employer, they answered questions about their working environment, its furnishings, lighting and acoustic conditions and the information and communication technology available.
