“Feedback matters. We make sure to lead a discussion and listen to our employees in all aspects, from the working environment, through benefits, work flexibility, to international career opportunities. We are strongly invested in making it happen and obviously it pays off,” explained Christian Schulz on stage when asked how the company achieved this triumph.
The survey allows the public to vote for companies that attract the best people in Slovakia through fair treatment of employees and the working environment employers create. Henkel Slovensko, while 9th in size amongst SSCs, was voted the winner by the public, leaving behind competitors with many more employees. Johnson Controls International spol. s. r. o. and Adient Slovakia s. r. o. took home 2nd and 3rd place, respectively.
In the recent year, Henkel Slovensko has implemented various initiatives to enable more flexible working conditions and stronger work-life balance. Besides the recently introduced home office and additional days off, employees benefit from the company’s own Kindergarten located at the Henkel Slovensko premises. The company has a long tradition focusing on many activities, which combine corporate social responsibility with the voluntary engagement of its employees. The Sustainability Ambassadors program is one of the most beloved amongst the employees. Within this program employees teach the pupils about sustainability, one of Henkel’s core values. School visits across all of Slovakia take place during working hours. Employees are encouraged to go back to their elementary schools, meet their former teachers, and share a valuable lesson with the present students
