Management approach to employees
The primary objective of all HR measures within the KION Group is to support its Strategy 2020 and ensure its targeted implementation. To this end, it aims to employ a sufficient number of very highly qualified and highly motivated employees at all times in every area of its Company and at every operating level. To secure and retain such employees, the KION Group and its operating units position themselves as attractive employers that offer their employees interesting development opportunities. The KION Group is constantly enhancing its employer brands – something that is repeatedly recognised outside the Company too.
Top Employer
In 2016 STILL was announced ‘Top Employer Germany’, marking the fifth time in a row it had received one of the world’s most renowned awards for its HR strategy and employee focus from the Top Employers Institute certification company. This certification is further boosted by the ‘Germany’s best employer’ employer ranking. Based on over 100,000 employee ratings, the German magazine FOCUS in collaboration with the business network XING and the employer rating portal kununu, determines which are Germany’s top 1,000 employers. The critical factors here are recommendation of the company by its own employees as well as other employees’ perception of the company within the industry.
