Christiane Giesen, Chief Operating Officer and Labour Director of METRO AG: “We are very proud to have been certified as a top employer for the 11th time in a row. This award reflects our continuous commitment to creating a work environment where our employees feel valued, supported and inspired. At METRO, we strive to create an environment that not only promotes professional development but also supports diversity and collaboration – key elements for our business success as a global team”.
The Top Employers Institute certifies companies based on their participation and the results of their HR Best Practices Survey. The survey covers six HR areas with 20 topics, including HR strategy, work environment, ethics and integrity, learning, employer branding, digital HR and more. METRO performed particularly well in all countries in the areas of ethics and integrity, business strategy, leadership development, organization and change, and employer branding.
