Best employer for engineers: Award for Phoenix Contact confirms high level of employee dedication

May 2, 2019

The consistent commitment of creating an attractive working environment for its employees is a deciding factor for Phoenix Contact once again being awarded “Top Employer for Engineers” and being in the top of the overall rankings.

“Phoenix Contact is ranked among the companies that continually use the results of the survey to further improve conditions for employees”, states the explanation. The multi-stage research and audit process of the Top Employers Institute highlighted a holistic and comprehensive concept of the personnel strategy, ranging from training and development to working conditions, right through to performance management that is consistent with the company culture. The onboarding process is started as soon as new employees start at the company, the program not only provides an introduction to the workplace, but ensures they learn the basic principles about Phoenix Contact, and get to know different departments within the company. This program, that combines e-learning and classroom-based events, helps new employees to establish new contacts more quickly and to familiarize themselves with the company values.

This eleventh award as the “Top Employer for Engineers” emphasizes the company’s approach to offer its employees future-oriented further development and continuous optimization of the working environment. “The changes brought about by digitalization not only affect our products and processes, but also our workplaces,” explains Gunther Olesch, CHRO at Phoenix Contact. This is why a competence model, that also focuses on the digital skills that are important for the digital transformation, was developed. These technical and methodological skills can be used to derive targeted development measures that will prepare employees for the new requirements, technologies, and processes.
