For the fifth year running, ConSol* is one of Germany’s best employers
The Munich-based full-service IT provider is one of the top 3 employers among companies with up to 500 employees
For the fifth year running, ConSol*, the Munich-based full-service IT provider for small and medium-sized clients and large corporations, has been ranked among the leaders in the “Germany’s Best Employers” competition. ConSol* impressed in the “Great Place to Work Institute Deutschland” benchmark test as the top employer in the category of companies with up to 500 employees. The distinction was awarded on February 24 at the Ritz Carlton in Berlin, Germany. The presenter at the evening reception was Ursula von der Leyen, German Federal Minister for Labor and Social Affairs.
“Given the current crisis, it takes courage for a company to subject itself to the critical judgment of its employees. We are all the more happy to be consistently counted among one of Germany’s top employers,” explained the founder and CEO of ConSol*, Dr. Ulrich Schwanengel. “This competition provides the ideal platform for us to promote ourselves as an attractive employer. It is also an excellent benchmark for us: To what extent have our improvement measures been successful? Where is there more to do? Transparency and openness are of paramount importance for us. Our employees are simply proud to work at a ‘Great Place to Work.’”
The ConSol* corporate culture is designed in such a way that people are always at its center. All employees are hired, assessed, and respected simply according to their professional and interpersonal skills. Salaries at ConSol* are not based on gender, instead they are purely performance related. ConSol* promotes the employment of women quietly, without a quota system but pragmatically, which means our policy is much more effective. This commitment is paying off. The company is not only more successful, it is also creating new jobs.
The evaluation
Every year, the Great Place to Work Institute empirically investigates workplace culture according to criteria such as credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and team spirit. As part of this process, 60 individual aspects that determine the relationships between employees and the management, their colleagues, and the company as a whole are examined. The anonymous vote of employees makes up two thirds of the evaluation. The employer’s human resources department must also undergo a comprehensive audit of its workplace culture. This result makes up one third of the evaluation.
