The DRÄXLMAIER Group achieved a very good score, especially in the areas learning and performance management. It has been committed to further training for employees for many years and offers them comprehensive opportunities for personal development.

David Plink, CEO of the Top Employers Institute, says: “Exceptional times bring out the best in people and organizations. And we have witnessed this in our Top Employers Certification Programme this year: exceptional performance from the certified Top Employers 2024. These employers have always shown that they care for the development and well-being of their people. By doing so, they collectively enrich the world of work.”

The DRÄXLMAIER Group uses the detailed results of the award to continuously refine its processes. “We are particularly proud to be recognized as a Top Employer for the 16th time in a row. The award not only proves DRÄXLMAIER’s attractiveness as an employer, but also helps us to continuously develop through a detailed comparison with other top employers,” emphasizes Michael Malec, responsible for international human resources management at DRÄXLMAIER.
