Global employer rating strengthens position in the competition for talent
The building materials group Holcim is one of just 17 companies worldwide to have been recognised as a Global Top Employer by the Top Employers Institute. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received this certification.
Holcim has secured the Global Top Employer award from the Top Employers Institute for the second year running. According to a press release, a total of 27 Holcim subsidiaries across all regions have been certified as Top Employers. With 27 certified markets, Holcim achieved a global score of 87 per cent, thereby exceeding the global benchmark.
The Top Employers Institute rated Holcim particularly highly in the areas of Ethics & Integrity, Learning and Business Strategy. These results reflect the performance-oriented corporate culture that drives the Group’s NextGen Growth 2030 strategy, the press release states.
“A strategic growth driver of our NextGen Growth 2030 strategy is our performance culture and the value we create for employees, customers and shareholders. We call this the Holcim Spirit, which is focused on purpose, people and performance,” CEO Miljan Gutovic is quoted as saying. “This award belongs to our more than 45,000 colleagues who embody the Holcim Spirit every day and make Holcim an outstanding place to work.”
For the Top Employer award, companies are assessed against global standards in the areas of career development, learning, well-being and remuneration. Companies recognised as Global Top Employers must also be certified as regional Top Employers in a minimum number of countries and regions – including the country where their global headquarters are located.
Holcim is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, and employs more than 45,000 people globally across 43 markets, including Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
