In 2018, Weidmüller again belongs to the best employers for engineers in Germany. The renowned Top Employers Institute awards the Detmold-based electrical engineering and automation specialist as Top Employer Germany Engineers 2018. Through the multi-stage analysis and review process, the Detmold family-owned company received very good ratings and convinced the jury during the evaluation process. "Satisfied and committed employees who identify with our company are the foundation for achieving our corporate goals," explains Frank Pellmann, Head of Human Resources Management Germany at Weidmüller. "We invest heavily in the working environment and working conditions of our employees to ensure that they can develop both professionally and personally. We are all the more pleased to receive this award for the 10th time."

The electrical engineering company was particularly recognized for its continuous optimization of the working environment for employees: "Our detailed investigation has shown that the Weidmüller Group has created an outstanding employee environment and continuously works on optimizing this environment. This includes, among other things, offering innovative secondary benefits, creating modern and flexible working conditions, and implementing effective performance management that is fully aligned with the corporate culture," explains Steffen Neefe, Country Manager DACH of the Top Employers Institute. With its in-house academy, the company also has an institution that consolidates professional training and development opportunities for its employees. "We invest in the future of our employees with a variety of training programs—and thus also in the future of our company," emphasizes Pellmann.

Since 1991, the Top Employers Institute has been examining employers worldwide with outstanding personnel management and strategy. Participants were evaluated based on talent strategy, workforce planning, onboarding, training and development, performance management, leadership development, career & succession planning, compensation & benefits, and corporate culture. To enhance the significance and value of the entire certification process, all results were additionally subjected to an independent external review and audit.
