Lenze rated as one of the best employers

When Lenze claims outstanding conditions for employees it isn’t just a claim, it is a proven reality. For the 16th time, the company has received an award from the  "Top Employers Institute" in Germany. It has certified that the Lenze, which is Headquartered in Hamelin, is one of the best employers in Germany and a preferred destination for engineers. Lenze says it is rightly proud to receive the Top Employer Germany and Top Employer Engineers – because only a company that continuously develops and successfully implements the best HR strategies can win awards like this.

Dirk Lehmann, Head of HR Development & HR International Lenze Group, is clearly pleased: "A lot of heart and soul goes into drawing the right conclusions from the results every year and putting appropriate measures into practice. That's why it's always a great confirmation that we can call ourselves Top Employer for another year."

Companies that are certified as Top Employers place their employees at the center of their entrepreneurial activities - and Lenze is no exception. It remains a technical company that develops, produces and commercialises innovations for tomorrow's production lines and methods, and competes with some of the  largest corporations for the best employees. It acknowledges the importance of continuously optimises the working environment to create modern and flexible working conditions, and to constantly invest in the development of employees. 

Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Despite the challenging year we have experienced which has made an impact on organisations around the globe, Lenze has continued to demonstrate the power of putting its people first in the workplace. We are proud to share this year’s announcement and congratulate the organisations which have been certified in their respective countries through the Top Employers Institute program.”

A characteristic feature of the Top Employer certification programme is the globally standardised examination process that all participating companies must undergo. The independent institute uses the so-called HR Best Practices questionnaire for this purpose. It assesses measures in six overarching HR dimensions: Steer, Shape, Attract, Develop, Engage and Unite. These include a total of 400 practices on which the participants must comment. 

The Top Employers Institute certifies companies worldwide for their outstanding employee conditions. Through the certification programme, companies can have their efforts evaluated and use the results to make improvements. Founded three decades ago, the Top Employers Institute this year recognised more than 1,600 Top Employers in 120 countries/regions, across five continents.
