Fairness on the Job

Among others, 279 mechanical and plant engineering companies were considered. Only twelve of them scored at least 60 out of a possible 100 points, meeting the criteria for excellence. Busch Holding achieved second place among the mechanical and plant engineering companies with 98.7 out of 100 points. Across all sectors, around 300 of the 20,000 companies considered received awards.

“We are very pleased that our diverse activities in personnel support are bearing fruit. Busch knows how to respond to the individual needs of its employees, for example with flexible working hours or by providing support in personal or family situations. Likewise, we foster a positive and constructive culture of discussion at all levels, which gives our colleagues a lot of creative freedom. Foreign employees experience warm and professional onboarding with us,” explains Milena Hesse, Head of Human Resources Germany.
