Top Employer 2024

The challenging economic situation and uncertainty in the labor market over the past year have clearly highlighted the significant role employers play in shaping people's sense of security, motivation, and overall satisfaction.

It is during tough times that organizations truly stand out — those that can not only retain their people but also offer stability, strong values, and opportunities for growth.

This year’s Top Employer survey shows that people still care deeply about where and with whom they work, and they are willing to express their preferences. 10,000 people cast their votes for those they truly value. The fact that there are nine different winners across nine categories confirms that this recognition is not for everyone. These companies are remembered for a reason – they offer value, trust, and a sense of security at a time when it matters most.

The Top Employer title is not just an award to hang on the wall – it’s a mark of consistency, a strong work culture, and the ability to genuinely care for people. This survey gives companies a great opportunity to stand out where talent is on the move and to strengthen their employer brand in a trustworthy and meaningful way.

This title can’t be taken for granted. It must be earned!
