KBC Takes First Place in the "Best Employers in Consulting 2019" Competition
Munich– KBC is celebrating! This year, the company took first place in the Great Place to Work competition “Best Employers in Consulting 2019” in the category for companies with fewer than 50 employees.
A reason to pop the corks and raise a glass to the award. Managing Director Stefan Kemény is particularly pleased that the evaluation was based on a detailed anonymous survey of employees:
“I’ve looked at the results in detail, and I’m still impressed and grateful to receive such wonderful feedback from the team. What sets us apart is the special spirit at KBC. Employees not only enjoy coming to work, but they also feel like family here and sense this special team spirit. They see the genuine interest that managers have in them as individuals—not just as workers—and the recognition they receive for their good work and exceptional dedication. I am proud to be part of the KBC team and would like to thank everyone for their great trust, this remarkable rating, and this award.”
General information about the competition:
The award was preceded by a detailed anonymous survey of KBC employees on key workplace topics such as trust in management, quality of collaboration, appreciation, identification with the company, career development opportunities, compensation, health promotion, and work-life balance. In addition, management was surveyed on supportive HR initiatives and programs within the company. The results of the two internationally recognized assessment tools (Great Place to Work® Employee Survey + Culture Audit) were weighted in a 2:1 ratio; thus, the direct assessment by employees takes precedence.
Consulting firms of all sizes and from all industry segments participated in the latest Great Place to Work® industry competition, “Best Employers in Consulting.” They underwent a voluntary assessment of the quality and attractiveness of their workplace culture by the independent Great Place to Work® Institute and were evaluated by their own employees. The list of the best employers was determined from the entire pool of participants (with benchmarking differentiated by company size). Regardless of their ranking on the list of top employers, all participants benefited from the detailed assessment of their current status and the insights gained to further their development as good and attractive employers.
The partners of the Great Place to Work® industry initiative, launched in 2016, and the “Best Employers in Consulting” competition are the Federal Association of German Management Consultants (BDU) and the industry platform Consulting.de. The initiative is part of the nationwide “Germany’s Best Employers” competition, which has been held annually since 2002.
