March 22, 2024 | Reinsprecht Lucia
Based on results from over 200,000 employee evaluations, the family-owned company, which has been in existence for over 80 years, excels in providing excellent working conditions and instilling trust in its solid corporate image among its employees in the representative survey. The entrepreneurial couple, Horst and Andrea Felbermayr, are particularly pleased with the recognition of Felbermayr's commitment. Despite multiple crises, generous investments have been made in the company's growth and work environment. "We strive to provide jobs that motivate," say the directors of the family business.
Investment in Workplace Quality
"Last year, we invested around 30 million euros in real estate and properties to enhance the attractiveness of workplaces and locations," says CEO Horst Felbermayr. In addition, approximately 120 million euros are invested annually in a modern fleet of vehicles. This expenditure not only ensures operational reliability but also enhances the driving comfort for chauffeurs and machine operators. "At Felbermayr, we strive to foster talents within the team, open paths upwards, and provide the latest equipment, modern technology, and a pleasant working environment," explains Andrea Felbermayr, responsible for personnel development within the company.
Strong Reputation
With 76 locations in 17 European countries, Felbermayr provides comprehensive services in construction, transportation, and lifting technology. The survey also reflects Felbermayr's excellent reputation among its approximately 3,200 employees through solid growth and continuous investments in employer quality. For instance, the willingness to recommend their employer to acquaintances or family members was assessed. Andrea Felbermayr is pleased with the positive word of mouth. Her goal is for every employee to go to work with a smile on their face. To achieve this, the management does a lot to make the work environment as attractive as possible and to promote the skills of the employees – continuous employee discussions and individual training programs attest to this. Furthermore, the modernly designed company headquarters in Wels features a separate social building. The childcare facility housed within has been branded as "Motion-Kids." Additionally, there is a fitness studio and an employee restaurant with fresh cuisine in the social building. Moreover, Felbermayr offers an extensive sports program, including spinning and yoga classes, aimed at promoting corporate health under the motto "Motion-Heros."
The "Top Employer" Award
The "Top Employer" seal provides employees with important guidance: the result is based on a representative survey conducted by Statista, employer evaluations on Kununu, and a survey of Xing members. Over 220,000 judgments from a total of 8,000 employees from 1,400 companies are used for evaluation. The best 300 employers in 20 industries are identified and honored with the title "Best Employers in Austria."
