“We see the Top Employer certification as a reward for all the work we are doing daily to ensure the best working environment and conditions for our employees and as well as an encouragement to continue with our people strategy. As found in our company values, the respect for people is part of our DNA. It is why our employees have always been our priority and especially their health and safety during this challenging sanitary context. Every day, we aim to help our employees create valuable careers, relevant for their skill sets. We foster transparent communication, we build offline and online connection, we empower our employees to be an active part of the company and we train the leadership team to provide the right guidance to their team members. We constantly work on improving the overall employee experience, from the very first interview until the off-boarding and this certification shows that we are doing a good job. This is why we are a Top Employer”, stated Agata Trzcianowska, Personnel Director Michelin Central Europe.

Michelin registered a higher score, as compared to 2020, in areas like talent acquisition and on-boarding, a great achievement of the human resources team considering the pandemic context and the major switch towards digital of the majority of our processes of recruitment and on-boarding. Other areas like learning and development and organizational culture were also scored higher than 2020. These are the result of the wide array of online classes available for employees on our internal platform and of the engaging activities that we deployed in 2020 in an effort to stay connected, remain a team despite of the lockdown or the distancing required by the sanitary context.

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