In February 2017, we were awarded the quality seal "Top Job - Top Employer 2017" as one of the best employers in the German middle class. Under the scientific direction of the Institute for Leadership and Human Resource Management at the University of St. Gallen, the best employers in the German middle class were determined by the Center for Employer Attractiveness.
