The award was preceded by an extensive audit of the company’s human resources processes, policies and practices by the Top Employer Institute. As one of the world’s leading mill-independent materials distributors and service providers, thyssenkrupp Materials Services is one of 173 German employers to receive the award this year.
thyssenkrupp Materials Services particularly impressed the jury in the areas of employer brand, talent
acquisition, well-being, ethics and integrity, sustainability, and employee feedback. The company
achieved full marks in the ethics and integrity category, among other things, thanks to the consistent
implementation of the Code of Conduct and the early piloting of an ethics framework for the use of
artificial intelligence.
“We are very proud of this Top Employer award. It shows that our human resources work is also recognized by external parties and confirms what we learn from our annual employee survey: Our corporate culture, diverse career opportunities and comprehensive occupational health and safety are what particularly distinguish us as an employer. We want to continue offering our employees good working conditions in the future. They are the basis for our company’s success and that of our customers,” says Dr. Marc Schlette, CHRO and Labor Director of thyssenkrupp Materials Services.
