Team spirit and satisfaction drive success in companies
The evaluation was based on an anonymous survey of AMCON employees covering key workplace topics such as trust, identification, team spirit, professional development, compensation, health promotion, and work-life balance. Additionally, the quality of personnel and leadership measures within the company was assessed. “The award represents a good and future-oriented corporate culture, characterized by values such as trust, appreciation, and team spirit,” says Andreas Schubert, Managing Director of the German Great Place to Work® Institute. “Attractive and future-focused working conditions are a key factor for employee retention and business success.” 91 percent of the surveyed AMCON employees said, “I am proud of what we achieve here together,” 94 percent enjoy coming to work, and 97 percent agreed with the statement: “New employees feel welcome here.”
