Schenck Process is a top employer for engineers

In 2011, Schenck Process was again one of the "TOP employers for engineers" in Germany. It's the third consecutive year that the international Darmstadt-based company has won the accolade awarded by the independent research institute, CRF.

A total of 37 renowned companies qualified for the title this year. The companies were examined according to seven criteria: development opportunities, innovation management, internationality, job security, corporate culture, pay and work-life balance. The experts assessed the innovation management at Schenck Process as particularly positive as it secures a company's future development and is a key element of sustainable restructuring.
Schenck Process is also a top employer in terms of internationality. As a world market leader in measuring and process technology, the company employs around 2,600 members of staff around the world, more than 1000 of whom are engineers. They have the opportunity to deploy their know-how at 32 sites around the globe. In addition, the course is set for further international growth. Already well represented in Europe, Asia and North and South America, the company is also considering the possibility of expansion in Scandinavia and the Middle East.

CRF's evaluation doesn't just give companies a valuable insight into the quality of their work in Human Resources, it also gives applicants the opportunity to better evaluate potential employers. Because it's often the case that engineers are still spoilt for choice: above-average university graduates, applicants with high potential and specialist workers and managers who are willing to change are in high demand.

CRF has been identifying the most attractive employers in Germany since 1991 and recognises them for outstanding working and career conditions. The focal point of the study is the environment companies offer their employees and the possible career paths. The 2011 "Top employer for Engineers" study was carried out in collaboration with consultancy company A.T. Kearney the fourth consecutive year. The study is partly based on the companies' responses to an extensive questionnaire on human resource management. Independent business journalists also interview employees, managers and HR managers directly on site to complete the picture.

Detailed results of the study and extensive company portraits can be found in "Top-Arbeitgeber für Ingenieure" ("Top employers for engineers") published by W. Bertelsmann Verlag.
