Voluntary candidates for GPTW certification, Petitpierre and the Acrotec Group have been rewarded for the level of commitment, satisfaction and recognition of their employees, following an extensive internal survey carried out in their companies.
Acrotec Group is committed to employee fulfillment and satisfaction, and has called on the expertise of Great Place To Work (GPTW) to carry out its first anonymous satisfaction survey of all its companies’ employees, between May 29 and June 16, 2023.
” In choosing GPTW, we wanted to rely on an independent organization whose model and methodology have been tried and tested, enabling us to achieve genuine national and international recognition,” explains François Billig, CEO of Acrotec. This certification is a fine recognition of our corporate culture, which our employees truly recognize and appreciate.”
A questionnaire was therefore sent out to all Group employees, focusing on 5 major themes: credibility, respect, fairness, conviviality and pride. All in 73 questions.
GPTW certification is based on the following 4 criteria:
- The average satisfaction rate in the country concerned must be over 65%: Switzerland, Singapore, Indonesia and the United States are certified.
- Company-wide satisfaction rate must exceed 65%.
- The participation rate must be representative of the company as a whole.
- Company size: at least 10 employees
Based on these overriding criteria and their geographical location, Petitpierre and 15 other Acrotec Group companies have been awarded GPTW certification. But certification is not an end in itself. This work will enable all Group companies to access and analyze the results of the survey, and to implement actions to improve employee satisfaction, given that the participation rate exceeded 75% within the Acrotec Group.
This approach was decided by the Group’s management,” explains Adrien Delobel, ESG Manager at Acrotec. We wanted to demonstrate that our fine intentions are followed by action. Today, this certification and this approach enable us to concretely affirm our human resources policy, our values and the lessons to be learned for all Group companies in order to be better. It’s also a strong message to those who are positioning themselves on the job market and would like to join us. “
