Pliezhausen, 03.02.2021. In the study Germany’s Best Employers 2021, for which magazine stern and market research institute Statista surveyed more than 47,500 employees throughout Germany, DATAGROUP ranked 6th among the best employers in the IT and telecommunications industry. Stern published the results of the study in its issue of January 21, 2021.

The renowned market research institute Statista used anonymous and therefore employer-independent online access panels to survey employees about both their own employer and other employers in the industry. Decisive for the ranking was both the willingness to recommend one’s own employer and the recommendation of the company by other employees in the industry. A total of more than 1.7 million assessments were evaluated.

The survey, which took place in June and July 2020, also asked employees about employer image and growth, interactions and supervisor behavior, advancement and prospects, pay, conditions and equipment, sustainability, and stress and balance. The survey also reflects the difficult time of the Corona pandemic and how employers responded and impacted employees in response.

“As an IT service provider, we are only as good as our employees,” explains Dr. Sabine Laukemann, General Director HR at DATAGROUP. “And especially in such a highly competitive market for skilled workers, it is crucial that we as an employer offer our employees the right environment. We are very pleased to have scored so well in the study and it confirms that we are professional life partners for our employees and not just employers.”
