Mobilizing People, Working as One Team
Worthington Cylinders is based in a rural part of Austria with historically
very low unemployment; low birth rates and the attractiveness of urban
areas have led to a shrinking population base in our region. Hence, one of
their main leadership focuses is
attracting and retaining the right
people. Worthington Cylinders
seeks to differentiate
themselves as an employer not
through more pay, but rather
with a high energy, transparent,
communicative, interesting, and
fun company culture and work
climate.
