Staff satisfaction & training
Impact
The development ENGEL has undergone in
the decades leading up to today is the result of
the commitment and daily work of every single
member of our workforce. First and foremost,
the company owes its gratitude to all of its
employees. Day by day, they further advance
ENGEL along the road to success and are the
driving force behind the continuing development
of our company. ENGEL is proud of its
employees, who are always willing to go the
extra mile it takes to satisfy the needs of our
customers in the best possible way. ENGEL
believes that the satisfaction of its employees
is a fundamental need, both in their work environment
as well as their private lives. This is
why the company has made staff satisfaction a
top priority. This is not only owed to business-related
considerations but to a large degree
to the perspective taken by a family-owned
company with a rich tradition. The satisfaction
of employees at the workplace as a result of
work conditions, corporate culture, training and
professional development opportunities has a
major impact on their quality of life, both in a
private and work context.

work one of its top priorities.”

By offering modern work conditions, an
appreciating corporate culture and extensive
development opportunities, ENGEL intends to
provide its employees with a work environment
that lets them feel good and allows them to
harness their full potential. ENGEL always guarantees
fair work conditions. ENGEL is aware
that a successful business development is
only possible with employees who are mentally
and physically healthy and stay healthy over
the long term. The company has gone beyond
the statutory requirements and committed to a
variety of voluntary measures, regulations and
processes.
At ENGEL, the collective labour agreement
of the metallic industry is used as the foundation
of social dialogue and fair practices between
employees and employer. Therefore we
are fully compliant with all required measures
and obligations of the agreement such as the
compensation of additional working ours, or the
communication of remuneration procedures.
ENGEL seeks to offer its employees an attractive
work environment that is going beyond
this agreement. This is achieved by multiple
factors, including first and foremost interesting
and challenging jobs in a global company.
ENGEL provides its employees with modern,
bright and air-conditioned premises as well as
ergonomic workplaces and high quality food in
the company’s restaurants. As a family-owned
company, ENGEL has made a balanced relationship
between family and work one of its top
priorities. ENGEL therefore offers employees the
option of flexible working hours, part-time and
flexitime contracts (including for shift workers,
work environment permitting), remote working
arrangements and in-house daycare facilities
at the company’s sites in Austria. In spring 2023,
