Best Employers Study is a regional initiative of Hewitt Associates. The Best Employers in each of the 12 CEE countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Ukraine) included in the survey are ranked to deliver the Best Employers for CEE.
The study, which surveyed nearly 120,000 employees, 3,000 senior leaders and 600 companies in 12 countries, shows that Best Employers with highly engaged teams are more successful both in achieving and exceeding business goals, as well as attracting, retaining and motivating their key resource - talent.
The list of large companies was topped by McDonald’s Russia, with Microsoft Slovenia heading the list for small and medium size companies. Microsoft also received a special recognition for demonstrating regional excellence as a Best Employer. Microsoft entered the competition in seven countries – Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine - and achieved excellent results in each country.
