For the fourth time, Brigitte magazine, in cooperation with the HR marketing professionals from Territory Embrace, has gone in search of the best companies for women, and for the fourth time, Weissenberg Business Consulting GmbH from Wolfsburg has been awarded 4 out of 5 possible stars as a women-friendly company. In total, 179 of the 292 companies received four or 5 stars. The assessment was based on an online questionnaire with 68 questions on the topics of measures for compatibility, flexibility of work, measures for career advancement and the importance of transparency and equality. The assessment also included the proportion of women in management positions and the companies’ self-imposed quotas for women.
“The importance of this topic for the companies is reflected in the number of participants, which increased once again this year. The renewed award confirms to us, but also to our customers and potential female employees, that our commitment to being more women-friendly in the company is sustainable. We don’t just write women-friendliness on our banner, we also live it in our daily office routine. We know the value of female employees for our company and therefore it goes without saying that we offer our female employees the same working conditions and career opportunities as their male colleagues and give them the opportunity to balance family and career via flexible working time models.”
- Milad Safar, Managing Partner
