The fact that we take on a leading part in project development is largely the result of our committed and highly motivated teams. Therefore, we want to say THANK YOU.”
Prior to the award “Germany’s best employers of 2012”, the juwi-employees were questioned on such essential topics as working atmosphere, acknowledgement and respect, team spirit, development opportunities, salary and workplace health promotion. Moreover, the quality of human resources and the leading management work was evaluated. In this respect, the overwhelming majority of employers certified that juwi is a “great place to work.”
“An important aspect certainly is that our employees identify themselves with the company’s goals”, explained Matthias Willenbacher and Fred Jung, the founders and CEOs of the juwi group. “Together we want to take the energy turnaround to the people, and we want to achieve a 100% energy supply with renewables. That’s our motivation, that’s our drive and that is what makes us good.”
juwi’s quality and attractiveness as an employer can also be seen in the various sports and recreational activities.
