Axpo participated in the Great Place to Work certification scheme for the first time in the 2022/23 financial year, as well as in the Best Workplaces award in Switzerland from Great Place to Work®. The Great Place to Work certification is based on an anonymous survey of employees. A decisive factor in certification is the so-called Trust Index™, which determines the quality of the workplace culture. Axpo scored particularly well in the areas of fairness with regard to nationality or ethnic origin, a culture of welcome, and pride in shared achievement. Furthermore, nearly 9 in 10 employees say that Axpo is generally a very good employer.
Building on the certification, Axpo also took part in the «Best Workplaces™ Switzerland» award, which recognizes special achievements in the development of trusting work relationships and the creation of attractive and favorable working conditions.
