AWK Group awarded the Prix Balance d'encouragement

The certificate of recognition awarded recognizes progressive conditions that promote compatibility. This includes best practices such as diversity, flexible working time models for men and women, and a compatibility culture that sends clear signals for a future-oriented working environment and a sustainable investment in employees. With a compatibility index of 79%, AWK performs 7% better overall than the average of the companies participating in the Prix BalanceZH and exceeds the average of its competitors' results in 15 out of 17 points in the study.

For AWK, the recognition as an employer associated with the certification is an important confirmation of the path taken and at the same time a great motivation to continue to responsibly exploit existing optimization potential. The focus is always on offering AWK employees an appreciative corporate culture, actively living equal opportunities, and specifically promoting the balance between private interests and professional requirements.

"We are thrilled. This award reflects the appreciation of our employees and clearly shows that our ongoing commitment to optimal working conditions is positively received. At the same time, our certification strengthens AWK's external perception as an attractive employer," comments Sandra Crouse, Human Resources Manager at AWK Group.

The Prix BalanceZH is a certification for employers with outstanding conditions for work-life balance. Since 2011, the Office for Equality has been awarding employers in the Canton of Zurich with the Prix BalanceZH. This time, Great Place to Work was involved as an independent partner and responsible for the methodology, implementation and evaluation of the award. This year, a total of seven companies received the Prix Balance d'encouragement for their courageous commitment.
