The company PPL is a Top Employer and a Great Place to Work

“We both pleased and proud that PPL has been awarded these two internationally acknowledged certificates. 2021 was full of challenges and another record year in terms of consignments delivered: we delivered 55 million consignments to our customers. We are aware of the fact that the provision of high-quality professional services is not a given, in particular over the recent challenging years. In spite of all the technical conveniences and innovations, it is our colleagues throughout the PPL organisation who give our service a face, emotions and the ever-present/essential passion.  Our company’s successes are mainly down to the great people in PPL who generate a friendly working environment where the customer is the centre of attention,” says Petr Horák, CEO of PPL. 

The Top Employer survey looks at six areas associated with human resources and focuses on themes from this area, including strategy, working environment, gaining talents, education, diversity and inclusion, as well as others. 

 “When we look back on the last two difficult years, which have placed enormous demands on organisations throughout the world, we can say that the company PPL has shown that employees are crucial for it, and one can also say that it is successfully dealing with the challenges of a changing world”, says Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink. 
                                                                                                               
The organisation Top Employers Institute is a global authority for recognising an outstanding approach to work with employees. The Institute was founded more than 30 years ago, and since that time it has certified more than 1857 organisations in 123 countries or regions. Employers who have gained the Top Employer award have a positive influence on the lives of more than 8 million employees throughout the world.
PPL was also recently awarded the one-year certification Great Place to Work, which is granted on the basis of independent and anonymous feedback from employees and an analysis of the activities and programmes carried out in the human resources field. Every year the organisation Great Place to Work awards certification to excellent international, national and regional employers. The institute, based in Cologne, was founded in 2002.

“Good employers have one thing in common: they are committed to credible, fair leadership and the active promotion of employees. Respect, trust and team spirit are important parts of corporate culture,“ says Sebastian Diefenbach, Head of Customer Consulting at Great Place to Work.

“We are extremely pleased that our employees rated us so highly in the anonymous survey. For us Great Place to Work certification is also a valuable inspiration that we can build on as an employer,” adds CEO PPL Petr Horák.
