New awards for Kurtz Ersa
Looking back on the year 2018, one thing that catches the eye is the large number of awards for Kurtz Ersa as employer and training company. Focus assessed the comprehensive programme for our employees and honoured Kurtz Ersa with the awards “Top Career Opportunities for Graduates” and “Best Jobs with a Future” as well as “Top Career Opportunities for Engineers” and “Top Career Opportunities for IT Specialists”.
In the area of vocational training, with a training ratio of over 10%, Kurtz Ersa was awarded the maximum 25 points in the nationwide comparison “Germany’s Best Vocational Trainer” conducted by Capital magazine. Alongside such companies as Siemens, Airbus or Kärcher, Kurtz Ersa is therefore among the Top 5 Training Companies in the south of Germany. This achievement is underscored by the “Top Vocational Training” award of the ZEIT publishing group.
This is also reflected in the assessment provided by our own apprentices; for the third year in a row, Kurtz Ersa achieved recertification as an “Excellent Training Company” on the basis of an anonymous survey carried out among our apprentices and dual students. But vocational training and professional advancement are not the only strong suits at Kurtz Ersa: At the end of the year, in the context of the “Future Prize Main-Tauber”, Kurtz received an award as the company offering the best further training opportunities.
The positive working environment at Kurtz Ersa, career opportunities and family-friendly benefits also contributed to our staff voting us into a position among Germany’s Top 100 family-friendly companies. In a study carried out on the topic of family-friendliness by the magazine “Freundin” and the kununu platform, Kurtz Ersa took the 50th of the possible 100 places. The positive assessment of conditions at Kurtz Ersa was not restricted to family-friendliness but extended to all employee groups. For the third year in succession, this has led to Kurtz Ersa being able to proudly bear the kununu seals “Top Company” and “Open Company”. The recognition is awarded to employers who received a good rating on the basis of anonymous assessments on the kununu platform.
And this winning streak extends into the new year: At the end of 2018, Focus recognised Kurtz Ersa as an outstanding place to work with the award “Best Employer 2019”.
