DRÄXLMAIER impresses as an employer in international survey
DRÄXLMAIER had already been recognized in the two previous editions of the Forbes ranking in 2021 and 2022. The renewed honor with this important international employer seal is confirmation that the DRÄXLMAIER Group, with its more than 65 locations in over 20 countries, is perceived as a relevant and attractive employer worldwide. For the best list, Forbes magazine, in cooperation with Statista, anonymously asked more than 170,000 employees from over 50 countries whether they would recommend their company as an employer to friends or acquaintances. At the same time, the respondents were also asked to rate competitors from the respective sector. Only those who achieved top scores in all categories were able to qualify for the best list.
