Provident Hungary, part of International Personal Finance (IPF), has been awarded the prestigious Best Workplace in Hungary award for companies with more than 1,000 employees.
The prestigious award, organised by HR consultancy, Aon Hewitt, asked over 30,000 employees and 500 managers of almost 100 companies to evaluate their workplaces. According to the survey results, Provident’s employees are almost 30 per cent more satisfied than employees of an ‘average company.’
This year was the 12th time that the world’s leading HR and outsourcing consultancy firm, Aon Hewitt, has conducted the survey in Hungary. In the Best Workplace survey every employee has the opportunity to give anonymous feedback about their employer and the results are used to determine which companies employees are most engaged and motivated.
The survey questioned employees on issues such as leadership, the focus on performance, the appeal of the brand and sustainability. An incredible 98 per cent of the company’s workforce of almost 4,000 took part in the voluntary survey and rated the company’s performance as excellent in all the above areas.
Encouragingly the survey reported that Provident’s Hungarian employees find their workplace 30% more attractive than the average business and they are more likely to recommend Provident as a place to work than other organisation’s employees.
One of the key drivers for this high level of advocacy is the fact that Provident’s employees are focused on the company’s strategic vision and the employee value proposition is well understood. Furthermore that the company’s employees feel the senior management’s communication is open and honest. As a consequence they trust the management’s business decisions and have confidence in the long-term growth and sustainability of the business.
Botond Szirmák, Country Manager of Provident Hungary was delighted with the accolade. He said: “Provident is already one of the biggest employers in Hungary with approximately 4,000 employees, but it was our ambition to be one of the best. I am proud we have achieved this as it could only happen with the support and dedication of all our colleagues.
Gerard Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of IPF, added: “At Provident one of our most important values is trust and this is built on open and honest communication - and we can only achieve this by involving, developing and empowering our colleagues.”
