Gallup has officially announced that Provident Hungary, part of International Personal Finance (IPF), a leading provider of consumer credit, will be a recipient of their 2013 Great Workplace Award.
The Gallup Great Workplace Award is based on the most rigorous workplace research ever conducted. A panel of workplace experts evaluated the award-winning organisations and Provident Hungary has been accorded the accolade because its results demonstrate one of the most productive and engaged workforces in the world.
The award is made award annually after comparing applicants’ results across a research database composed of millions of work teams in more than 100 countries.
Gerard Ryan, said: ‘The Gallup Great Workplace Award signifies the most engaged and productive companies in the world and I’m delighted our Hungarian team has been recognised for its outstanding ability to create an engaged workplace culture, not only compared to other Hungarian businesses, but on a worldwide scale.
‘This is great news for our employees and ultimately our customers, who will benefit from being served by a more engaged workforce.
‘We know the positive effects of a people-focussed approach helps to drive significant business improvements, and this award is particularly important because it explicitly makes this link."
The award was made following four years of concerted effort to drive better performance through a great workplace culture by Botond Szirmák, Provident Hungary’s leader, and his team.
Botond said: ‘I am delighted that Provident Hungary will receive this significant award. It’s a great boost for our team and, as the first recipient of this award in Hungary, a great boost for our business’s reputation. We’re very proud to have come such a long way in the past four years and looking forward to continued success.in 2013.’
The award itself will be collected in a ceremony at Gallup’s annual summit in Omaha, Nebraska, in early May.
