Who Took the Top Spots? 

Schaeffler won for the first time in the automotive industry category, while DHL Group ranked highest in the transport and logistics sector. Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions Slovakia took first place in the IT and telecommunications category, and Agel claimed the top spot in healthcare. 

Meanwhile, Slovenská sporiteľňa, Henkel, McDonald’s, Lidl, Danucem, Sociálna poisťovňa, and Slovenské elektrárne successfully defended their first-place titles from last year at a gala evening in Bratislava’s Old market hall. Their long-term success suggests that investing in employee satisfaction truly pays off. 

Najzamestnávateľ poll is a prestigious award that annually evaluates and highlights companies with the best employee experience in Slovakia. Its goal is to recognize the most respected employers and inspire other companies to improve working conditions and corporate culture. 

The poll organizers continuously enhance transparency, ensuring fair and unique voting. This year, they focused on securing individual votes and revealed the names of 14 jury members during the voting period. These improvements make the poll a reliable reflection of the job market and a valuable benchmark for companies. 

New Feature: Employer Branding Talks 

A key addition this year was the Employer Branding Talks morning event, bringing together experts and representatives from leading companies. The discussions focused on building employer brands through real business stories, providing companies with practical tips to strengthen their position in the job market. Many corporate representatives appreciated this inspiring platform and its valuable insights. Alma Career plans to hold the event again in the spring. 

A total of 275 nominated companies participated in this year’s poll. Taking part offers several benefits, such as: 

  • Strengthening the company's image as an attractive employer
  • Gaining valuable employee feedback
  • Increasing visibility among potential talent 
"I would like to thank you for a fantastic evening at the Najzamestnávateľ event. We really appreciated the small changes made to the award ceremony. The hosts were excellent, we enjoyed the brief discussion with the jury, and limiting the stage to a maximum of three winners kept the evening dynamic. We’re thrilled with our 3rd place, and it has motivated us to keep pushing forward."
