In five years, the company has improved its overall certification score by as much as 14 percentage points, from 70% to nearly 84%. The evaluation process, conducted by the international TOP Employers Institute, took into account, among other things, talent search, HR strategy, training and development or building a diverse workplace.
"This year's award, given in one of the most prestigious certifications for employers, is particularly significant because it confirms the long-term positive effects of the change in organizational culture that we have implemented in recent years. Turbulent times require employers to respond adequately to the changing needs of employees and engage in regular dialog. I would like to thank the entire Team, with whom we have jointly developed a plan to achieve the position of employer of choice and are consistently implementing it," says Wojciech Orzech, CEO of PKP Energetyka.
The company's development and transformation is best illustrated by the year-on-year growth in the various areas under review.

The area of developing leadership skills in 2022 rose to 100%, while in 2019 it was at 71%, and the rate in the area of acquiring new talent rose from 72% and remains at nearly 93%.
"I am very pleased that year after year we are making progress in building a safe, friendly and diverse workplace. It is also an appreciation of the daily efforts of our MOCny Skład [POWERful Team]. Confirmation of the right direction of our activities is also provided by the commitment of more than 4,000 employees, which has remained at a very high level for several years. The result of almost 70% significantly exceeds the sector average, placing us among the best employers, and is a motivation for us to carry out more projects" comments Anna Przygoda, Director of the Human Resources Department.
