To attract new employees or to retain existing ones, companies in Upper Austria come up with many ideas. This varies from a private shuttle service from the train station to work, to e-cars that can be used privately to a dog bonus.
In the spring, an E-Mini Cooper will be raffled among all employees of the five companies, with which they can drive for free for a year! With this move, Gebrüder Krings Bergbahnen GmbH in Obertauern is not only causing a stir, but also showing what companies can come up with to attract employees.
What are the companies doing in Upper Austria? “We are deliberately not participating in this competition in order to maximize the attractions and the shortest working hours,” said Veronika Leibetseder, operational manager of Dynatrace’s development sites. But the software manufacturer is doing one thing: it introduced its own wellness days, on which almost all 3,600 employees worldwide are free.
Shuttle service from the train station to the workplace
Fabasoft installed a shuttle that takes employees from the train station in Linz to the head office of the software manufacturer and back. While plastics processor agru is even building its own curling rink at its Bad Hall factory, FACC gives each employee a day off on his birthday.
E-car campaign is being expanded
This year, Greiner delivered privately usable electric commercial vehicles for the first time. The lease model is very popular and is being expanded. GPS tracker manufacturer traction gives employees three vacation days if a dog moves in with them.
