diva-e is an excellent place to work: The digital service provider was awarded the prestigious Stevie Gold Awards for its particularly flexible working models and modern New Work offerings. In the "Special Achievements in Human Resources" category, the company impressed the jury with the fact that employees are allowed to work from other EU countries for up to 90 days a year and with the team workations that several teams carry out each year.
"We are delighted with this award and the confirmation that our HR efforts are in tune with the times," says diva-e CEO Tilman Au. "Especially in the digital industry, where the market for specialized professionals is highly competitive, employers have to invest a lot. Even now, when large employers such as Salesforce or Adobe are making many redundancies, the competition for experienced specialists is still going on." diva-e has also been offering the option of a 4-day week every two weeks since this year. The company also offers other flexible working hours and work location arrangements and gives employees the choice between a salary increase and an increase in vacation days, for example.
Team workations, where several colleagues combine work and vacation time together in attractive vacation regions in Germany and abroad, are particularly well received at diva-e. For this, diva-e provides accommodation in the form of vacation homes as well as the conditions for mobile working. "We can clearly see that working together with a vacation feeling contributes significantly to team building, that employees are more motivated, relaxed and productive and that we also score points in recruiting," says Au. This also applies to the so-called private workations, where employees are allowed to work in the European Economic Area for up to 90 days per calendar year.
"With our HR policy, we create an inspiring working atmosphere in which our employees can develop their full potential depending on their stage of life," says Julia Münster, Chief Human Resources Officer at diva-e and responsible for HR and recruiting. "We provide different benefits so that there is something suitable for every employee and every life situation." The success of this approach is confirmed not only by the more than 900 employees at the company's ten locations in the regular employee survey, but also by numerous other awards such as "Great place to work" and "Best employer".
The German Stevie Awards are a top-class business prize for companies and individuals operating in the German-speaking European market. They are awarded annually in over 200 different categories. The winners are selected by a jury of business representatives.
