The Reliable Employer title has been awarded by the DUIHK since 2017 to member companies that are exemplary and reliable in looking after their employees’ working and living conditions, and that meet the criteria developed by a professional jury.

The aim of the initiative is to encourage employers to create employee-friendly workplaces and, at the same time, to strengthen the labour market position of recognised companies in terms of employee retention and recruitment – supporting their employer branding efforts. Applicants are required to provide a detailed report on their HR management practices and the underlying principles. This year’s call for applications included new focus areas such as wage transparency, internal diversity and the integration of diverse employees, the “Whistleblower Protection Act”, and ESG.

The winners were announced at the DUIHK Member’s Meeting on 22 May. Among them, WTS Klient Hungary is now entitled to hold the Reliable Employer 2025–2027 title for three years, after which companies must requalify to retain the award. The recognition was accepted on behalf of WTS Klient Hungary by Gabriella Drávai, HR Director, from András Sávos, President of the DUIHK, and Dr. Ágnes Vörös, Managing Director of BASF Hungária Kft. and Chair of the Jury.

“Caring for our employees and creating a secure and lovable workplace has always been important at WTS Klient Hungary,” said Gabriella Drávai, accepting the award. “We are especially proud of this recognition because, after last year’s acquisitions, it was a much greater challenge to gain the trust and satisfaction of nearly 370 expert colleagues. It is important for us to support our team not only with modern tools and a knowledge base, but also with a wide range of well-being services – so they can work in a great atmosphere, with dedication and commitment. After all, it’s our colleagues whom not only our clients, but we ourselves can rely on,” she added.

WTS Klient Hungary has now received the Reliable Employer title for the third time, having previously been honoured in 2018–2019 and 2020–2021.

Given the state of emergency declared on 11 March 2020 in Hungary, this year the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce announced the companies winning the Reliable Employer title at an online Member’s Meeting. The title is awarded by the jury to companies that are exemplary in looking after their employees’ working and living conditions., i.e. those which comply with the conditions set forth by a professional committee for working and social conditions.

Applicants for the title must detail their corporate practices and the underlying guidelines in seven areas: remuneration, social and welfare benefits, health and working conditions, training and further education, and development opportunities. Tamás Steványik, spokesperson of the jury and HR director of ELMŰ-Émász Nyrt., stressed at the Members’ Meeting that receiving this title requires continuous care and attention from companies since the honour is only valid for two years, and companies need to prove themselves again thereafter. The list of this years’ awardees comprised several companies – including WTS Klient Hungary – who successfully applied for the title for a second time.

Members of the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce with registered offices in Hungary have been able to apply for the title of “Reliable Employer” on a continuous basis since 2017.
