At Griesson – de Beukelaer, employees are always the focus of our operations. This is also reflected by various awards: hence, the German Federal Employment Agency awarded Griesson – de Beukelaer a certificate for junior staff development. Over a numer of years the Chambers of Commerce and Industry have given awards to Griesson – de Beukelaer for outstanding training and exemplary junior staff development.

Among others, our employees have received the following renowned accolades:

• The “Sweets Global Talents Award 2009“ from Hans Riegel-Stiftung (publishers): Petra Wiegard, food law and customer service manager

• The ”Golden Sugar Loaf 2006“ from Lebensmittelzeitung: Marco Geimer, former trainee and current production manager at the Ravensburg site

• Best in IHK Koblenz testing: Philipp Domes, machine and plant operator

The following aspect is just as important: we do not underpay our trainees and graduates. For this reason, we were awarded the renowned Fair Company certificate in 2006 by the jobs and business magazine “Karriere”. A respectful and responsible approach to trainees and students who are about to graduate is a matter of course for us.

This means that we... 
...do not replace full-time positions with trainees, 
...do not fob off graduates who have applied for permanent positions by offering them a work placement,   
...do not lure trainees with the vague prospect of a subsequent full-time position,  
...primarily offer work placements related to the trainee’s professional orientation during the training phase, 
...pay trainees adequate expenses.
