Uniper - TOP Employer Germany
The renowned Top Employers Institute has been evaluating companies based on their employer qualities for more than 30 years. The award is a true mark of quality, as each company must prove the maturity of its human resources work in a complex certification process lasting several months.
The certification focuses on six overarching dimensions: “Steer”, “Shape”, “Attract”, “Develop”, “Engage” and “Unite”. These include a total of 20 HR areas that are examined, such as HR strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, training, well-being and diversity & inclusion. This year, more than 2,400 companies in 125 countries and regions on five continents were awarded the Top Employer seal.
Uniper is receiving this award for the first time and achieved an outstanding score of 89.55%, which is 11.82% above the benchmark of energy companies in Germany.
Uniper is Pride Champion
We are proud to have received the Pride Champion Seal in Gold as part of the UHLALA Pride Audit. It is awarded to companies that actively promote the interest of LGBTIQ+ employees and the topic of diversity.
At Uniper, we have a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and undermine this by numerous activities. Our DEI communities, e.g. the Pride community, are an important part of our engagement. We offer DEI trainings for all employees and leaders, foster inclusive HR processes, and constantly improve the accessibility of our physical and digital workplaces.
Fair Compensation
A gender-equal workplace is the basis for employees being able to develop without experiencing discrimination or other disadvantages due to their gender or other characteristics. We take action at various points to promote diversity, ensure fairness and promote inclusion. This ranges from the recruitment process and the opportunities for flexible working as part of FlexWork to parental leave and job sharing, supported by a wide range of support offers and training opportunities.
Equal pay for women and men is also an important aspect by which we are measured. In Germany, we received the "Fair Compensation" certification last year. In 2023, an independent body, Dr. Vogt Consulting GmbH, in collaboration with the Association of Compensation and Benefits Experts (acbe), carried out an analysis of pay equity between women and men based on the salary data of all employees with an employment contract in Germany. The analysis was carried out in accordance with a recognized certification procedure, in which both qualification-related and job-related characteristics of remuneration were taken into account. As a result, the adjusted salary difference for Uniper in Germany was well below the relevant tolerance threshold of 5%. The "Fair Compensation" certificate awarded to Uniper is valid for three years. There will be a further audit in 2025 to maintain the certificate.
The "Fair Compensation" certificate encourages us to continue our activities with regard to fair pay in order to counteract the wage gap.
