Magyar Suzuki has been awarded the Family Friendly Workplace award
For Magyar Suzuki, its employees are its most important asset, which is why the range of benefits it offers to its employees is expanding every year to make them feel and strengthen their appreciation. One important feedback from this is that Magyar Suzuki has also been awarded the Family Friendly Workplace certification mark. The certification awarded by the Family Friendly Hungary Center is given to workplaces that help and support their employees' roles within the family.
The awarding of the certification mark is preceded by a rigorous audit, during which the Family Friendly Hungary Center examines the services and fringe benefits that employers provide to their employees. They check whether recreational opportunities are available, how much attention is paid to community protection, to health and training of employees, and what opportunities are available to support employees' families (e.g., kindergarten, or even children's camps) or health screening programs.
Among other things, Magyar Suzuki supports part-time employment for women with children under 3 years of age, and 50 places are provided in the Angyalkert kindergarten for Suzuki children during the day, in line with the two-shift working schedule from 5 am to 5 pm. The annual comprehensive health check-up is becoming increasingly popular, all staff are entitled to a free hot meal once a day, and free buses and bicycles are provided to help them get to work. Not only Suzuki worker hostel, but also more housing can be applied for 1+1 years at a reduced rate for families in need. Through the Suzuki App mobile application, an internal communication channel launched last year, active employees and employees with children can stay up to date with the latest company news.
In recent years, the Esztergom-based manufacturing company has not only increased wages, but also the range of other subsidies. Employees receive support for childbirth, marriage and funerals, and can buy Suzuki models and spare parts at lower prices from partners in the discount network, together with their immediate families. Holidays falling on weekends are compensated with time off for colleagues who work a fixed schedule.
"We are very proud that Magyar Suzuki Corporation, which is more than 30 years old, can also join the list of companies with the Family Friendly Workplace certification mark. Our colleagues really are our most important asset. We currently provide a stable, safe and reliable workplace for more than 3,000 employees, and indirectly we ensure the livelihood of more than 10,000 families. With this in mind, thanks to many years of thoughtful work, we have grown into a caring company that is a supportive partner to its employees and strives to build a solid community in every situation," said Dr. Zoltán Varga, the Head of HR, General Affairs & Legal Compliance at Magyar Suzuki Corporation.
