Updated Article:
- Plusnet Got Your Back: Cologne's Telecom Provider With a Modern Approach to Work Culture
Think about a workplace that values your hustle and supports your hype, where you can flex your skills without breaking a sweat, and where your grandma feels just as welcome as a Gen Z-er. Sounds like a pipedream, right? Well, meet Plusnet GmbH, Cologne's telecommunications powerhouse that's defying the odds and setting the bar sky-high in the industry.
Not one, not two, but for the second year running, Plusnet has been crowned a Top Employer 2025 by the esteemed Top Employers Institute. This beacon of excellence in the increasingly dynamic telecom landscape is a subsidiary of EnBW and a force to be reckoned with.
In an era of AI, automation, and digitization, companies are scrambling to keep up and stay relevant. Plusnet is the tech fairy godmother, helping businesses stay ahead of the game by providing them with cutting-edge solutions tailored to their needs. And with its commitment to open network access (Open Access) and energy-efficient fiber optic technology, Plusnet is helping foster a sustainable digital future for Germany.
But employees are the heart of any company, and Plusnet knows that. To retain the best talent and attract the brightest minds, they've designed a workplace that's as sleek as their tech, and as flexible as their services.
Take their state-of-the-art headquarters in Cologne, for instance. Or their unorthodox "workation" policy, which allows employees to groove to the rhythm of their work from a European destination of their choice, for up to five days a week. Thomas Sundermann, Plusnet's Head of HR, captures the essence of their approach, saying, "Our employees work mobile and remotely - if they wish, up to five days a week - and get room for things that are sometimes more important than work. That's a clear commitment to our team."
The company's dedication to creating an inclusive and diverse culture doesn't stop at their work policies. Plusnet passed with flying colors in numerous categories when put to the test by the Top Employers Institute. They aced the leadership, work environment, development, and motivation offers, and even nailed the "appreciation culture" category with a cool 83% achievement rate compared to other participating companies.
But the journey never ends, and Plusnet is always on the lookout for ways to improve. Sundermann reflects, "This is a great honor and a good basis for targeted further development in the relevant fields of work. Therefore, we are looking for people who want to help shape the digital future with us. Whether you're a Gen Golf or Gen Z, a Best Ager or a Boomer, a nerd or a suit wearer - everyone finds a place in our diverse team. What unites us is the common vision to be a trailblazer for the digital future in Germany."
The award ceremony will take place in Berlin on February 6, so keep your eyes peeled for Plusnet, the game-changing telecom provider that's got you covered, wherever you roam.
