The exclusive “World’s Best Employers” list is based on surveys with more than 300,000 employees working for multinational companies and institutions in over 50 countries.
The ranking confirms that Skanska provides a dynamic workplace where people can learn, develop and make a difference, says Anders Danielsson, Group CEO and President of Skanska.
“It reflects the work we have been doing to attract and retain the best people and teams in the industry,” Anders says. “From talking with colleagues around the Skanska world, I have seen that what we do has a direct impact on the well-being of our teammates and on our business performance.”
Those interviewed were asked whether they would recommend their company to family or friends, and to rate their employer based on criteria such as work-life balance, career advancement opportunities and employee diversity.
The ranking is also recognition of Skanska’s culture and values, says Therese Tegner, Executive Vice President for Human Resources at Skanska Group. “It also reflects the work done on developing our Employee Value Proposition, as part of our culture of continuous improvement,” she says.
The results are confirmed by Skanska’s annual employee survey. “The pride that our people have in working here shines through in our survey, with 85 percent saying they are proud to work here,” Therese says.
“Our people, working in exceptional teams that deliver outstanding performance, are a business advantage for us at Skanska and for our customers.”
Skanska UK President & CEO Katy Dowding says: “Colleagues often tell me how working at Skanska is different to other places. There’s a lot that contributes to that – being able to perform at your best because you can truly be yourself, having a good work-life balance, knowing you’re going to be supported when you’re facing personal challenges, being empowered to speak up and make change happen when its needed – and of course – have a successful career making a long-lasting difference to society through our projects.”
The survey was conducted by market research company Statista. The methodology and focus of the review are described here: The World's Best Employers 2024 (forbes.com)
