Henkel Receives Employer Partner Certificate for the Third Time

Henkel Croatia has become the holder of the Employer Partner Certificate for the third time, thus confirming the quality of its human resource management.

The certificate was awarded to Blanka Žerjav, Human Resources Director of Henkel for the Adriatic region, by Aleksandar Zemunić, a member of the Management Board of SELECTIO, which grants the certificate.

Since 2010, when Henkel Croatia joined the Employer Partner Certificate project, there has been a continuous growth and development in all segments of human resource management. In the area of Recruitment and Selection, Henkel has demonstrated high-quality practices, starting from the employment plan itself, avoiding any forms of discrimination in the recruitment and selection processes, and generally being open to candidates.

Henkel achieved very good results in the area of Work, Motivation, and Rewarding, primarily due to a well-developed performance evaluation system that allows for feedback to employees, as well as a transparent reward system. In the area of Employee Relations, Henkel has excelled in internal communication, enabling two-way information exchange for all employees.

– Part of our corporate culture is to value and reward our employees and present them with new challenges. Our employees are the most important factor in our success; they give the company its identity, and only by respecting our people can we succeed as a company and achieve a leading position in both brands and technologies – stated Blanka Žerjav, Human Resources Director of Henkel for the Adriatic region.

To meet the standards of the certificate, a company must have at least 75 percent of the total possible points, as well as at least 70 percent of points in each of the 5 evaluated areas: Strategy, Recruitment and Selection, Work, Motivation and Rewarding, Training and Development, and Employee Relations.

The project is supported by the MojPosao portal as the general sponsor and the business weekly Lider as the media sponsor.

Currently, there are 24 companies that have received the certificate in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina: Atlantic Grupa, Belupo Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics, Cemex Croatia, Coca-Cola HBC Croatia, Erste & Steiermarkische Bank, Henkel Croatia, Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development, INA, JGL, JT International Zagreb, JT International representative office in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kozmo, Lidl Croatia, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Microsoft Croatia, Pliva Croatia, Sberbank, SOS Children’s Village Croatia, SOS Children’s Villages Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sandoz, Tele2, Valamar Hotels and Resorts, Vipnet, and Zagrebačka Pivovara.
