The German site of the OPHARDT Hygiene was certified as a “family-friendly company (DIQP)” with the highest possible rating of “very good” as part of the certification process.
The award of the employer seal as a “Family-friendly company (DIQP)” followed a thorough assessment, which included a representative and anonymous employee survey and an interview with the HR department. The focus was on the family-friendliness of the company. All employees were able to take part in the survey and rate their employer. There was also the opportunity to make suggestions for improvement.
OPHARDT HYGIENE-TECHNIK GmbH received this award due to its communicated and practiced efforts to support the compatibility of family and career for its employees.
The German Institute for Quality Standards and Testing (DIQP) is the developer of this employer label and a registered association that has developed various standards for quality awards. SQC-QualityCert carries out certifications in accordance with the DIQP standards. In contrast to other awards for employers, an individual results page is created after a successful DIQP certification. The result is displayed there and the award conditions are also linked from there. In this way, the background to DIQP certification for family-friendly companies can be read transparently.
The Managing Director of SQC-QualityCert expressed his congratulations on the top score and the award: “The evaluation of the representative employee survey and the interview with the HR managers led to the excellent rating and well-deserved award. We congratulate the entire team on their excellent rating as a family-friendly company.”
