Effectively utilizing feedback from employees worldwide

The current survey achieved a historic high: 84% of the approximately 6,500 employees worldwide participated – two percentage points more than in 2023 – and provided valuable feedback on strengths, potential, and joint further development. In addition, employee engagement rose by 5 percentage points to 89% in 2025 and employee satisfaction with working conditions increased by 7 percentage points to 85%. HOERBIGER has thus once again improved both key figures and is above the values of comparable companies across organizations and hierarchies. 

The global focus topics defined in the last survey, based on employee feedback, all showed significant improvements. To ensure that this positive development continues, three of the topics will remain global focus topics: strategy communication, internal development, and feedback. At the local and team level, the results are also reviewed, dialogues are held, and relevant measures are derived. “Voice for Excellence is a central starting point for us for genuine dialogue and sustainable further development,” says Aladin Huwyler, Head of People & Culture at HOERBIGER. “The exceptionally high participation in 2025 shows that our employees want to take responsibility and actively shape the future. This feedback helps us to build on our strengths in a targeted manner and at the same time work courageously on improvements.”
