SEAT Receives Top Employer Certification for Second Consecutive Year

  • Only carmaker in Spain with this certification
  • The certification singles out SEAT as one of the country’s best companies to work for
  • Over 900 talented young people joined the company in 2015 through different recruitment programs

SEAT has again been recognised as one of the country’s best companies to work for after receiving the Top Employer 2016 certificate. After being awarded the certificate last year, the company is still the only carmaker in Spain with this seal of excellence.

Following an in-depth research survey, the Top Employers Institute, a company that since 1991 has been globally certifying the best conditions that employers create for their people, concluded that SEAT offers an excellent working environment. The Institute underscored SEAT’s innovative recruitment programmes for young talents as well as the varied development programmes created by the company.

According to Executive Vice-president for Human Resources Xavier Ros, “SEAT aspires to create an excellent environment which is conducive to personal and professional development. Receiving the Top Employer certificate for the second year in a row confirms that we are headed in the right direction and reaffirms our commitment to quality employment”.

What makes SEAT a top employer

SEAT is constantly seeking young talent for the different divisions of the company. This is achieved by conducting a variety of recruitment initiatives that contribute to generating employment, from traineeship programmes, doctoral students and special programmes for young engineers, to dual vocational training. One of the standout programmes is Start-up Europe, which gave nearly 20 young people the opportunity to gain access to their first working experience at SEAT, followed by a temporary international placement period in the different brands of the Volkswagen Group. In the last year, more than 900 young talents joined SEAT through one of many programmes offered by the company.

To foster the employees development, the company features a broad range of training programmes, of which the Top Employers Institute highlighted extensive technical training, leadership and language skills. In addition, SEAT also encourages other initiatives such as international experience and personalised career development programmes. The company invests 14 million euros annually on average in training.

Being an excellent employer also involves several other undertakings, such as engaging the workforce in the company’s CSR policy through solidarity actions or the launch of the innovative mundoSEAT app, an ad hoc application created so that SEAT employees, as well as fans of the brand, can keep up with the latest information on the company from their mobiles. In addition, a very special Family Day was organised in 2015, an open house event at the Martorell facilities where SEAT workers had the opportunity to invite their friends and family members to tour their workplace. During the event, which was highly praised by the Top Employers Institute, several leisure activities were organised to give all participants a better understanding of the brand and the Martorell factory. With this initiative, the company reaffirmed its commitment to its workers and their families.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
