Mazet has received the Top Job seal of approval for its efforts in human resource management. The seal is an award within the scope of the German Federal comparative study of the same name. As part of the study, Prof Dr Axel G Schmidt from the Institute for Small and Medium-Sized Business-related Economics (Inmit) in Trier examined the quality of small-scale personnel work.

57 companies, including Mazet, currently hold the Top Job seal of approval for 2005.

Mentor Wolfgang Clement presented the prestigious award on the evening of Friday 27th January in Schindlerhof, Nuremberg.

The companies had to prove themselves in five disciplines: vision and leadership, personal development, reward concepts, culture and communication and family and social orientation.

'These top employers demonstrate noteworthy corporate vision'.

'Ultimately they are currently looking after qualified and highly motivated employees', said Clement, emphasising that the deciding factor for playing in the business league is that of demographical development and the international market, even in Germany.

Mazet has already received several awards for its family-friendly working atmosphere.

The management of the suppliers of electronic design and manufacturing services attach great importance to the fact that employees are able to arrange their families and careers together.

Therefore, it supports the employees by offering flexible working hours and financial benefits such as a nursery school allowance and payments when a child is born.

Training is offered in communication in order that they always strike the right note with each other.

Alongside the standard specialist training, these 'soft' factors ensure that the employees feel good working for the Jena-based electronics and software specialist.

The aim of the project is to raise the profile of small and medium-sized businesses on the job market.

In order to do this, Prof Schmidt used standardised procedures to identify owners of small and medium-sized businesses who qualitatively exhibit high-quality human resources.

The benchmarking allows the participants to measure themselves against other employers and to improve as a result of this comparison.

125 out of the approximately 500 who were interested participated in the challenge - in the end, 57 of them passed the quality inspection.
