No, Anton Debatin GmbH is not an outlier – we are repeat offenders! Since our first award as a Leading Employer, we have received it again and again. At first (in 2022), we were surprised to rank among the top 1% of the best employers in the country. All the more, we are delighted to have received this recognition once again!

Contenders for the LEADING EMPLOYERS 2025 award were ranked by a meta-analysis that assessed employer qualities in more than 400,000 companies. Once again, DEBATIN numbered amongst the cream of the crop. In the printing and packaging industry, for example, we’re one of the TOP 5 companies.

The independent and neutral LEADING EMPLOYERS meta-analysis organised by the Institute of Research & Data Aggregation was first conducted in 2017. It takes a holistic approach – researching, verifying and assessing various areas that make a difference to the lives of employees, including aspects such as appreciation and respect, the working environment and working conditions. As a result, the picture that thus emerges is realistic and differentiated, and the detailed assessment can help people find good, responsible employers in their chosen field of work.

Our employees are satisfied – and happy to speak out!

Just like the year before, DEBATIN achieved an above-average score for employee satisfaction. Employees appreciate DEBATIN as an employer and were full of praise not only for the values our company represents, but also for the working conditions and benefits we offer – healthcare programmes, flexible working hours and pension schemes, to name but a few. What’s more, they’re happy to voice their approval! As the new rating once again shows, these are just some of the reasons why DEBATIN is so highly recommended as an employer.

A very big thank you to the entire DEBATEAM! Because it’s all very well to look good on job portals and postings, or score high marks in the analysis – but it’s your personal experiences and recommendations that really make the difference for us (and for potential applicants, of course!). They are what show how special DEBATIN is as a company and employer.

Recognition for DEBATIN’s flexible, family-friendly HR policies

We’re truly delighted to have won this award, because it pays tribute to our efforts in this field.” It’s a good opportunity for those involved to look back proudly on all we’ve achieved and how far we’ve come, while spurring us on to continue along our chosen course.
