Following last year’s success, Yettel has again been named one of Hungary’s best employers in 2025, according to an audit conducted by the Top Employers Institute, a global institution that certifies excellence in employer practices worldwide. Its program enables companies to assess and improve their workplace environment in a wide range of areas. It helps spread best practices, and supports successful applicants to become certified, qualified and recognised employers. In addition to Yettel Hungary, the group’s Bulgarian business unit also won the award. A total of 20 companies from Hungary made the list this year.
“We are very proud to have won the Best Employer award again this year as it confirms that we are on the right track to becoming an inspiring workplace across generations and that what we do for our colleagues has an internationally recognised, real impact,” said Enikő Szalai, Chief HR Officer of Yettel. “We are committed to maintaining our best practices in the long run, and to taking into account the new needs of the younger generation and aligning them within the company,” she added.
In 2025, the company plans to focus on additional areas for improvement, in particular further fine-tuning the organisational culture, building the employer brand and strengthening the selection process.
Yettel is particularly proud of the excellent benefits package offered to its colleagues and the responsible support and monitoring of the employee lifecycle. Successful programs include the paternity leave scheme which allows employees whose partners are on maternity leave to take an additional 4 weeks’ paid leave on top of the statutory 5 days and the grandparental leave scheme which gives 5 days’ paid leave to employees with a new grandchild. The company provides life, sickness and accident insurance and private medical care for all employees, and for many years has had a well-established program offering free professional advice on legal, financial, health and lifestyle issues, as well as psychological and personal problems. Since the COVID pandemic, the Solidarity Fund has been set up and managed by the company to help colleagues who find themselves in unexpected and difficult financial situations.
