The award for 'Germany's Best Company for Apprentices' is given according to the official Great Place to Work® certification procedure. It also takes into account feedback from the apprentices themselves (Trainee Survey) and a survey on the company’s training strategy (Culture Review).
More than 50% AGCO/Fendt trainees took part in the external certification process, answering extensive questions about their professional career path and sense of personal appreciation, how respectfully and fairly they have been treated, and the sense of team spirit at the company. The questionnaire also gave them the chance to comment on the strengths of the training and give suggestions for improvement.
