Security at work is not a benefit, but a basis, claims the well-known chain

Are you looking for a job you can really count on? At a time when certainty is increasingly rare, Kaufland offers conditions that make sense. It employs more than 8,200 people throughout Slovakia and knows very well that values ​​such as fairness, reliability and stability do not lose their importance even after years, on the contrary. And it starts with the paycheck. Every minute worked is paid and the attractive salary, which is never late, is regularly reviewed by the chain. Paying the mortgage, leasing or children’s rings is a little easier.

This is also confirmed by Ľubomír Tulinský, head of the checkout department in the Košice store. “I have worked in several companies, so I know that getting paid every month is not a matter of course. At Kaufland, they are always on time and one can rely on that, which is a great security in today’s commitments. At the same time, I perceive that the salary conditions are set fairly considering the difficulty of the work. This combination of stability and good remuneration is, in my opinion, a great benefit,” he explains.

You knew that, right?

The chain has already raised salaries six times in the past five years, and the starting salary of an operations worker has increased by an average of 45 percent during this period. Thanks to this, it is among the best paying employers in Slovakia. In addition, this year it is investing almost 17 million euros more in personnel costs than last year, because employee satisfaction remains a priority even at a time when many companies are saving money.

Receptionist Klára Chodaková, who has been working at Kaufland for 13 years, knows what it’s like when an employer stands up for you even in the most difficult moments. When she was diagnosed with a serious illness a few years ago, she felt fully supported.

“They were regularly interested in how I was doing and how the treatment was going. When I wanted to return to work, they offered me the opportunity to adjust my working hours so that it was not too much for me. At the same time, they also helped me through a philanthropic program, thanks to which I got a month-long stay at the spa, which helped me a lot. In such moments, a person realizes that the employer really thinks of him,” he adds.

Mental well-being is not forgotten under the red roof

If your position allows it, you can count on five days off in addition to the statutory holiday, flexible working hours, part-time work or from home, or a sabbatical to recharge your batteries.
