In the \u201eBest Employers 2026\u201c study, published by the market research institute SWI in collaboration with the *Handelsblatt*, ZAG scored particularly highly in the areas of working environment, leadership and corporate culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the company, which operates nationwide and is headquartered in Hanover, the award is a significant mark of recognition and confirmation of its commitment to creating an attractive and reliable working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1358\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-1358x765.jpeg\" alt=\"ZAG named Best Employer 2026 \u2013 Award presented by Handelsblatt in an office setting, with clear typography.\" class=\"wp-image-5878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-1358x765.jpeg 1358w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-662x373.jpeg 662w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-300x168.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-767x432.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026-18x10.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/www.zag.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Handelsblatt-Arbeitgeber-Siegel-2026.jpg 1671w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1358px) 100vw, 1358px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image generated with the aid of AI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handelsblatt \u201eBest Employers 2026\u201c: ZAG impresses in two categories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results were published in the *Handelsblatt* on 28 October 2026. More than 1,500 companies took part in the study on which the findings are based. The study examined various aspects of employer attractiveness, including working conditions, career development, family-friendly policies and corporate culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the size category <strong>\u201eMore than 1,000 employees\u201c<\/strong> ZAG Zeitarbeits-Gesellschaft GmbH received awards in two categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Working environment: 83.6 out of 100 points<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leadership and corporate culture: 80.0 out of 100 points<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be awarded a prize, companies had to score at least 70 out of a possible 100 points in their respective category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With both results, ZAG is well above this award threshold and is therefore one of the award-winning companies in the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A good working environment is the foundation of successful collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An attractive employer is defined by more than just providing a job. The working conditions under which people work every day, and the way in which companies treat their staff, are also crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <strong>83.6 points in the \u2018Working Environment\u2019 category<\/strong> ZAG has achieved a positive result, which underlines the importance of good working conditions for an employer\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The working environment plays a particularly important role in the temporary work and recruitment sectors. Employees, client companies and internal teams work closely together. Reliability, communication and professional support are key prerequisites for successful collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For ZAG, this award is therefore also an incentive to continuously improve the quality of the working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leadership and Corporate Culture: Trust as the Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as working conditions, leadership and corporate culture play a crucial role in the choice of an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this category, ZAG achieves <strong>80.0 out of a possible 100 points<\/strong> and has therefore also been recognised as one of the best employers of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A positive corporate culture thrives on mutual respect, open communication and treating one another with responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particularly in the recruitment sector, where people with different qualifications, professional experience and perspectives come together, appreciative leadership forms an important foundation for long-term collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award highlights the importance of this issue for ZAG and the company\u2019s future development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZAG as an employer: putting people and career prospects first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a recruitment agency, ZAG connects people with companies and helps them to explore career opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expectations placed on modern employers are changing. As well as job responsibilities, candidates are increasingly looking for a positive corporate culture, reliability, opportunities for personal development and a positive working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award from the *Handelsblatt* provides those interested with an additional point of reference when looking for an employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It shows that ZAG has successfully met the study\u2019s criteria in two key areas of employer attractiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does this award mean for applicants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone looking into ZAG as an employer wants to know what career opportunities the company offers and what values characterise working there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings of the Handelsblatt study provide two important insights in this regard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An excellent working environment:<\/strong> With a score of 83.6 points, ZAG has achieved an impressive result in a key category relating to employer attractiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An excellent leadership and corporate culture:<\/strong> With a score of 80.0 points, ZAG has once again met the criteria for the award in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of the study therefore provide an additional source of information for people who would like to find out more about ZAG as a potential employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An award as an incentive for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being included in the *Handelsblatt*\u201es \u201cBest Employers 2026\u2019 list is a particular achievement for ZAG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, we see this award as a commitment to continue working towards a positive working environment and a culture of mutual respect within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, being a good employer is not a one-off goal, but an ongoing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>We are delighted to receive this recognition and would like to thank all our staff, whose dedication and teamwork shape ZAG on a daily basis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discover career opportunities at ZAG now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re starting out in your career, looking for a change of direction or taking the next step in your career: ZAG offers those interested the opportunity to find out about various career prospects in the recruitment sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discover our current job vacancies and find out why ZAG is an excellent employer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Handelsblatt, \u201eBest Employers Ranking\u201c special supplement, 28 October 2026 issue, No. 208, page 35.
