Best employee magazine in Europe: Berner Group wins European Excellence Award 2019 in the “Internal Publications” category
Künzelsau/Cologne, December 5, 2019 - On November 29, 2019, the Berner Group employee magazine was awarded the European Excellence Award 2019 in Lisbon. The international prize has been awarded since 2007 for outstanding PR and communications work. In the “Internal Publications” category, the commercial enterprise’s Group-wide magazine, which is distributed in 23 countries, held its own against four other nominees. The jury’s assessment: the magazine’s focus is on the employee. From the first to the last page.
The Berner Group is a family-run commercial enterprise with over 8,200 employees in 23 European countries. Digital networking and a common corporate culture connect the staff and guide them through times of transformation. The award-winning Group-wide magazine for the Berner, BTI, Caramba, ambratec and KENT brands also makes a relevant contribution to this. Page by page, the aim is to provide real insights into the Berner Group’s work, in order to convey values, motivate and promote trust.
Each issue focuses on one employee, after whom the issue is named. For example, Maria, team leader in Denmark, or Florian, sales representative in France. A drawing of the respective employee’s face can be found on the cover of each issue. In addition, each issue has a focus topic – such as digitization, customer centricity or corporate culture. This allows relevant content to be conveyed throughout the Group.
“The Berner Group stands for unconditional customer centricity. This is only possible with a consistent employee focus. The fact that the jury honored this goal in our employee magazine is a great pleasure to all of us and reinforces our understanding of contemporary communication and corporate culture,” says Christian Berner, CEO of the Berner Group.
