Hilti Group Response
8yHilti is an open, honest and transparent company – and as such we welcome feedback to improve our organisation and offer the best possible working environment for all employees, so thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Glassdoor.
We’re disappointed to see your comments above and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further.
We offer a flexible work environment and as such offer many benefits to ensure a strong work life balance. We’re troubled to see that you mention you were forced to work past your normal working hours – as this is not the culture we’ve worked very hard to develop. If you wouldn’t mind leaving us your contact details by emailing the contact details at the bottom of this response we’d really like the opportunity to look into this on your behalf – as this falls below the very high standards we expect. Sometimes when we work to outperform, responsibilities require a flexible approach to working beyond the stipulated hours as necessary – however, this is not the norm and our team leaders as well as team members are mature enough to understand this.
We invest huge resources into the hiring, onboarding and training of new staff members and therefore making new joiners leave early is counterproductive to our business and not the culture we promote. Our new hires undergo a rigorous orientation and integration which lasts upto 6 months. We would like to point out that, therefore, new hires do get engaged early and do not like to leave Hilti as demonstrated by our high engagement scores, very low attrition (14%) and very high integration success rate (88%).
We’re proud that Hilti India amongst many of our other markets was awarded a Great Place to Work award for 2017 – this award is voted for anonymously by our work force and therefore does not reflect the environment you describe in your review, however if you would like to talk to us about this further and raise any concerns you had during your time at Hilti please email HRIndia@hilti.com and a member of our team will be in touch as soon as possible
