Projektron once again recognized as an “Unternehmen mit Zukunft”

The study examines how companies are creating future-ready workplaces in response to digitalization, the shortage of skilled workers, and changing economic conditions. Together with experts from the employer branding agency Embrace, stern surveyed 100 employers from different industries and company sizes about working conditions, leadership structures, and digitalization.

Projektron scores highly for organization and digitalization

The assessment covers five equally weighted categories:

Mobile Work: 4 points

Working Time Arrangements: 4 points

Structural Organization: 5 points

Empowerment: 4 points

Digitalization & Innovation: 5 points

Projektron therefore achieved an overall rating of four stars. The top scores for Structural Organization and Digitalization & Innovation in particular reflect the company’s focus on combining modern working conditions with clear organizational structures and a strong digital orientation.

The study

The study was developed by the stern editorial team in cooperation with an advisory board and specialists from the employer branding agency Embrace. The project was advised by Professor Dr. Jutta Rump, Janina Kugel, and Professor Dr. Bettina Kohlrausch. The focus was on the companies themselves and how they are shaping their working environments for the future.

A total of 100 companies answered around 90 questions online. The evaluation incorporated both factual information and self-assessments submitted by the participating organizations.

The assessment

The study evaluates five areas: Mobile Work, Working Time Arrangements, Structural Organization, Empowerment, and Digitalization & Innovation. All five areas are weighted equally. Each category is scored on a scale from one to five points, with the average determining the overall star rating.

In 2026, stern published the results of 79 companies that achieved an overall rating of four or five stars. The companies are divided into three size categories: up to 500 employees, 500 to 2,500 employees, and more than 2,500 employees. With 132 employees, Projektron is listed in the category for companies with up to 500 employees.

Transparency

According to stern, the publication works exclusively with study partners that have a high level of expertise. The editorial team determines the questionnaire and assessment methodology, while the neutrality of data collection and analysis is ensured.
