Sirona Group receives another Top Employer Award

In a multi-phase analysis and auditing process, the Top Employer Institute (formerly CRF Institute) designates outstanding employers around the world every year. Some of the key criteria include excellent working conditions, promoting talent, and continuous development of human resource management. Sirona China was given the highest award "Top Employer China 2014" along with 40 other employers. Michael Elling, Vice President Corporate Human Resources of the Sirona Group, expressed his satisfaction: "Our employees are the heart of our company. The Top Employer Award for Sirona China is an acknowledgment of our local and global efforts to support our employees. It is part of our global growth strategy, it increases our attractiveness as employers, and it motivates our employees to work at Sirona in Germany and abroad."

Growth and development at Sirona China

In 2006, Sirona began to develop the business in China with just 30 employees. Today, eight years later, there are more than 150 employees here – a success story, also with respect to personnel development. "Employee satisfaction is the basis of our success at Sirona China. This is why we find it important to have an excellent team, promote team spirit, and motivate continuing development among our employees. It is rewarding to see how many employees successfully climb the career ladder," explains Henning Müller, Vice President China and South East Asia. A strong growth that is reflected in the market, Sirona China is the number one company for dental treatment chairs. Digital dentistry and CAD/CAM products have also made significant gains in the past two years.

Employee success stories

Sirona offers many opportunities and promotes young talent among students as well. For example, the German student Verena Schütter spent four months at Sirona in Asia during her International Business studies at Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University. There she became familiar with the international company and the Shanghai location, and she helped develop the Singapore location that was opened in November 2013. A career opportunity open to all employees at Sirona fostered by the Talent Excellence Program encompasses individual advanced training, project assignments across positions and locations, and targeted international postings and career advancement in one of its worldwide subsidiaries.
