Amway Russia has been recognized as the best employer of Russia in 2008. The award "Best Employers of Russia" was introduced for the first time this year, based on the results of the 5th annual Moscow recruitment market research, under support of "Personnel Management" magazine. Over 1200 leading Moscow companies - market leaders - took part in the research to help assess recruitment agencies. Recruitment agencies in turn evaluated the working practices of employers and nominated several "best companies". The stability and predictability of a company’s social policy, compliance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which is especially important for a socially responsible company, keeping moral and ethical standards, competitive wages, and more were major criteria for nomination.
"What makes our company especially appealing for candidatures? I think that, first of all, it is the opportunities, that we provide for personal and professional growth of our employees" - said Marina Rudkovskaya, Head of the HR Department of OOO Amway.
"The Company has been dynamically growing on the Russian market, we have new positions, new lines of activity, new projects, responsibilities of already existing positions are also changing. For a relatively short period of Amway operation in Russia, a lot of our employees have been promoted to leading specialists or heads of groups and even departments. Our Company has young, talented, enthusiastic specialists, for whom we organize various corporate events – from various trainings to Football Championships among 27 Amway European affiliates, Family Day for all employees and their families and many other events", - Marina added.
