Awards for WAGO
Award for Successful Personnel Department
We are not only a family-owned company, we are family-friendly, and we have the awards to prove it. Interns and trainees receive high-quality educations; engineers experience an innovative environment; and all of this pays for itself – because we have been considered one of the best employers in Germany since 2013.
Best Place to Learn
Since 2016, WAGO has been awarded the “Best Place to Learn” quality seal with an “Excellent” rating. In the AUBI-plus GmbH certification process, current and former trainees and trainers are anonymously surveyed on topics such as applicant selection, career-oriented learning, trainer suitability and training results. The quality criteria considered include integration, education planning, feedback, the design of training facilities and workplaces and personal development.
In 2016, WAGO received the label of “Best place to learn” with a designation of “excellent.” Within the scope of certification by AUBI-plus GmbH, current and former trainees and trainers anonymously answered questions about topics such as selection of applicants, career-oriented learning, trainer suitability and training results.

WAGO’s German locations have also been certified by TÜV Rheinland as “Excellent Employers” every year since 2015. In 2017, the company received the additional acclaim of being “Parent Friendly.”
WAGO is numbered among the Fair Companies, which are characterized by not replacing full-time positions with interns, volunteers, trainees, or temporary help. College graduates, who have applied for a permanent position, are not misdirected toward an internship. Interns are not lured with the vague promise of a permanent position sometime in the future. WAGO offers internships primarily for professional orientation during the training phase, and pays an adequate expense allowance.
WAGO is committed to the compatibility of family and career. We have received the designation “Family-Friendly Company” from the “AUSGEZEICHNET FAMILIENFREUNDLICH” Initiative. The title was awarded by a joint initiative in the Minden-Lübbecke district, which included representatives from economics, management, employees, and parent organizations.
WAGO has received the “New Work Employer 2021” seal from New Work SE and the Leipzig Graduate School of Management. This award honors companies that promote individual development, value transparency, recognize achievement and take a participative, flexible approach to organization and leadership.
WAGO’s commitment to equal opportunities for women has favorably impressed the employer study panel of the women’s magazine Brigitte, who have ranked it one of the best employers for women in Germany multiple times. Find more information here.
