DEAR EUROPEAN BEST COMPANIES TO WORK FOR 2009,

I want to thank you in the name of the Austrian Great Place to Work Institute for this wonderful evening. It was a pleasure for us to welcome you in the Austrian Great Place to Work Village – Baden bei Wien. Yesterday’s Award Ceremony will stay in our memories for a long time for we so far have never seen a similar extent of pure emotion and happiness. You have been an exceptional audience and we thank you for sharing these moments with us. We hope to see you again sometimes soon,

Matthias Wolf - Great Place to Work Institute
