‘Great Place to Work’ 2024: We’re a 10/10!

We are delighted to share that Scandit has been certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ for a third consecutive year! And that’s not all — this is our best year yet, with certifications earned in all 10 countries we were eligible for: Switzerland, UK, USA, Spain, France, Germany, Finland, Poland, Italy, and Japan!

86% of Scandits feel this is a great place to work, an increase of 14% compared to the previous year. This means our values (pioneer spirit, dedication, innovation, getting things done, having fun, and team spirit) have contributed to an inclusive, supportive, collaborative, and productive work environment that transcends geographical boundaries — and given this year we welcomed the MarketLab team as part of an asset acquisition, we are especially proud to have received this vote of confidence from Scandits all over the world.

But there is plenty more to unpack behind this stamp of approval. Without further ado, here are the main reasons why we’re a ten out of ten according to our beloved Scandits.

What made Scandit a great place to work in 2024?

Fairness and inclusion

Our commitment to fairness and inclusion remains stronger than ever, as shown by our survey results:

• 98% of Scandits feel people are treated fairly regardless of sexual orientation
• 97% believe people are treated fairly regardless of race
• 96% agree that people are treated fairly across all age groups
• 94% confirm fair treatment regardless of gender

Empowerment and resources

We are highly aware the support of direct managers goes a long way in creating a great workplace, which is why we are thrilled to discover:

• 94% state it’s easy to ask their managers for help
• 93% feel safe discussing a mistake they made with their managers
• 91% feel empowered by their managers to do their best work
• 91% confirm their managers enable them to get things done (i.e., a key Scandit value)

At the same time, we also take pride in providing our team with the proper environment they need to excel:

• 99% of Scandits consider Scandit a physically safe workplace
• 91% agree our facilities contribute to a good working environment
• 89% feel they are given the resources and equipment to do their jobs effectively

Wellbeing, fun, and work-life balance

In an ever-changing work landscape, we continue to prioritize the holistic wellbeing of our team and we’re delighted to see our efforts are paying off:

• 95% of Scandits can take time off when they feel it’s necessary
• 89% confirm people celebrate special events here
• 87% would describe Scandit as a fun place to work (i.e., another key Scandit value)
• 82% feel the company actively encourages them to balance work and personal lives

Our flexible work arrangements — whether office-based, remote, or hybrid — reflect our understanding that one size does not fit all. And no matter where and how we work, we make sure to squeeze in some fun via monthly meals, bi-annual hackathons, holiday gatherings (virtual and in-person alike), MicroAdventure Days, and Global Team Outings.

And speaking of global get-togethers, have you seen just how much fun we’ve had in Croatia earlier in 2024?

That special Scandit formula

Dedication, getting things done, and team spirit are three of our values that, when combined, lead to pure magic — and that’s mostly thanks to our amazing Scandits. Highly effective collaboration permeates everything we do and the bonds we build along the way are unmatched precisely because:

• 94% believe people care about each other here
• 89% agree you can count on people to cooperate
• 84% report a strong team spirit
• 84% also say people are willing to give extra to get the job done

So huge thanks are in order to every single person at Scandit — you are the greatest part of our journey to greatness!

From great to greater

While we celebrate 2024’s incredible ‘Great Place to Work’ certification, we also recognize that being a great workplace is a continuous effort. We’ve grown a lot since 2023, but there is plenty we can still improve based on feedback from our Scandits.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to further investing in employee development and management training, enhancing our workplace experience, emphasizing wellbeing, and nurturing an innovative and inclusive environment, among many others.
