Schneider Electric ranks in LinkedIn's 'most attractive'

Schneider Electric has been listed in LinkedIn Top Attractors, a global ranking of the 40 companies that attract most interest on the business-oriented social network.

LinkedIn’s Top Attractors list is the first ranking of its kind to be based entirely on LinkedIn user actions and the methodology for compiling the list leveraged actions including job applications, engagement and new hire staying power. The LinkedIn insights and global editorial teams analysed billions of actions taken by its 433+ million members to come up with a blended score that was used to rank the winners, placing Schneider Electric 30th among the 40 most attractive companies globally.

The company said that the result acknowledges the attractiveness of the Schneider Electric employer brand among professionals and strongly believes that great people make a great company. The Group and its employees strive to be straightforward, to challenge themselves and be open, passionate and effective in whatever they do.

Commenting on Schneider Electric’s ranking, LinkedIn said: “Schneider Electric insists on getting close to its users. The embedding culture extends to learning: Schneider Electric runs its own school where engineers are trained on the new systems it’s inventing. The company prefers to promote its own rather than recruiting stars, though employees at acquired companies find the path to big responsibility happens quickly.

“To be considered an employer of choice by LinkedIn’s members is an important part of being an attractive employer.”

The company puts the attractiveness down to creating the right environment for employees via working on three major objectives:

• Develop accessible leaders who decide quickly and are exemplary in building teams, collaboration and business.
• Engage people who are moved by a common culture and purpose;.
• Enable superior teamwork with the right balance of freedom, process and speed to move from innovation to execution.
