Lidl Croatia has successfully passed a comprehensive HR system evaluation conducted by SELECTIO experts, once again meeting the standards for the prestigious Employer Partner Certificate.
“We are proud to have held the Employer Partner Certificate for 15 years. It confirms that we’re on the right track and motivates us to keep creating opportunities for our employees’ growth and development, while building an environment where everyone can reach their full potential,” said Lilijana Remich, Board Member for Human Resources at Lidl Croatia.
Structured Development and Focus on Soft Skills
Employee development at Lidl Croatia begins from day one. Every new hire goes through a structured onboarding process designed to ease adaptation, provide clear expectations, and ensure a confident start without unnecessary pressure. Candidate and employee experience is a key priority, with regular feedback collected through surveys. Both candidates and hiring managers are surveyed, and insights are used to enhance processes. This approach continuously improves the recruitment experience and strengthens teams’ ability to attract and retain talent.
Lidl invests in employee development at all levels. In the past year, numerous training sessions have been conducted, with a strong focus on strengthening soft skills among mentors and managers. This enables teams to provide better support and recognize individual development needs. Effective team leadership doesn’t happen by chance—it requires dedicated investment in communication, feedback, and trust-building skills. Lidl cultivates these competencies as essential pillars of strong team management.
Meaningful Benefits and Organisational Support
Lidl’s employee benefits are tailored to concrete needs and current labor market trends. These are not simply add-ons but a key part of a broader strategy of employee care. The benefits strengthen a sense of belonging and encourage long-term loyalty. This approach also reflects the company’s broader organizational culture, where employees feel seen, valued, and supported in their professional growth and day-to-day work. As a result, motivation increases, laying the foundation for a healthy and stable work environment.
Lidl Croatia is a prime example of an organization that understands the importance of a high-quality approach to human resource management. Through years of consistent effort, the company has built a strong HR structure that supports all business levels. The Employer Partner Certificate is not just a recognition – it is proof that every business success is built on a foundation of dedicated support for employees.
