Fresenius Kabi, a global healthcare company within the Fresenius Group that develops products, technologies, and services for the therapy and care of critically and chronically ill patients, has once again been granted the Employer Partner certificate in Croatia. This recognition reflects the company’s systematic development of HR practices and its strategic approach to human resource management.
Over the past two decades, the Employer Partner certificate has shaped the way organizations approach human resource management. Through clearly defined criteria, it has encouraged the development of strategic HR, the introduction of measurable indicators, and the use of data in decision-making. As a result, in many organizations HR has grown beyond its traditional administrative role and become a key partner in achieving business objectives.
Strengthening the employee experience through support and an inclusive culture
Fresenius Kabi Croatia has again achieved significant progress in the development of its HR practices, with clear advances across several key areas. The career website has been enriched with relevant content and employee experiences. Structured welcome interviews have been introduced for all new employees, while the employee referral program has been further strengthened to encourage participation and recognize employee contributions.
In the area of rewards and employee well-being, the company offers a wide range of benefits and regularly implements wellbeing initiatives, including health programs and counseling services. Flexible working arrangements support a better work-life balance. At the same time, an inclusive organizational culture is further developed through initiatives focused on diversity and equal rights for all employees.
This certificate is not just a recognition, but a confirmation that we are building an environment in which people feel seen, valued, and included. Our focus remains on developing talented teams, open dialogue, and creating a culture in which every employee has the opportunity to grow and contribute. We are proud of what we have achieved, but even more proud of the journey we are building together, said Vlatka Krepelnik, Head of Human Resources for Eastern Europe.
We congratulate Fresenius Kabi on receiving another certificate, which recognizes their commitment to excellence in human resource management. We would particularly like to highlight the company’s strong focus on building a feedback culture, based on encouraging open, timely, and constructive exchange of feedback. Through its HR practices, the company demonstrates how continuous employee development, transparent communication, and mutual trust contribute to business strategy and the achievement of organizational goals, said Lara Šubić Šuša, Head of HR Consulting at SELECTIO Group.
Investment in development and transparency
In addition to being granted another Employer Partner certificate, Fresenius Kabi Croatia is also a proud holder of the Equal Pay Champion certificate, which is based on the principle of “equal pay for equal work” and promotes transparent and fair compensation systems.
Alongside strengthening talent attraction processes, the organization has made important progress in employee development. The onboarding process has been further structured, while mentoring and coaching programs have been expanded to support employees’ professional growth. Special attention is given to strengthening a culture of feedback and transparent communication, with continuous support provided to managers in team leadership.
This result shows how important it is to align culture, communication, and strategic goals. We are proud of the progress we have achieved together, said Marko Ostojić, Head of Digital and Communications for Eastern Europe.
With this achievement, Fresenius Kabi Croatia once again confirms its commitment to creating a supportive and sustainable work environment that fosters employee growth and the long-term success of the organization.
