Employees say:
"Hilti fosters a unique culture that retains the essence of a family-owned business. Employees often refer to their colleagues as their "Hilti family" and are always willing to support one another. The company's ownership is committed to the long-term success of the business, enabling leaders to make strategic decisions that prioritize longevity, such as retaining employees and exploring alternative methods to maintain financial health during challenging times. There is a strong emphasis on teamwork, creating a sense of belonging for everyone, and engaging with local communities to give back."
Employees say:
"In my experience, Hilti acts on the feedback of their team members. We do a employee survey every year and from those results, an action plan is put in place and over the years I have seen many improvements and changes made. One example is the family leave and how that has increased over the years. Another [unique aspect of Hilti] would be the flexible work arrangements which give me the freedom to be there for my family any time I am needed. As a working mom, I know I am lucky to work for a company that allows me to be there for all the important moments in my children's lives."
Employees say: "I experience a great sense of trust and empowerment as an employee. This workplace is truly exceptional, and I receive substantial support from our leaders and managers."

Lichenstein-based Hilti Group designs and manufactures technologies and services for the construction industry, but it also prides itself on designing and delivering impactful careers for its 18,270 European employees. A strengths-based focus to personal development aims to bring out the full potential of each individual through training, mentoring and exploration of how skills might be leveraged in various roles. Every year the company hosts 2,000 workshops across the world to facilitate knowledge-sharing, brainstorming and team connection. Employee-led groups centered around topics such as gender networks, mental health, LGBTQ+, race and ethnicity, environment and sustainability aim to encourage equity and inclusion, too.
Employees say:
"There are many things that make Hilti stand out as a great place to work. 1) work-life balance. I am able and encouraged to use all of my paid time off and if I just need time to rest or take a break, I am encouraged to do so. 2) A vast majority of the people at Hilti love their jobs and want to be here. They are more than willing to help. 3) There is no one in the entire organization who is superior to another. In less than 10 years in the organization, I have met with most of our executive management team at some point."
Employees say:
"This company goes above and beyond to provide options to take care of our health. They encourage team volunteer participation by providing paid days off. Making a difference in our community is important to them."
Hilti provides construction equipment and software, and focuses on ensuring that its employees can develop and grow within the company. In February, the company released a new exoskeleton product to reduce strain on workers who wield heavy tools, which the company said gives the worker a “zero-gravity-like state.” One of Hilti’s workshops, called “Hiring the Best People,” teaches interviewing techniques, fair hiring practices, and employment laws to recruitment employees. New hiring managers, recruiters, talent sourcers, and employees involved in the hiring process are required to attend the training.
