Ways out of the violence: cooperation with the Austrian women’s shelters

Sometimes in life things don’t go as planned. Especially violence against women within their families is a very present topic.

Alone in 2019 there were 34 women murdered in Austria. The Austrian women’s shelters are an important first safe haven for women and their children.

As a company that cares about its social responsibility, Markas cooperates with the institutions of the Austrian women’s shelters – together we want to support the residents and offer them job vacancies in our company. Over ten women, who live(d) at the shelter in St. Pölten, now work for Markas.

It is our concern to be there for all of our employees. The quality of our service hinges mostly on our staff, therefore we see them as our most important resource. Central aspects of our employee satisfaction are professional and personal training possibilities and the security of a lasting workplace. Those factors are attractive for applicants as well.
