Athens, 10 October 2024 – Kaizen Gaming, one of the biggest GameTech companies in the world, has been officially recognised as one of the “Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For in Europe™” marking its second year running and third overall to be awarded this honour. This year, Great Place to Work has partnered with Fortune Europe to showcase the top 100 large and multinational companies for the first time, placing Kaizen Gaming in the prestigious list.
Through the Great Place to Work organisation, companies are recognised for creating exceptionally positive work environments and outstanding company culture. Notably, this distinction is especially important as it is driven by Kaizen Gaming’s more than 2,700 employees themselves, operating across 17 countries and made up of 32 nationalities, with scores determined and certifications awarded based on their feedback and independent analysis.
Stella Voulgaraki, Chief People Officer at Kaizen Gaming, said: “Kaizen Gaming's growth has been nothing short of extraordinary, driven by our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, engaging entertainment to customers across the world. At the heart of this success is our belief that a great company can only be built by exceptional people. Our active focus on fostering a culture rooted in inclusion, diversity, collaboration, and innovation ensures that every ‘Kaizener’ can bring their authentic self to work and has the opportunity for professional growth. By embracing our 'one team' philosophy, we create a supportive, people-first environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our shared vision. This is particularly vital as we continue to expand, bringing in new talent around the world to join us on our mission.”
In addition to being recognised as one of the “Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for in Europe™”, over the previous 12 months the company has also been certified as a ‘Great Place to Work’ in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech Republic and Canada.
For 30 years, Great Place To Work has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences. Using its proprietary Trust Index™ survey, the organisation measures the core of what creates a great workplace, including key behaviours that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. Among other factors, employees share their feedback on leadership accessibility, honest communication, training and benefits, as well as support for their well-being and whether they are proud of their work and feel it is meaningful.
The past year has seen Kaizen Gaming go from strength-to-strength. In addition to tremendous growth and hiring, its premium brand Betano became the first ever gaming brand to simultaneously sponsor top international football tournaments CONMEBOL Copa America™️ 2024 and the UEFA EURO 2024™. This is in addition to securing landmark sponsorships with leagues, top-tier clubs and athletes across the globe, as well as a concerted focus on expanding the company’s social responsibility footprint through Kaizen Foundation, the Social Purpose Foundation funded exclusively by Kaizen Gaming.
