We're proud to announce that Amazon has been certified as a Top Employer 2025 in Europe, marking our third consecutive year receiving this prestigious recognition.
Putting our people first
The Top Employers Institute is globally recognised for its world-leading certification and data-driven evaluation of human resources practices. Their certification process examines various aspects of HR, including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity & Inclusion, and Well-being.
Our certification spans across Amazon's activities in Europe, including our operations network, corporate offices, customer service centres, and research and development facilities.
Top Employers Institute CEO David Plink says: “Consistency in a not-so-consistent world? In a time of rapid change—where technological, economic, and social factors continually reshape our world—these extraordinary times bring out the best in people and organisations. This year’s Top Employers Certification Program showcases the resilience of the certified Top Employers 2025, who consistently prioritise the growth and wellbeing of their people, as they enrich the world of work. We are proud to celebrate these people-first leaders and teams as the Top Employers for 2025!”

Jorrit Van Der Meulen, VP EU Stores at Amazon, said: "Being recognised as a Top Employer across Europe for the third consecutive year is an incredible honor and acknowledges our ongoing commitment to the development and well-being of our employees. From those starting work with fewer skills to professionals with doctorate-level qualifications, we offer roles where people can develop their careers and positively impact the lives of our customers.”
Stefano Perego, VP International Operations & Global Ops Services, said: The Top Employers Institute recognition reinforces our ongoing efforts to continuously innovate in how we support, develop, and empower our team members. As I travel across our European operations, I'm consistently inspired by the dedication of our people and the positive impact we're making in their lives and careers."
How we're shaping the future of work
At the heart of our operations lies a deep commitment to our employees. This commitment is evident in our comprehensive approach to employee development, safety, and well-being:
- Continuous improvement in safety: Globally, we allocated $750 million in 2024 alone to improve workplace safety. Our goal is to be the safest workplace within the industries in which we operate, and we’re continuing to make meaningful progress—thanks to the combined efforts of our more than 9,000 dedicated safety professionals and every one of our employees around the world.
- Career development: Our Career Choice skills training program pre-pays funding for nationally-recognised courses of up to €8,000 over four years to support current and future job needs for thousands of employees. We marked its 10th anniversary in Europe in 2024 adding more than 25 new programs ranging from mechatronics to machine learning. Additionally, we've pledged to provide free AI skills training to two million people globally by 2025, preparing our workforce for the AI-driven future.
- Technological innovation: Amazon has invested more than €700 million since 2019 in robotics and AI powered technologies that are shaping the future of work across our European fulfilment centre network. These technologies support employees in their roles, providing them with a safer working environment and upskilling opportunities while reducing packaging materials.
- Job creation: As we have innovated to enrich the lives of our customers, we have created hundreds of different job roles in our teams across Europe. Whether in our corporate headquarters, research and development centres, fashion studios or fulfilment centres, Amazon offers all kinds of jobs for all kinds of people.
