Lidl Malta has been named a ‘Top Employer’ for the eighth year in succession. This certification, awarded by the renowned Top Employers Institute, validates the company’s long-term vision of placing its over 550-strong workforce at the very core of its operational success.
By consistently meeting the highest global standards in HR, Lidl Malta reaffirms its position as an employer of choice, dedicated to advancing workplace standards across the Maltese islands.
Lidl Malta’s approach to human resources is built on the principle of continuous evolution. The company’s strategy focuses on holistic employee well-being, combining a competitive benefits package with meaningful career development.
Beyond providing comprehensive private medical insurance and support for significant life milestones, the retailer invests heavily in lifelong learning.
By offering international career pathways within the wider Lidl Group and fostering a culture of internal promotion, Lidl Malta ensures that its team members are building long-term, rewarding careers.
This is further supported by a commitment to open communication, where regular feedback is used to actively shape and improve the daily work environment.
This local success is mirrored on an international scale. The Lidl Group has once again secured the ‘Top Employer Europe’ seal – marking its ninth consecutive year of excellence across all 31 operating countries.
Furthermore, the company has retained the prestigious ‘Top Employer Enterprise’ status. This dual recognition places Lidl in an elite category of global organisations, acknowledged for their ability to maintain exceptional people standards and harmonised HR practices across diverse borders.
“Securing the Top Employer certification for the eighth consecutive year is a significant milestone that reflects the dedication and passion of our entire team,” said Owen Micallef, Lidl Malta Director. “This recognition reinforces our position as an employer of choice. We remain committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every colleague can flourish and reach their full potential. For us, this is not just an award, but a promise to keep putting our people first as we move forward into 2026.”
The Top Employers Institute’s certification is based on a rigorous evaluation of HR best practices via the HR Best Practices Survey.
This survey covers six HR domains consisting of 20 topics, including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Well-being, and Diversity & Inclusion.
By achieving this recognition for the eighth year running, Lidl Malta reaffirms its pledge to maintain a world-class employee experience, ensuring that its workforce remains at the heart of its business strategy.
