The Founder and CEO is proud of the Group's social capital as a visible sign of the sustainable corporate strategy, which is based on continuous investment and long-term commercial success. "This was particularly beneficial for us during the blocking phase. It allowed us, despite the closure of our 800 gaming halls, hundreds of sports betting shops and ten German casinos and cruise ship casinos throughout Europe, to focus on fully preserving the nearly 14,000 jobs in the company," notes Paul Gauselmann.
A leader at the forefront who is proud to have workers who have completed decades of work at the Group's headquarters:
"This strong identification with the company makes me a little proud. It has always been important to me that employees feel comfortable, and I am pleased that this is the case," said the company patriarch.
Officials confirm this time and again: the subsidiary MERKUR Casino is regularly recognised as a "Top National Employer" by one of Germany's leading news magazines. The group of companies also receives top marks for high-quality training and various career opportunities.
The press release also highlights the founder's commitment to responsible gambling. He explains this beautifully when he refers to the regulatory difficulties that are leading to the increase in illegal gambling: "New restrictions are constantly leading to a massive migration of customers to operators, even mostly illegal ones, for example on the Internet, where the protection of young people and players no longer applies. This means that we can often no longer comply with the legally formulated mandate to guide people's natural instinct to gamble in an orderly manner".
