Here’s Why Malta Has Become Such An Attractive Home For Hornets
Malta has been swarming with hornets lately and with the country offering such a hospitable environment for these hardworking, fun-loving creatures, numbers look to continue increasing.
We’re of course not referring to those carnivorous oriental Hornets which wreak havoc on the Maltese countryside for much of the year, but about a much friendlier breed of Hornet – the type that can be found scurrying around Hornetsecurity’s offices in Malta.
Hornetsecurity is a leading global IT and cloud security company which has had a presence in Malta since its acquisition of the Maltese software company Altaro in January 2021.
Founded in Germany in 2007, the company employs 400 Hornets, as they are affectionately referred to, across 12 regional offices. Hornetsecurity services over 50,000 clients including Konica Minolta, Mercedes, BBC and CLAAs, to name a few.
Besides being a world leader in a cutting-edge industry, Hornetsecurity is also making waves in the HR world, through its dedication to employee wellbeing. This comes across in various ways through the company’s attractive employment conditions, with impactful, worldwide-reaching projects at the heart of it all.
Fun is essential to productivity
Hornetsecurity believes that pleasant working environment is at the core of any successful business and is committed to ensuring people feel at ease.
Hornets are encouraged to dress whichever way they feel most comfortable and to choose the working hours that best let them balance their professional and family obligations. Hornets are free to organise their day in the way they feel will bring the best out of themselves.
Hornetsecurity’s offices are equipped with a PlayStation and games room for Hornets to unwind with colleagues whenever they need to. There’s also no shortage of out of work events for the team to let loose and enjoy each other’s company in a relaxing setting. And the company’s HQ in Hannover has its very own beer wagon, serving pints on tap.
As we all need some refreshments to get us through the workday, Hornets can enjoy free fruit and soft drinks while they’re at work. Some meetings are even specifically designated as pizza or doughnut meetings.
Conscious of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and interests outside work, Hornetsecurity is also proud to offer employees an allowance for joining fitness or sports clubs. There’s even a free book policy where the company buys books employees want to read.
A mission to keep companies’ data safe
It isn’t just fun and games, however. Cloud computing is an essential part of today’s business world and as such, Hornetsecurity’s services are essential to the smooth operations of thousands of businesses each day.
