Strong, lean and agile, SGS can give employees a safe and stable environment in which to grow and develop, but what about remuneration and benefits?

Our employees are rewarded with competitive remuneration, wherever they are based. We also offer a range of attractive benefits that are competitive and appropriate to their industry, wherever they are in the world. Our benefits reflect both the talents and skills that our employees bring to their activities and the market conditions in-country. Typically, our employee benefits will include retirement plans and medical and health care coverage.

Pay for performance

The significant contribution that our employees make to the success of SGS are recognized and rewarded through performance-driven variable compensation plans.
