Playing a leading role in the global transformation of public transportation to electric and autonomous vehicles, Karsan continues to attract attention with its high-tech products developed with a flawless production and service approach. Positioning itself at the forefront of the industry with its expert team and innovative service approach, as well as its products, Karsan has once again received the Great Place to Work® certification, demonstrating employee satisfaction, further confirming its success in employee satisfaction and corporate culture. As in previous years, Karsan has earned the Great Place to Work® certification, one of the world's most respected corporate culture assessments, and has drawn attention with its people-focused approach and strong workplace culture.

The Great Place to Work® certificate is awarded after a comprehensive analysis based on five core criteria: trust, respect, fairness, pride, and team spirit. This certificate is considered one of the most concrete indicators of not only being a good workplace but also having a corporate culture where employees feel valued, motivated, and happy. The company received its Great Place to Work certificate at a ceremony held in Bursa. Speaking at the ceremony, Karsan CEO Okan Baş accepted the certificate from a Great Place to Work representative and shared this significant achievement with all Karsan employees. Karsan's vision for a sustainable corporate culture and new goals for increasing employee engagement were also shared at the event. Karsan was first certified as a "Great Company to Work for" by Great Place to Work® in October 2024. 2025 marked the year in which it further expanded its achievements in this area. Karsan, one of the companies that implemented best practices in Social Responsibility and Volunteering in May 2025, was named one of the Best Employers in the Production and Manufacturing Sector in August. Karsan once again demonstrated its people-focused leadership approach by earning the Great Place to Work® certification this year for its practices focused on employee happiness.

“Employee Satisfaction is Our Greatest Goal”

To continuously improve the employee experience, Karsan established six different working groups in 2022, implementing significant improvements in the areas of communication, ergonomics, social activities and rewards, teamwork and development, and compensation and fringe benefits. These groups, sponsored by senior management, contribute to the development of a participatory and inclusive culture within the organization.

Karsan CEO Okan Baş emphasized that this success belongs to all of the company's employees, saying: “Receiving the prestigious Great Place to Work® certification, a global recognition, for two consecutive years demonstrates that we are on the right track. This year, in May 2025, Karsan was also recognized as one of the companies implementing best practices in Social Responsibility and Volunteerism, and in August, it was named one of the Best Employers in the Production and Manufacturing Sector. All these awards are a result of our strong corporate culture, shaped by the hard work of our employees. Behind this significant success lies the dedicated work of our colleagues, our strong team spirit, our deep-rooted corporate culture, and the respect and compassion we have for one another. We will continue to do even better to ensure the happiness of our colleagues by taking their needs and demands into account.
