Double recognition for Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions at “HR Solution of the Year” awards

Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions achieved first place in two categories at the “ HR Solution of the Year 2025” competition organized by Behaviour Magazine. The company won in both the CHANGE MANAGEMENT and FRESH START categories. These recognitions affirm Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions’ (DT-ITS) commitment to human-centered innovation and conscious organizational culture development.

The “HR Solution of the Year 2025” competition was announced by Behaviour Magazine for the first time in 2025, with the aim of showcasing and acknowledging innovative HR initiatives that have a genuine, measurable impact on both organizations and people. The award holds special significance in a time when the world of work is changing rapidly, and economic challenges as well as technological advancements demand new responses from HR professionals.

The company received the awards for its “Bench – Building Bridges Between Projects” initiative in the CHANGE MANAGEMENT category, and its “Workation – Work from Anywhere!” project in the FRESH START category. Both initiatives provide human-centered yet systemic responses to current HR challenges and demonstrate that innovation in HR is not only technological but also organizational and cultural.

Bench – Building Bridges Between Projects

Through the Bench project, the company transformed the situation in which employees, upon completing one project, had to wait before starting a new assignment. The new system applies transparent employee profiles and shared search mechanisms through collaboration between HR, leaders, and employees, while ongoing BI reporting supports fast and well-founded decision-making. As a result, idle time has been reduced, continuous support is provided, and employees feel greater security within the organization – even during transitions between projects.

Workation – Work from Anywhere!

The Workation project addressed one of the most relevant questions in today’s world of work: how can flexibility and productivity be harmonized? DT-ITS developed a framework that enables employees to work up to 20 days per year from abroad within the EEA countries and Switzerland, while maintaining team cohesion and performance. This freedom introduced a new dimension to work–life balance and clearly demonstrated that a trust-based corporate culture is the key to long-term effectiveness.

Strategic thinking and a human focus are defining elements of Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions’ operations. The company’s example highlights that human resources management is no longer merely a supporting function but a core strategic asset. The two awards further strengthen the company’s commitment to conscious change management and human-centered innovation.
