Fraport AG was recognized on May 29, 2008 at the awards ceremony of the business competition "Erfolgsfaktor Familie 2008" ("Success Factor Family 2008") as overall winner in the "large-scale enterprise" category in Berlin. The German Federal Minister for Family, Senior Citizens, Women's and Youth Affairs, Ursula von der Leyen, recognized Fraport for corporate policies with an exemplary family orientation.
"The winners are trendsetters in modern human resources policy and are setting new standards for the whole German business sector", emphasized von der Leyen. "With this competition, we are making its success stories public and create role models according to which other enterprises in Germany should orientate themselves."
audit berufundfamilie is a strategic management instrument that supports employers in establishing a sustainable, economically attractive balance between their corporate aims and employee interests. It is recommended by the leading German trade associations BDA, BDI, DIHK and ZDH and is sponsored by the German Federal Minister for Family Affairs and the German Federal Minister of Economics.
berufundfamilie gGmbH has been offering the audit since 1999, during which time it has already evolved into a stamp of quality for family consciousness in German industry. The audit shows: Human resources policies that consciously take family issues into account are economical because they save more than they cost.
Whether in large and small enterprises, manufacturing companies and service providers, public institutions or non-profit organizations: the audit makes it possible to develop tailor-made, practical solutions from which management and employees profit in equal measure.
Fraport's staffing policy, oriented on equal opportunitie, was already three times awarded the Total E-Quality title by Total E-Quality Deutschland e.

Within the scope of university marketing measures, Fraport takes part in several employer rankings each year. In early August, Fraport AG achieved its best ranking to date among Germany's top employees in the study "The Graduate's Barometer 2006/2007 – German Business and Engineering Editions". For the eighth time in a row, the preferences and aims of students from all over Germany were determined with regard to occupation, career and employers. Three editions of the study are available: Business, engineering and IT.
All together, the responses of more than 20,000 students about to take their final exams flowed into the results. This makes the Graduate's Barometer the biggest study of its kind in Germany. The return rate for every edition exceeds 25 percent, which is remarkably high for questionnaires and a clear indicator of the quality of the study.
The ranking lists of the most popular employers among German students of economics and engineering are published every year in the business magazine "Wirtschaftswoche". Fraport AG attained the following rank on the list of the most popular employers: Business Edition: 48

With 88 enterprises, Top Arbeitgeber Deutschland 2008 ("Germany's Top Employer 2008") scrutinizes more companies than in the previous year and thus represents an even larger cross-section of German enterprises across all industries. These include not only famous major corporations but also innovative medium-sized enterprises that offer an attractive work environment for their employees. This makes the study a valuable source of information for graduates, young professionals or career changers.
The companies were assessed by the independent research company CRF and the magazine Junge Karriere, which is published by the publishing company Verlagsgruppe Handelsblatt. In the process, every company was evaluated in the areas Market Leader, Remuneration, Development, Job Security, Cuddle Factor and Work/Life Balance via a differentiated point system according to which the overall winner was determined. A team of independent business journalists conducted additional onsite background interviews. This resulted in far-reaching insights into the human resources management strategies, employment systems and performance requirements of the companies.
Fraport took 4
th place in the "Market Leader" category.
