Team Spirit at the Table Football Tournament
At Hays, our table football tournaments are more than just a game – they represent a valued tradition that strengthens collaboration and fosters meaningful connections across departments.
These regular events offer a chance to engage beyond daily routines, encourage interaction across teams, and celebrate the values of fair play and shared success.
We believe that true sportsmanship goes beyond competition. It builds relationships, creates shared experiences, and reinforces the collaborative culture that defines who we are
Hays Austria Alumni Netzwerk
From a small group of dedicated colleagues to a trusted partner across Vienna, Graz, and Linz – our journey has been shaped by the people who contributed to it. We value every chapter of our shared history and take pride in the milestones we've reached together.
To honour these connections and keep them alive, we’ve established the Hays Austria Alumni Network. Former and current team members come together in our office lounge to reconnect, share memories, and build new relationships. It’s a space for appreciation, exchange, and continued collaboration – even beyond active employment.

Teamevents
At Hays Austria, our team events are more than moments of relaxation and fun – they are an essential part of our company culture. Whether it’s bowling, vineyard hikes, or graffiti workshops, these shared experiences strengthen collaboration and foster a sense of belonging across all teams.
They offer a refreshing change from the daily routine and provide valuable opportunities to build relationships, celebrate achievements, and create lasting memories. Ultimately, these moments remind us that we are not just colleagues – we are a team that grows together and supports one another.
Diversity & Inclusion
At Hays, diversity is more than a concept – it’s a way of working and thinking. We firmly believe that the variety of perspectives and experiences our employees bring enriches our daily work and opens up new paths to solving challenges.
Our commitment to diversity is deeply rooted in our company culture.
We recognize that every individual contributes to our success through their unique background and personal strengths. That’s why we foster an environment where everyone can express themselves authentically and share ideas openly.
Inclusion is key to our success. We promote a culture of belonging, where all employees feel valued, respected, and supported. Networks like our Pride Network are just one example of how we actively advance diversity and inclusion across the organization.
We are committed to supporting the individual needs and ambitions of our employees. We offer flexible working models, support work-life balance, and encourage both personal and professional development – tailored to individual circumstances.
Unity in Diversity – Our Regular Celebration of Cultures
At Hays Austria, the International Lunch of Cultures is more than just an event – it’s a cherished tradition that celebrates the diversity of our team. On a regular basis, colleagues come together to honour cultural variety and enjoy culinary specialties from each other’s home countries.
From crispy cheese pastries from Burgenland to the delicate flavours of Chilean salad and the carefully prepared eggplant dishes from Persian cuisine – every bite is a tribute to the cultures that enrich life at Hays.
It’s an occasion that brings us closer together, and we’re especially proud that our colleagues in six German cities have embraced this tradition alongside us. Together, we show that food is more than nourishment – it’s a bridge between cultures and a way to connect people.
Sustainability - Taking Action for a Greener Future
At Hays, sustainability and environmental responsibility are close to our hearts. That’s why our Vienna office hosted an interactive event designed to raise awareness around proper waste separation – in a fun and engaging way. The goal was not only to share knowledge about correct disposal practices, but also to encourage participation through a playful challenge. Participants scored points with accurate throws and received a sustainable gift as a thank-you.
The top performer was rewarded with a special surprise prize. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive environmental impact in the workplace. It shows that every individual can contribute – and that sustainability starts with small, conscious actions.
Helping for your tomorrow
Our volunteering program was created with a clear purpose: to support our community and help those who may not have the same opportunities as others. Every employee has the chance to dedicate one working day per year to a social project of their choice.
This initiative is deeply meaningful to us – and the positive feedback we receive each time is truly moving. It reflects the values we live by and shows how small actions can have a big impact.
