Working together to grow

For our employees

We want to offer a working environment that goes beyond legal regulations and promotes employee motivation and potential. Remuneration commensurate with tasks and performance, flexible working time models and flexitime arrangements for a better work-life balance as well as various social benefits play an important role in this. We also strive for a culture of cooperation and tolerance that promotes fulfilment and satisfaction within the company.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: OUR EMPLOYEES

Diversity

In all its facets enriches our collaboration, the personal development of our employees and strengthens performance. Whether gender, age, origin, professional development or personality – our collaboration is characterised by respect, honesty, openness and trusting cooperation. Short decision-making channels and flat hierarchies make it possible to take responsibility and show initiative.  

Equal opportunities

Giving all employees fair opportunities is an important concern for us. Flexible working time arrangements and the option of mobile working help to reconcile professional tasks with other roles and commitments in the private sphere wherever possible. We promote advancement within the company and access to management positions and want to enable women in particular to be more strongly represented at all levels and positions.

Employee development

We offer an environment that takes individual needs into account and promotes personal development. We agree goals and offer support in annual development meetings. A comprehensive range of training courses and development programs for managers create the necessary conditions for this. And even when difficulties and crises arise, mentors and assistance programs provide support in the search for solutions. 

Health

Health in the workplace is first and foremost based on safety. Our comprehensive protection concept effectively counters hazards in the workplace. Specialists work with employees to analyse potential hazards, develop protection concepts and ensure that standards and requirements are met. Shift models are geared towards occupational health requirements. Company doctors provide medical care for the workforce, offer immunisations and provide information on various health issues. 

STRONG TOGETHER: CHARITABLE COMMITMENT
