People business

Our business primarily rests on the know-how and experience of our employees. Since we do not produce any goods, but provide services, our employees are the most valuable capital we possess. Specialist skill, networked thinking, entrepreneurial acting, personality and the ability to move in different cultures: these characteristics constitute our company spirit.

Staying ahead of the game: Having the right people at the right time at the right place is a vital prerequisite for economic success. That's why we regularly carry out a 360-degree feedback check on our entire management: Does performance match the person, task and expectations? Our managers benefit from this feedback in the same way the company does, because substantial development is only possible when the most important questions are answered with honesty. Our junior management talent is pooled from our own ranks for the most part. In selecting suitable personnel for managerial positions we use a development programme that includes successive preparation for future responsibilities.
