Human resources policy
We are as good as our staff. The strategic advancement and development of our personnel is of central importance to the Group's successful growth and the accomplishment of our strategic objectives. We expect a high level of professionalism, loyalty, flexibility, motivation and mobility – both in regional terms and across segments – from our personnel. In return, we foster our staff on a continuous and individual basis – through further and advanced training activities as well as a transparent management style with regular agreements on targets (management by objectives). Both tools constitute vital pillars of our strategic personnel policy.
Our array of management tools is geared to a high degree of individual responsibility. Ongoing skills enhancement measures enable our staff to quickly assume new and/or modified positions according to the relevant requirements profile.
Thanks to this personnel policy, the Group is able to fill management positions predominantly with staff from its own ranks.
