Our values, our culture
The values that we developed together with our employees – openness, responsibility, reliability & trustworthiness, trust & courage, respect & appreciation – are put into practice every day. Our corporate culture places a great deal of importance on communicating with each other as equals throughout all hierarchy levels as well as treating each other with respect. This is also firmly anchored in many HR initiatives.
For this reason, there are regular performance reviews as well as “feedback walks” or “leadership lunches”: Instead of the traditional way in the office, we meet for a walk on campus or in a relaxed atmosphere for lunch. As part of our “blind date lunches” you get to know colleagues from other departments and can network with them. And with so-called “KUDO cards” we say thank you and give each other praise or other feedback.
These are our values:
-
Openness:
We are open to new ideas and share our knowledge: Your ideas, innovations and suggestions are very welcome. We live transparency and have a healthy information culture. Regular communication with each other is a matter of course for us. We own up to our mistakes and help each other. We also address critical issues openly and constructively – regardless of the different hierarchical levels.
-
Responsibility:
We are responsible for our own actions and are aware of the consequences. We are not afraid of conflict and speak plainly. Friction is part of the solution. The sustainable success of our work is important to us. We not only treat our colleagues with care, but also our health. We support you with numerous health measures. Your professional development is just as important to us as it is to you, so we support you with extensive measures in this area too.
-
Reliability & credibility:
We can rely on our words. We keep our promises with the required quality and actively explain any deviations. We consistently finish what we have started. We act authentically and loyally and back each other up.
-
Trust & courage:
We trust that everyone will do their best and do not question the competence of our colleagues and managers. We try out new things. We trust in our expertise and are courageous in our decisions. At our so-called “Failure Fridays”, we meet with our colleagues and talk about how we deal with mistakes in our daily work together.
-
Respect & appreciation:
We act in an appreciative manner and pay attention to respectful interaction at eye level. We support each other in achieving common goals. Personal contact with each other is important to us. We give each other feedback and give each other our full attention. Collegial consultation and mutual support are a way of life for us!
Where we work
Ismaning is located on the outskirts of Munich between the Bavarian capital and the airport. The HSE campus is 13 kilometers from the city center of Munich and is easy to reach by all means of transportation. The suburban train (S8) takes you from Ismaning to Munich’s Marienplatz in 23 minutes, or the airport terminal in just 15 minutes. There are also bus connections to the Studentenstadt (U6) and Arabellaparl (U4) subway station. Our campus offers everything you need: a cafeteria, roof terraces, various lawns, and green areas for a stroll during lunch, as well as plenty of free parking.
