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.
