Key topics and current measures
Employer attractiveness and working conditions
As a modern employer, we are constantly taking measures to optimize the environment our employees work in. We pitch ourselves as an attractive employer offering exciting career opportunities and flexible working time models, we recruit key skilled workers and workers with great potential, and at the same time we retain existing employees in the company.
Occupational safety and health protection
The health and safety of our employees is our top priority. This is why we rely on extensive measures in the areas of prevention, promoting health and communication. In addition to technical expertise, we therefore also seek to maintain and strengthen the physical and mental health of our employees.
Training and further education of employees
We want to attract highly skilled workers and retain them in our company as happy employees who hold valuable knowledge. We do this by providing internal career paths and offering further education and lifelong learning to support them. We are tackling the shortage of skilled workers through a comprehensive apprentice training program, and managers also receive special training on effective leadership. The training we offer is provided both face to face and web-based and ranges from coaching on specific subjects to language courses and training on how to give presentations.
Diversity and equal opportunities
As an international group, we value the diversity that is reflected in the origin, culture, language, and ideas of our employees. We attach great importance to all employees being treated with fairness and respect, and we create a favorable working climate in which different world views, cultures, lifestyles, personal backgrounds and knowledge are accepted and encouraged. We combat discrimination and inequality and also demonstrate this with fair pay, uniform working standards and initiatives to promote diversity.
Product safety
The health and safety of our customers is always the top priority across all our product areas. Our goal is to produce extremely safe products of the highest quality because this also allows the products to be used reliably for longer. Quality assurance measures such as reliable testing facilities and rider assistance systems help us to deliver the best possible outcomes for our users – this results in a very low recall rate.
Data protection and cyber security
Cyber attacks are a constant threat and can cause serious damage to companies. This is why we protect all the data at our disposal in accordance with the relevant laws. Cyber security and protecting the data that we process – particularly in the area of research and development, vehicle and customer data and the personal data of our employees and applicants – are at the heart of all the measures we take.
