\u201cThe People House is the vision from which we derive our special, future-oriented ebm-papst employee strategy,\u201d explains Dr. Sonja Fleis\u00adcher, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) at ebm-papst. It\u2019s not just a house; it\u2019s a mission state\u00adment that reflects our values and the needs of our employees. We devel\u00adoped the concept by conducting count\u00adless inter\u00adviews in all our regions around the world and across every func\u00adtion and hier\u00adar\u00adchical level within our Group. The results of a global employee survey conducted in 2022, which had an extremely high partic\u00adi\u00adpa\u00adtion rate, were used to further refine and finalize the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe surveys revealed a lot of things. For example, they showed that \u2018enthu\u00adsiasm\u2019 is a very impor\u00adtant value for our employees, and that they also feel it is part of the working expe\u00adri\u00adence and lifestyle at all our sites around the world,\u201d Dr. Fleis\u00adcher recalls. \u201cThat\u2019s why we have chosen to re-empha\u00adsize this point in our values.\u201d Together with the values of effi\u00adciency and humanity, it forms the stable foun\u00adda\u00adtion on which our house is built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the foun\u00adda\u00adtion of our excel\u00adlence, which consists of three building blocks: data analysis and analytics, poli\u00adcies and processes, and integrity and compli\u00adance. This provides a high stan\u00addard for our work, which is always effi\u00adcient, first-class and \u2013 of course \u2013 compliant with the law. But we never forget our humanity, either: We attach great impor\u00adtance to making special moments in the lives of our employees personal and indi\u00advidual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We cele\u00adbrate impor\u00adtant mile\u00adstones in their working lives together with them, from their first day at work, to grad\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion, appren\u00adtice\u00adship and service anniver\u00adsaries, right through to retire\u00adment. In order to main\u00adtain this good working rela\u00adtion\u00adship in the future, we take great care when selecting poten\u00adtial employees to ensure that they fit in well with our corpo\u00adrate culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disman\u00adtling hurdles, creating oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The way we interact with one another is as inviting and open as the archi\u00adtec\u00adture of the People House. \u201cBy actively promoting diver\u00adsity and inclu\u00adsion, we create a pleasant and trusting working envi\u00adron\u00adment in which everyone can be who they are,\u201d affirms Dr. Fleis\u00adcher. \u201cWe strive to create an envi\u00adron\u00adment in which everyone is accepted, respected and valued, and can make the best use of their indi\u00advidual strengths to contribute to our success \u2013 regard\u00adless of their gender, (social) back\u00adground, reli\u00adgion, age, sexual orien\u00adta\u00adtion, or phys\u00adical and mental abil\u00adi\u00adties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want everyone here to feel accepted, respected and valued.\u201d<\/p>\nDr. Sonja Fleis\u00adcher, Chief Human Resources Officer at ebm-papst<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have launched a number of initia\u00adtives and programs to promote this sense of diver\u00adsity. Some deal with work-life balance, an impor\u00adtant priority for the modern employee. This is why we offer child\u00adcare support by coop\u00ader\u00adating with local kinder\u00adgartens, for example. These valu\u00adable part\u00adner\u00adships offer parents the secu\u00adrity of safe child\u00adcare when (re)starting work at ebm-papst. It is also impor\u00adtant to us that our employees can take a flex\u00adible approach to orga\u00adnizing their working hours. This includes part-time and flex\u00adtime models, as well as mobile work options. \u201cWhat is easy to imple\u00adment in terms of admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion, for example, poses chal\u00adlenges when it comes to produc\u00adtion,\u201d Dr. Fleis\u00adcher says. \u201cThat is why we are devel\u00adoping a flex\u00adible working time and shift model for produc\u00adtion, which \u2013 if neces\u00adsary and desired \u2013 can be adapted to suit personal wishes and needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are aware that the propor\u00adtion of women at our company can be increased in several areas. This applies to specific depart\u00adments such as Logis\u00adtics, but also to manage\u00adment posi\u00adtions in general. With this in mind, we have launched several initia\u00adtives to promote women in our work\u00adplace. This involves providing targeted support to help shape indi\u00advidual career paths in the form of work\u00adshops, national and inter\u00adna\u00adtional networks, and mentoring and coaching services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
