Our working environment

Our employees are the key to our long-term success. That is why we create a working environment that is characterized by diversity, dialogue and development. We promote individual strengths, focus on equal opportunities and create flexible and secure framework conditions that meet the needs of our employees.

The focus is on respectful interaction, continuous learning and anchoring sustainability as an attitude within the company. Because only together can we create a working environment in which every perspective counts - and in which our employees can grow with us.

Lifelong learning

We believe that personal learning and individual development are of great importance for our employees and for the success of our corporate development. That is why we create space for continuous learning, promote individual potential and open up prospects for all career levels. Whether in day-to-day work or in targeted training, we make learning an integral part of our corporate culture.

With a holistic approach, we support our employees in facing challenges with confidence, staying physically and mentally in balance and experiencing themselves as part of an appreciative corporate culture.

An attractive employer

Working where people count - from the first contact to long-term cooperation. A positive candidate experience, structured onboarding, an active corporate culture and regular mood barometers are a matter of course for us. In this way, we create an environment in which everyone feels welcome, heard and valued.

Diversity, equality and inclusion

We are committed to equal opportunities and fairness in the workplace. Equal conditions for all employees regardless of characteristics such as gender, origin, religion, disability or age are a matter of course for us and are practiced as such. In addition to this, various diversity measures are implemented to support underrepresented groups of people. The promotion of women should be highlighted in particular, as the ICT sector is an industry with a relatively low proportion of female employees.
