An outstanding employer

Our Corporate Culture is characterized by our great respect towards our employees. For us, this also includes Outstanding Prospects and working conditions. Our awards prove that we take this seriously.

We at SEW­EURODRIVE were honored with 5 stars for being one of the best training companies in Germany by the German business magazine Capital and the talent platform Ausbildung.de following a survey among more than 500 HR managers. The survey focused on the assessment criteria "support", "learning on the job", "commitment of the company" and "chances of success". We excelled particularly in the first two categories as well as in "chances of success". We're pleased about this recognition and it encourages us to make sure that we keep on offering young talents top trainingand an excellent cooperative study program in the future.

We have received the E-Learning Award 2017 in the "Personal Learning Environment" category for our "Learn learning" e-learning project. Our pioneering e-learning scenario beat numerous other projects to win the eLearning Journal's prestigious award.

"Learn learning" is primarily about communicating as equals. With the help pf 36 practical questions, users determine their own personal learning type. The four categories of learning type are characteristic of different learning styles. "Explorer" learners are particularly good at learning from experiences and observations. Other learning types are the "Practitioner", the "Thinker" and the "Decision-maker". Employees can thus receive a learning program tailored to their individual personality.

This learning-focused, interactive design promotes users' intrinsic motivation and opens up new learning options, furthering individual personal development and a stronger learning exchange. True to our motto "It's people who make the difference", it makes a valuable contribution our corporate culture and values .

The vital360° health management program was already awarded the seal of excellence in the 2015 Corporate Health Awards. In 2017, an official one-day audit was carried out where we were able to improve our results once again. We were particularly pleased to hear that we were able to score as one of the finalists in the mechanical engineering / heavy industry category. This means that we can continue to count ourselves among the healthiest companies in Germany! Among other things, the mandatory "Healthy Leadership" training series, the inclusion of health scouts to spread the word as well as our variety of sports and health activities contributed to this excellent result. These measures support our employees not only in their careers, but also in maintaining their health and having fun. The auditors were particularly impressed by the health concept worked out by our employees which provides orientation for all employees and encourages them to take action for themselves and their health.

TÜV Rheinland, in cooperation with the Association of German Engineers (VDI), has awarded us the certificate of "Outstanding employer for engineers" yet again. This means a lot to us; this award is based on an independent, anonymous survey of more than 1,000 engineers and computer scientists at the company as well as audits of the personnel department. Topics such as independent work, career development, working environment, work-life balance, stability in a crisis, organizational structure, and technology leadership are evaluated. We impressed across the board.

It's not only our employees to whom we have a lot to offer. We also care about supporting students. The seal "Fair Company" acknowledges the values that we take as a matter of course: We keep our promises, take responsibility for our employees and hope to inspire enthusiasm even in our trainees and up-and-coming talent.
