We are a traditional medium-sized family business. We see our employees as our capital and they are of crucial importance to us – for only contented members of staff will be able to inspire our customers.
A recent survey by a well-known German corporate consultancy firm reveals that 46% of German citizens would now prefer to work for a medium-sized family-run business. According to the survey, only 20% are attracted by the idea of working for a company quoted on the stock exchange.
We do a lot to keep our employees happy – with regular employee satisfaction surveys, company festivals, Christmas parties, joint sporting events, get-togethers out of working hours and career development opportunities. At Simon Hegele we practise a feedback culture which is honest, fair and constructive. Only on this basis can we be successful and grow together.
Our social commitment is also shown by a number of projects – by our support of the Wirtschaftsjunioren [Business Juniors], the ‘Aktion Kinder unterm Regenbogen’ [‘Children under the Rainbow Campaign’], the Hänsel and Gretel Foundation (lending support to child protection projects) and our involvement in regional sports activities like our sponsorship of the Karlsruhe Sports Club.
