Behind every track there is a person

Staff, Development and Equal Opportunities

Technological change, a shortage of skilled workers and new demands are transforming the world of work. Progress is driven by people who share knowledge, apply responsibility and make innovation possible. People are therefore the fundamentals of DEHN’s future-proofness.

Our commitment as an employer

Fair working conditions

Fair pay, employee participation and a stable framework condition foster trust and provide guidance in day-to-day working life.

Flexible working time arrangements and suitable options support people in different life circumstances. 

Opening up new prospects

Training, further education and talent development open up opportunities for a variety of career paths.

We invest in development 

Training, talent management and personalised development programmes are integral parts of our staff development strategy. Through initiatives such as the JOB EXPLORER, excellent training, structured talent programmes and schemes such as #machmehrausdir, we support staff in further developing their professional, methodological and personal skills.

Equal opportunities open up new prospects

Fair and transparent HR processes create equal opportunities and open up development opportunities for people from different backgrounds. We make decisions based on qualification, activity and the requirements of the role in question. Different perspectives enrich collaboration and contribute to the company’s success. 

Safety. Why are safety and health a sustainability issue?

 

Safety starts with people 

No one should have to put their health at risk in order to be able to work. Through prevention, health and safety at work, and health promotion, we lay the fundamentals for safe working conditions and long-term wellbeing.

Inclusion happens in everyday working life

For many years, DEHN has maintained a close connection with the Jura-Werkstätten in Neumarkt and other workshops in the region. Cooperation with the Mühlhausen operating location was further developed: People with disabilities work directly on site and are integrated into the production processes. The aim is to create a working environment that fosters participation and draws on a range of strengths.

Benefiting from one another

Inclusive workplace design promotes inclusion and improves working conditions for the entire workforce. 

Our commitment extends beyond the workstation

For us, corporate responsibility does not end with the working day or at the boundaries of our company. We would like to play our part in helping people to create opportunities, pass on knowledge and support social development. 

Promoting education

Through the endowed professorship at Ilmenau University of Technology, we support research, knowledge transfer and the development of future skilled workers.

Creating opportunities

Through initiatives such as ‘Hightech live’, we provide pupils at schools with practical insights into technical and commercial career paths. Throughout the school year, young people get to know the world of work at DEHN and receive guidance on their future careers.
