Work life

Work. Life. / Balance \ Home. Office.

Innovation is our company core. Our people's ideas are essential to our success. These ideas don't always show up from 9-5. Not always in the office. We believe that our employees can only deliver their best ideas if they can shape their job in a self-determined way. That includes being able to use their time in the home office to do what they're best at: creating ideas.

Flexitime models have been with us since the 1980s. We have further expanded flexible working hours and also enable work from home, without specifying a particular location. Our work-life balance is constantly changing. Feel free to take a look around – from childcare to health and fitness – we'll strike a balance together.

Up to 60% homeoffice as new normal

Even after the pandemic ends working from home offices will stay a permanent fixture in our ways of working. Since September 2021, the new employer/works council agreement “mobile work” is in place. It applies for the headquarters in Munich and many other German locations. With the agreement, new, hybrid working hours models are established that allow employees to work remotely for 60% of the time.

"Over the past year and a half, we have seen how a culture of trust permeates our company, even as thousands of employees work from home."
Holger Schötz, Executive Vice President Human Resources

Home office came, saw - and stayed.

Covid-19 has turned all our lives upside down - and not least the world of work. Within just under three weeks, for example, 6,000 computers were connected from our home office. Our "new normal" has become very flexible - we are working on new, hybrid work models. Personal interaction will remain important to us and strengthens our trusting relationships.

During the pandemic, this was a particular challenge for our company culture. Find out here how our working environment has changed, especially after 2020. With the stories and testimonials of our people, we would like to give you an insight into how we have integrated new work, home office and hybrid models into our ways of collaboration.

#1 Meet & greet!

Your colleagues are either working from home or the office. Get in touch as you would when meeting in person – and ask how everybody is doing. Tip: If your bandwidth allows, share via video. Be (pleasantly) surprised to meet your colleagues in a different environment.
