Annual Report 2019

In order to be able to recruit, further develop, and retain qualified employees, we seek to present ourselves around the globe as an attractive employer and to motivate our employees to achieve top performance in the digital world. Our management staff play a key role here, so it is crucial that we equip our managers with outstanding leadership capabilities. In addition, we want to take on our social responsibility and let diversity flourish in our global company.

We want to reach these overarching goals by employing efficient processes. One of the control tools we use is our HR Scorecard, which uses key performance indicators (KPIs) concerning e.g. demographic development, diversity, and employer attractiveness. This enables us to evaluate the sustainability of human resources measures and processes in the individual areas of action. These are derived from our HR Strategy (See graphic E. 02). HR-eData Manager Reports serve as another control tool. These reports are available to all managers as a self-service feature. They contain KPIs and detailed information on managers’ personal areas of responsibility.

General figures regarding the development of our workforce numbers can be found in the »Workforce« section of the Management Report.

Our Group-wide employee survey is a key indicator of where we currently stand from the point of view of our employees and what we need to do to improve the company in the future. The survey is conducted every two years, with the next one scheduled for 2020.
