OUR PHILOSOPHY

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

Our employees should be happy to come to work, enjoy their work and be passionate about their work and their company.

EMPLOYEE IDEAS

Gebrüder Hartkopf should be as good as the ideas of all the employees. This requires a constructive corporate culture in which you want to get involved.

Good Pay

We want to pay our employees appropriately, in line with their performance and, if possible, well. If the company is doing well, then the top performers and managers at Gebrüder Hartkopf should be doing well too.

more Values

Avoiding minimum wage

The people who work here should be able to concentrate on their work and not have to worry about financial matters. We want to multi-qualify so that we can pay (significantly) above the minimum wage if possible.

Perfect position

We want to use every single employee where they have the most talent and joy and where they bring the greatest benefit to the company.

corporate culture

An appreciative, social, human and performance-oriented corporate culture of challenging and encouraging is the cultural basis at Gebrüder Hartkopf. 80% of our success depends on how we treat people.

Qualification

We want to train our employees to become highly qualified specialists, thereby giving them variety in their activities and deploying them flexibly. The important thing is that quality comes first, then performance and not the other way around. And the qualification is an important basis for good quality.

Team

Many good individual players do not automatically make a good team. Good and constructive cooperation with a focus on the interests of the company is crucial.

Recruiting

The basis for successful recruiting is a high level of employee satisfaction among the core workforce. As a growing company, we are constantly looking for good employees whom we would like to offer an attractive job.

Health

The health of our employees – as well as occupational safety – has top priority. We want to avoid any kind of health impairment in the workplace.

Occupational safety

Occupational safety in the company and the protection of our employees come before striving for performance, quality, turnover and profit.

Strategy

The basis for a good strategic orientation of the company is to understand ourselves, our customers, suppliers and the market, to know who we are, what our core competence is and with which products we make money.
