People and culture

Investment in the future

The fact that the Weitzer Group has already been able to celebrate its 190th anniversary is due in large part to our employees.

This success is only possible thanks to their hard work, their passion, their flexibility and their willingness to support even difficult decisions. Their expertise, commitment and creativity are decisive for the quality of our products and make us a partner with handshake quality for our customers and suppliers.

We are convinced that competent and satisfied employees are the greatest potential for entrepreneurial success. The Weitzer Group sees high-quality training and further education as an important investment in the future. As a result, employees and the Weitzer Group often remain connected for decades or even their entire working lives. This is also what we mean by sustainability.

Leadership programme

This is why concepts for career paths, new forms of work and corporate communication are being developed as part of employer branding. A multi-year leadership program (starting in May 2021) teaches techniques for self-reflection, agile leadership and the use of various leadership tools.

The further development of employees in the Group is supported by the Smart Working approach and the demonstration of its possibilities. All sites will be fully integrated into the Weitzer world. A sustainably improved communication and management culture leads to synergies that enable growth targets to be achieved while maintaining the same level of personnel deployment.

“People and culture are anchored in our corporate strategy. This enables us to actively work on our employer brand. We create a corporate culture that is characterized by closeness to people, open communication and a strong sense of community.”
Maria Zettl-Gottmann, Head of Human Resources
