🌍International get together with all the purchasing colleagues from our different locations. Under the motto “People within purchasing”, Diehl Metall's purchasing community came together for the second international Procurevent to strengthen personal exchange and discuss future topics. The two-day program was extremely diverse and offered an excellent platform for interactive exchange: In addition to getting to know each other and gaining valuable insights from the CFO perspective, participants were able to develop concrete approaches for future work in workshops on the topics of “Savings in purchasing” and “Use of AI in daily work”. Thanks to all participants😊 Check out the video for more insights 👇 #DiehlMetall #Purchase #DiehlTeam #Event

Today is Mental Health Day 2024 🌍 Seriously, how are you? "Reden ist Gold, wenn die Psyche mitspielen soll." 🌟 For me, it's important to take responsibility – for myself and for others. Together, we can highlight the importance of mental health. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SocialResponsibility #StrongerTogether #TeamOetiker #OneOetiker

Peer Coaching - I'm in! 💡 Today, I was part of a recap session on the topic "I develop my people...& myself". The interactive exchange format with peer coaching showed me again that continuous development is key to staying ahead and generating employee satisfaction. In 1867, Friedrich Voith probably wouldn't have expected that his wood grinding machine would one day lead to a state-of-the-art paper machine that is constantly developing and further supported by AI and digital products 😉 This wouldn't be possible without passionate employees who are willing not to stand still and have a tireless drive to foster innovation #paperheroes One more reason not to let employee development fall by the wayside! ☝ And now: When will you challenge your development plan? #EmployeeGrowth #Development #PaperIndustry #Papermaking #CreatorsAtVoith

What does Europe mean for me? What do I think about the values of Europe? What do they mean for me? First of all, Europe for me is more than the European Union. And originally it has been founded with the purpose not to create common values, it was especially built due to economic reasons to decrease barriers in trading. But over the time it became more, it became a community which created an identity which is more than just or country specific identity. And this is what Europe is for me, spending an IDENTITY to me, a feeling of BELONGING to something bigger. Am I loosing my German identity? For sure not, I am and feel still very German and being proud and grateful for it. I am working now already since a long time in an international environment, due to this I started to deal with different views than just mine. Gaining insights of totally different perspectives, beliefs, needs and realities enriched my professional experience but also my personal life. It also challeng(ed) my own views. It made me understand how previleged I am, it made me understand, we as Germans are not the center of the world, it made me repected that POWER is depending also on others. Looking on diversity an inclusion: The construct of a European Union moved all of us so far ahead, the strenghtening and protections of diverse communities and minorities were only possible due a European discourse, this was and is always challenging as we always need to ask ourselves why we personally might think and feel differently. For me, being a gay man, I personally feel much more respected, accepted and stronger than ever before. Thank you, Europe! Europe, you made all our societies develop, grow and richer! You can think whatever about the European Union, I also struggle often with this bureaucratic, complicated and slow processes and way of decision making. But is there a better "model"? In these times of uncertainty and dangers, do we think, just country related politics would lead into something better? Would be a German voice more powerful than a European voice? Would we stay in a safer environment? I cannot believe that. Europe is needed, more than ever before. Last but not least, "Europe" made me connected to precious friends and colleagues I never want to miss again. I am now having a global responsibility and this again will challenge my views and will make me grow, and I will take my European experience with me to make impact to others. What does Europe mean for you? What do you think about the values of Europe? What do they mean for you? To all, who read this and are eligible to vote this sunday, go voting! You are heard, your vote counts. Let's do it.... Thank you, Knut Riemann! Took your challenge :-) #Europe #Europeanunion #Europeanelections #Vote #Challenge

𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 - 𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 🌱 Last week, our new team at MANN+HUMMEL held a strategy workshop and, as I mentioned in last week’s post, our top priority was building a stronger team dynamic 💪 We kicked things off with a questionnaire that included questions like “What do you love most about your job?” and “Where do you feel most at home?” 🏡 But one question really resonated with me and prompted deeper reflection: 💡 “𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲?” 💡 The answers around the table were honest and varied, ranging from urgent meeting invites from the boss 📅 to witnessing unkind behaviour towards a colleague ❌ However, one answer stood out to me: 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸. It made me wonder - are we ever truly comfortable with constructive criticism? 🤔 Receiving feedback can be challenging, but it’s also a powerful tool for growth 🌠 Here are a few strategies I would recommend for embracing it effectively: 1️⃣ 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 💬: Feedback is often about improving processes, skills, or outcomes – not about you as a person. 2️⃣ 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 ❓: If something isn’t clear, ask questions to understand the feedback better. This shows you’re engaged and eager to learn. 3️⃣ 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 🔍: Try to view feedback objectively: What can I do to improve in this area? This turns criticism into a roadmap for development. 4️⃣ 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌱: Mistakes are part of learning. Rather than feeling discouraged, focus on how each piece of feedback can push you closer to your goals. 5️⃣ 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 🙏: Receiving feedback means someone invested time to help you grow. Thank them – it keeps the lines of communication open. #FiltrationAmbassador #FeedbackTips #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamBuilding #ConstructiveCriticism #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement #GrowthMindset #CareerDevelopment

As an employer, it is important for us to support and train our employees in dealing with diversity in their daily work. The result is equal opportunities for all. Carina Sembritzki, who has been working in our Internal Audit team at Rheinmetall since 2021, is part of our diverse team. Since the age of two, she has been severely handicapped by hearing loss bordering on deafness. She is open about her disability and draws conclusions that are important for everyone. "Of course, there are situations in everyday life where I have to overcome special challenges. These include conversations with a lot of background noise, such as in the cafeteria or on the phone abroad. However, I never see this as something negative, but rather as "something" that can teach you a lot about yourself and other people. I always remind myself that my hearing loss is not as present and obvious to others as it is to me. It helps to be extra open about it and also leads to nice and interesting conversations. That gives you self-confidence and self-awareness. Rheinmetall has a very liberal approach to this issue. During the hiring process, employees were only asked what they needed to do their jobs properly. This includes a headset and an office with no background noise. "To be honest, it was never an issue otherwise," she says. "Owning up to your disability also means owning up to yourself. You can only be helped if you are open about what you need.This is the prerequisite for finding solutions.If you don't hear well or can't follow a conversation, it's helpful to make people aware of that and communicate it openly. People are more aware of me and speak louder and slower, for example, which has a very positive effect on me because it makes my everyday life easier.And as mentioned above, overcoming difficult situations brings a lot of self-confidence and self-assurance". She does not (yet) see a real "corporate culture for people with severe disabilities" at Rheinmetall. Although it is known that there are representatives for severely disabled employees within the prescribed framework, few details are known beyond that. Christian Schulte, Senior Expert Diversity at Rheinmetall, has set himself the task of changing this."I believe that much more can be done here. Both internally and externally in terms of communication, but also in terms of substance." Carina Sembritzki has a lot of ideas."A common network, exchange of ideas, mutual support, maybe even a buddy for newcomers and so on... I have a lot of ideas!" Her hearing loss does not define her limits, but her possibilities. She has learned to be proud of her individuality and to go her own way with confidence.  We will support her if necessary. And with this interview, she will hopefully inspire many people, both inside and outside Rheinmetall, to follow their own path openly and confidently.

🌊 The Customs & Trade Compliance Iceberg: What Lies Beneath 🌊 Trade compliance isn’t just about visible processes like customs clearance and duties. It’s an intricate structure, with most activities happening below the surface: 🔹 Risk management 🔹 Sanctions screening 🔹 Supplier due diligence 🔹 Legal monitoring and tech integration The unseen aspects drive efficiency and safeguard against regulatory pitfalls. Understanding this “iceberg” helps reveal the strategic importance of a robust compliance program. Let’s dive deeper to stay compliant and competitive! #TradeCompliance #Smart #Customs #Control #RiskManagement #SupplyChain

When we encounter people in our daily lives, it’s easy to make quick judgments based on surface-level impressions. However, every person carries a unique story, shaped by experiences, challenges, and dreams that we may never fully understand. What we know about someone’s life is often just a small fragment of their reality. We see the outer layer – their appearance, their job, their social interactions – but beneath lies a complex tapestry of emotions, histories, and aspirations. Each smile, each word, each action is influenced by factors we may never see: the struggles they've faced, the triumphs they've achieved, the losses they've endured. Empathy and kindness become crucial when we acknowledge the limited scope of our understanding. By recognizing that we only see a part of someone’s journey, we can approach others with greater compassion and patience. This mindset fosters deeper connections and a more supportive community, where people feel seen and valued beyond superficial judgments. Next time you interact with someone, take a moment to consider the vastness of their unseen world. A kind word, a listening ear, or a simple gesture of respect can make a profound difference. After all, everyone's life is a rich narrative, deserving of understanding and appreciation.

✨ 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿! ✨ No, it's not 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 Christmas 🎅 ... it's end of year feedback time! 📢 Performance Evaluations, Personal Development Reviews, Annual Appraisals - whatever terminology you use in your business 👩‍💻 at MANN+HUMMEL, we focus on evaluating both progress and potential at the end of the calendar year 🚀 While we focus on giving our team members feedback on their year, let's not overlook an equally important opportunity: 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 feedback as leaders.

I would like to take this 21st International Anti-Corruption Day as an opportunity to thank my Compliance team and everybody who supported us at thyssenkrupp for the great efforts and achievements over the past year.   We are convinced that we cannot afford to slow down on our Compliance activities and take anything for granted. Keeping our business clean is a daily task, not only for the Compliance organization but even more so for all our colleagues and especially management.   Some highlights of our work:   Once again the team executed a worldwide Compliance risk assessment in all of our companies. In workshops with the respective management, we were able to address our Compliance risk landscape while gaining deeper insights into the threats to our business.   We also had our groupwide Compliance Program regarding our five core topics audited externally in accordance with the assurance standard IDW AsS 980. We are very content with the results which are available on our website (https://lnkd.in/eed7r5cC). There were so many more things to highlight like more than 18,000 advice activities, more than 4,800 employees trained in person, thousands of e-learning courses successfully completed and of course quite a number of whistleblowing messages investigated, just to name a part of the daily business that keeps our Compliance colleagues busy.   So again a big thank you to my team and everyone supporting us in this important task.   #IACD #Integrity #values #Compliance #anticorruption

Great presenation from Pr. Stephan Meier about the future of work. Today, i appreciated insights he brought during his lecture in Executive Program at @Columbia Business School. Mainly the fact that: ⭐ Employees are the new customers, ⭐The necessity of switching from a cost reduction to a value creation approach ( with reference to the role of employees as an often neglected lever in Value-Based-Strategy), ⭐In addition to the need of adapting the workplace and leadership style to the tasks to be done (Not the Job to be done) ( Engagaed Coach, being the most appropriate style to deal with todays challenges with flexibility and trust) Columbia Business School Columbia Business School Executive Education #FutureOfWork #HybridWork #Value-Based-Strategy

Embracing diversity and inclusion drives innovation and success.  Therefore, we are engaged in the topic at Hansgrohe Group (see below). On a personal level it might sometimes be difficult to grasp the subject and you might ask yourself what you can do in practical terms. Some impulses for your everyday working life: 👟Put yourself in other people's shoes: Listen to them and show interest in their experiences and needs. 🧐 Consciously include diverse perspectives and experiences in decision-making processes. ✊ Stand up for disadvantaged people. 🤝 Small gestures can make a big difference. Welcome new colleagues, go to lunch with them and support them in settling in.

The employer often asks why the financial expectations are so high. A highly qualified person who has always met their goals in the past could respond, "And why do you drive a premium-class car instead of one of the cheapest cars on the market?" The answer is that a premium car will always reach its destination—and in comfortable conditions.
