Perspectives

Individualised Job Training Programmes

Finding one’s way around in a new job is not so easy at first. In order to make the start in our company easier, each new employee is given an individualized job training plan. It guides the employee in the first phase and helps him or her to quickly get up to speed on tasks, internal processes and procedures.

In the framework of multi-departmental introductory events, new employees get to know colleagues from other departments and start to build their own networks. Through systematic training on the job, new employees get a personalized introduction to the project landscape. This method has proven itself in the past as the most effective and successful way. All project related activity is supported by colleagues and management as well as by qualifying training events.

Career/Development Opportunities/Continuing Training

For an innovation-oriented company such as Volke, continuous professional and personal development of our employees and management is an important contribution to ensure our long-term competitiveness.

Only someone who knows where he´s knows what to do for the next step. For that reason our management personnel take time in feedback discussions to clarify with their employees where their strengths, weaknesses and potential for development lie. In the annual employee review, the work performed is evaluated in conversation with the superior, and the goals and measures for continued development are defined. These can include training on-or off the job, seminars and classes, but also the acceptance of new areas of responsibility.

Corporate Culture

New developments need people who think without boundaries and work together to advance the right ideas. This only works with clear structures, levelled hierarchies and in constant dialogue.

And this is why we highly value…

Personal responsibility

Skilled, engaged and personally responsible employees build the foundation of our success. The way we treat each other here is characterized by respect and trust.

Sustainable Quality

With extraordinary quality, best service and competitive prices we secure satisfied customers.

Stability

We maintain sustainable, legally correct and mutually trusting relationships with our customers and partners.

Conscientiousness

We conserve the environment through conscientious use of resources and avoiding harmful effects on the environment.

Innovation

Through high skill and constantly increasing know-how of our employees, we constantly open up new fields of activity in an innovative environment.

Management Culture

The dedication of our employees, their personal and professional knowledge and their special skills are our most important capital. They shape Volke and our image with customers and business partners. For that reason mutual trust, an open management and communication style form the basis for effective collaboration.

We make our decide, based on practical experience, which skills and what knowledge are important today and will be in the future, promote the professional development of our employees and thus secure our own competitiveness.

Benefits

Retirement Provision

Volke offers its employees the state-subsidized professional pension provision (bAV). Some advantages can be attained through conversion of compensation. Along with the savings on taxes and social benefits contributions, the amounts can be flexibly adapted to your personal situation (part time, parental leave, etc.).

Health and Wellness

We value the health of our employees. For this reason we offer free influenza vaccinations and regular preventative check-ups with our company doctor.

Flexible Work Schedule

Flex-Time Models

The balance between work and private life is the deciding factor for life satisfaction and professional performance. The employees and the company both profit when it’s managed well. For that reason Volke considers it a key responsibility to look into the life stages and needs of its employees and offering appropriate solutions.

These include among other things different flex-time models such as reduction of working hours to part-time, starting during or after parental leave or if needed release time for care of family members or for continuing education.

Flex-time Programs

Flexibility in working hours has become an indispensable part of today’s working world. It’s not just employers who are demanding flexibility from their employees, dedication and greater motivation, the employees also would like more freedom in arranging their working hours in order to be able to better balance work and family.

Along with the contractually agreed upon 35h/week, Volke offers its employees flexible scheduling of working hours (flex-time program). Within a prescribed range from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, hour employees have the option of arranging their working hours as they wish and adapting them to their personal needs. Transparent systems provide an overview of the flex-time and holiday time accounts. Whether overtime will be taken in the form of free time or overtime pay is up to the employee.
