Dear Sibylle, you have been Chair of the Works Council for two years now. What were the topics that have kept you busy since then?
Securing and maintaining jobs is our top priority
That is why we are also focusing on the issue
of qualification for everyone.
With Winning with people, this is also one of the employers' priorities.
Our focus here is to equip all and
I mean really all employees
from production, GBS or medicine
for the future and thus to ensure long-term employability.
How did you personally feel about the changes of the last 2-3 years?
The work of the works council members
and of the shop stewards is characterized by personal direct contact.
Of course, this has changed
significantly in recent years because of mobile working.
But I think we've done well as a company
with the current mix of online meetings
and face-to-face contacts.
And the colleagues who are able to work mobile
appreciate the flexibility.
Is there something you were particularly happy about?
We have concluded many agreements
with the employer.
One highlight is that we have extended the medical health check "Fit in Life"
to the under-40s.
For this, I would also like to thank our occupational medicine and HR. It can save lives.
And of course, I am very pleased that we are finally
getting the bicycle leasing via mein-dienstrad.de
This was a great concern of many colleagues.
