<strong>Daimler</strong> 360 GRAD - FAKTEN zur Nachhaltigkeit 2008<br />

<strong>Daimler</strong> Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Employees / Workforce / Flexible use of human resources<br />

Flexible use of human resources<br />

Thanks to many tools that promote flexibility, <strong>Daimler</strong> can react to fluctuations in demand <strong>by</strong> increasing or<br />

decreasing its human resources capacities without having to adjust its core workforce. These tools include a<br />

variety of worktime models, employee delegation via “Dmove” (an internal personnel exchange system), and the<br />

hiring of employees with limited-term contracts. Another tool is provided <strong>by</strong> flexible approaches to organizing<br />

worktime. The number of part-time employees at the Group’s German locations has decreased: A total of 8,006<br />

employees (2006: 8,299) – in other words, 5.2 percent of the total workforce (2006: 5.4 percent) – worked parttime<br />

in 2007.<br />

Workforce capacity requirements at the plants are subject to variation. In order to react to fluctuations in a<br />

versatile manner, the Group has agreed with the General Works Council on the “Safeguarding the Future 2012”<br />

program for regulating the number of temporary workers at German plants, with an upper limit of 2,500.<br />

Temporary workers receive the same basic hourly wage as permanent employees.
