Daimler Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Employees / Workforce / Employee satisfaction
Employee satisfaction
Daimler regularly conducts employee surveys at all of its plants and other locations. In November 2007, we also
carried out the Global Employee Commitment Survey (GECS) for the second time since 2006. This survey uses a
uniform method to obtain a representative worldwide sample that reflects employees’ commitment to, and
identification with, the company. It also measures employees’ satisfaction with their work situation and leaders,
as well as their familiarity with the Corporate Values and compliance regulations. Special attention in this ethicallegal
area was paid to feedback from executive managers.
Employee commitment is measured through the HR Scorecard system, with values ranging from 0 to 100. The
Employee Commitment Index (ECI) value of 58 from the latest survey (2007/2008) indicates a relatively
homogenous result, which nevertheless corresponds to the average in external comparisons. Results of the
survey section on satisfaction with the work and leadership situation were generally positive.
