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

<strong>Daimler</strong> Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2008 / Employees / Activities and goals<br />

Activities and goals<br />

Our responsibility as an employer: Acitivities and goals<br />

As a globally operating automotive Group, we are active in an international marketplace that presents a broad<br />

spectrum of challenges. We have to act, for example, in the best interests of our more than 272,000 employees<br />

worldwide, who are committed to our company and have invested their trust in <strong>Daimler</strong> as an employer.<br />

The development of our workforce is a key element for <strong>Daimler</strong> – and we invest in it on a grand scale. If we<br />

succeed in further developing our employees’ skills and intercultural and personal expertise in line with our<br />

needs and with the trends of the future, we will remain competitive and successful.<br />

One important area of activity for <strong>Daimler</strong> as an employer is diversity, which must be dealt with in an<br />

unprejudiced – and thus productive – manner. Another one involves the challenges arising from demographic<br />

change, where we are adopting a more targeted approach to the different age groups in our workforce (age<br />

management). In addition, as an employer, <strong>Daimler</strong> also has a special responsibility for occupational health and<br />

safety.
