Management Report / Human Resources / 37<br />
A decisive factor here is the recruitment of new management staff for the direct sales organisations. New<br />
growth perspectives can only be exploited if it is also possible in the future to acquire our own management<br />
personalities for sales activities. Vorwerk attaches great importance to cooperation based on trust and open<br />
communication across all divisions and hierarchies. Respect and fairness in dealing with one another are<br />
core values of the family-owned company. The family-friendly personnel policy is reflected both in the<br />
nurturing of the “work-life balance” for staff with various – sometimes quite individual – solutions as well<br />
as in the flexible working time schedules. Staff desires and requirements are taken seriously. Their satisfaction<br />
is evaluated regularly in an international employee survey.<br />
