18 EMPLOYEES High Heels Logistics Autoportret When at the beginning of the twentieth century suffragettes began to fight for women’s rights, nobody could expect that there will be business areas in which women will be able to compete with men on the same terms. Today, the equality of gender rights is a standard in Europe, but still women in senior positions, working in industries dominated by men, are rare. However, it does not apply to Raben Group. Here nearly 200 women occupy leading positions in the company by managing large teams, taking strategic decisions and controlling huge budgets. SvEtlaNa SHYPIL, Raben Ukraine, International Distribution Director My professional career in Raben Ukraine started more than 6 years ago from the position of Groupage Shipment Specialist in the International Distribution Department. At that time the company had just started conquering the market of logistics services but already managed to establish itself as a strong business partner. Back in 2005 there were less than 30 Employees in the company, and now – more than 600. To grow and move forward with the company was an invaluable experience for me. Working in a fast growing organization required great responsibility, dedication and enthusiasm from all – be it a manager or a specialist. I believe that good results can be only achieved by working together. I would say that I am lucky because I work with people who not only support me but whom I can trust. We can achieve a lot with such a team! < 18 > Meet the women from different Raben companies who develop their career in our Group. Their common feature is the passion, commitment and... work in Raben Group. EDINa vaNka, Raben Trans European Hungary, Customers Service Manager I started work at the logistics company in 2002, after my studies, as a Warehouse Administrator. As I wanted to improve my qualifications and knowledge, I started studying management. In 2006, through internal recruitment, I moved to the Customer Service Department where, after 3 years, I got the position of Service Manager of one of the key Customers. My motto is to set intermediate targets for myself, in order to achieve those, that seem to be really difficult to achieve.But this is of course the future. I would like to start a family and experience the joy of maternity. Sometimes it is really hard to combine everything but I believe it is worth it. StEFaNIa BONDOS, Raben Polska, Regional Director When I started work in Raben Polska, the dilemma of combining the career with the care for children was already behind me because my daughter was already adult. However, there were still open questions such as equal pay, promotion opportunity or the issue of “women 40+” at work. In all these aspects I have had some positive experiences. Despite the fact that many different changes have taken place in the Group, the company policy towards employed women is constant. I am verification on the basis of professional tasks and achievements of the branch and the region I manage. I have never had the feeling that my gender has a negative impact on my career development or on achieving the objectives. Joanna Więckowska Marketing & Communication Manager Raben Management Services Raben Group values its Employees for their professionalism, commitment and competence above all - regardless of gender and age. What is important these days, the company supports women who want to develop professionally while not neglecting their personal lives.
EMPLOYEES Warehouse without warehouse Workers could never work I remember the first time when I was inside a warehouse. I saw a huge amount of goods stored on endless shelves of which forklifts were going to and from. At first glance it seemed like chaos. In fact it was a professionally managed warehouse, where each product had its place and every movement of goods was carefully planned. and how does the usual day of warehouse Workers look like in practice? “Every day we receive a list of goods from Customers which have to be prepared for transport and sent to a final destination. In this process I control the goods on pallets before picking processes and delivering them to Customers” describes Rita Marosi, a warehouse worker in Dunaharaszti, Hungary and continues “logistics warehouse is dedicated to long-term storage of different kinds of goods. You can find high storage racks there. For better orientation the rack and shelf spaces have their own numbers and codes and all these data is stored in the warehouse management system. As a result, we can very easily navigate the seemingly complex environment and handle goods efficiently.” Apart from logistics warehouses you can also find the so-called cross-docks in Raben Group. This is a kind of a “transfer station” for the shipments going from one destination to another. It allows for transport of goods in the shortest possible time. Products are not stored there which helps to reduce costs throughout the whole supply chain. It requires synchronization of all processes from the entry to the exit of goods.”In general this means covering the whole range of operations starting from acceptance of goods, placing on < 19 > relevant cross-dock section, picking and carrying to relevant locations” describes Yuriy Luzan, from Raben Group´s branch in Kiev (Ukraine). “The whole organization in the warehouse is possible thanks to the Voice Picking system. In a voice directed warehouse workers confirm their tasks by speaking pre-defined commands and reading confirmation codes printed on locations or products with the help of WMS system. All of this is much more effective than working with paper documents and the we’ve noticed less mistakes and the increase of effectiveness of our work” adds Yuriy Luzan. Work in the warehouse is not only about simply moving goods from one part of the warehouse to another. “Before getting down to work in the modern warehouse Raben Group has at its disposal, everyone is obliged to attend several kinds of trainings and courses.” - explains Karolis Astrauskas, a warehouse employee in Vilnius and continues - “We use different kinds of modern IT systems. Additionally, if you want to drive a forklift you must pass an exam. I´ve also learned that work in the warehouse is also team work. Communication with colleagues allows me to plan my daily duties better.” Sławek Kaniuk from Fresh Logistics in Poland emphasizes that work in the warehouse means being resistant to stress and striving to achieve the goals. Then working in the warehouse can be really a nice experience for everyone. In Raben Group almost 4,000 People are involved in warehouse operations, which is a half of all Employees in the Group. What do warehouse Workers like most about their job? Karolis answers without hesitation “What I appreciate most is the fact that I work for an employer who provides reliable and secure job and this is what Raben Group does.” Functioning in modern logistics companies depends on many factors. In those competitive times investments in buildings, modern IT solutions, warehouse management systems or even in fleet are necessary. However, even the best equipment cannot replace people. Without warehouse Employees even the biggest logistics company could not function. Therefore, the next time when the favourite products are bought in a shop, please remember about the warehouse workers.
