But this was not only about sharing the results but also about having the opportunity to appreciate the strengths of HAVI Logistics and understand the areas where we need to improve.

All of this took place against the background of achieving a better understanding and appreciation of how much employee commitment and motivation matter and to what extent they are influenced by our behavior. The members of management spent a considerable amount of time identifying the issues which we, as a team, need to address. This is why this year' motto was: “Team Spirit Inside.” same for the construction of the McDonald's Food Town in Rheinhausen – with the same spade!
