OUR PEOPLE: #FUTUREINYOURHANDS 

To navigate successfully into the future, we need motivated employees. With this in mind, we are working intensively on our human resources (HR) strategy to further improve our positioning in this area. From intensifying our culture of collaboration to continued training, diversity, and equal rights, we support our employees and grow together with them. 

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: FUTURE READY

We focus on progress in all our activities and operations throughout the world. Our digital transformation pilot projects are distributed across the globe. They extend from the establishment of digital platforms and innovative learning techniques to dashboards designed for data collection and measurement.   

DIGITAL AND SUSTAINABLE: GLOBAL LEARNING 

Sustainability, digitisation, project management - we promote and support continuous training, because our tasks and responsibilities as a TIC service company are constantly evolving alongside the dynamic environment in which we operate. At the same time, our employees are facing increasingly complex demands. In response, we are working intensively on extending our offer by adding digital learning formats and portals that support self-managed learning (SML), with freely selectable time invested and training intensity.   

The learning landscape, which was expanded in 2022 and is now established worldwide with clear focal points and responsibilities, was further expanded in the 2023 reporting year. In this way, we ensure that our more than 28,000 employees worldwide have the same development and learning opportunities across the board.  

WE FOCUS ON DIVERSITY 

TÜV SÜD advocates for equal opportunities. We signed the German Diversity Charter in 2017, pledging to create a working environment free from prejudice. At TÜV SÜD all people deserve to be appreciated regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or beliefs, physical and mental ability, age, sexual orientation, and identity. To embed these topics even more broadly into our company, we are continually improving our diversity management and promoting employee networks for people wishing to exchange views based on a shared identity or experience and contribute those views to the company.  

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY 

Our goal is to reduce our accident rate (LTIR) to a figure even more close to zero. To meet this target, we perform annual safety instructions, provide personal protective equipment (PPE), and inspect work areas for potential hazards. All our actions are based on our Global Health & Safety Policy, which we adopted in 2017 and which applies worldwide. Over thirty regional health and safety managers work on ensuring safety at the workplace and implementing our health management policies in their regions. We provide a wide range of measures designed to raise our employees’ awareness of a healthy lifestyle, both at work and in their personal lives. Many of these actions extend far beyond the legal requirements.
