In collaboration with Caritas , VERBUND contributes to alleviating energy poverty in Austria, and along with Diakonie social welfare work, VERBUND supports persons who are dependent on assisting technologies in order to communicate. It is our aim to handle the subject of disabilities and accessibility beyond what is required by legal provisions and regulations. Employees Qualified and motivated staff form the basis for our success. The best qualifications, personal commitment and identification with the corporate goals and principles are the distinguishing marks of our employees. We offer all employees individual opportunities for development and good future prospects. It is our goal to adapt working conditions to the respective life situations of the employees to make an appropriate balance between work and private life possible. Through this work-life balance we aim to attain long-term cooperation. Loyalty to the company is important to us. This also includes constructive criticism, which we express openly and in an appropriate form within the company. We work together with all people without regard to gender, age, religion, culture, skin colour, education, social background, sexual orientation or nationality. We take steps to prevent every form of discrimination, mobbing and sexual molestation. Leadership competence is an essential prerequisite for corporate success. The cornerstones are professional and social competence, open and direct communication, clear and unbureaucratic decision-making structures, constructive criticism and willingness for innovation.
