People are at the center of everything we do. This is why we seek to create a corporate culture in which all employees feel valued and which cultivates innovativeness based on similarities as well as differences. We foster global perspectives, networking, and the sharing of experiences. At BSH, we promote talents and support continuous learning. Our employees take the ownership of their career according to their abilities and interests. With We LEAD BSH we consciously create a company culture where people are able to unfold their potential and can bring their whole self to work. Violeta Kameri, Transformation Enabler & Topic Owner We LEAD BSH OUR CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY We see the way we lead ourselves, others and our business as the basis for our success, that is why we have implemented a set of principles called “We LEAD BSH”. These value-based principles can be seen as a set of guiding practices and behaviors that everyone acts upon, to create a company culture in which everyone can give their best, grow personally and professionally and finally fulfill our shared purpose “We improve quality of life at home”. WE CELEBRATE INNOVATION AND LEARNING Innovation does not just happen, it needs to be nurtured and fostered within the working environment. At BSH, we are committed to an interdisciplinary approach in international teams and use state-of-the-art working methods. We believe that creating an inspiring and trusting environment where people can grow and ideas can thrive is key to our business success. This encourages our employees to transform ideas into innovative and user-centric appliances, services, and experiences. WE BELIEVE IN A FEEDBACK CULTURE It does not matter if you are just starting your career or if you are working on an executive level: we can always improve ourselves and learn from others. Giving and receiving feedback is an essential element of this. Here at BSH, we foster a feedback culture on every level of the company with a variety of tools and trainings. For example, with the training “Feedback is a gift” we raise awareness about the importance of feedback, practice how to give and seek good feedback and learn how to incorporate feedback in our daily live. WE COMMUNICATE OPENLY ACROSS ALL LEVELS Committed and satisfied employees are at the heart of a successful company. This is why we maintain a constant dialog with all our employees. For example, we conduct on a regular basis employee survey as a central way to listen to our employees, which is the starting point for a good communication. Additional feedback tools, such as our Feedback Explorer or a Feedback Express Workshop also promote mutual open dialog. WE’RE FOCUSING ON RESULTS, NOT EGOS While individual ideas and skills are important for success, we know that no single person can do everything on their own. We will always be stronger as a team that puts the success of the project before their own benefit.
