To ensure that GEDIA meets the challenges of today and tomorrow, we are creating jobs and professions for the future and developing new forms of collaboration

As a family-run company, the well-being of our employees is particularly important to us. We offer support in a wide variety of forms, from flexible working hours, attractive social benefits to comprehensive health management. Our goal is to make sure that everyone feels completely comfortable with us. Because that's the only way you can give your best – both professionally and in your private life.

You not only want to experience our headquarters in Attendorn (Germany), but also discover our subsidiaries in Spain, Hungary, Poland, India, Mexico, United States or China? We welcome employees who are interested in short- or long-term assignments abroad in order to get to know our GEDIA processes worldwide, to support colleagues on site and to expand their own intercultural skills.

Flexibility is needed to reconcile work and private life. We can offer our commercial employees this through our attractive flexitime model. Taking into account core working hours and operational requirements, employees can plan the start and end of their working day themselves. The possibility of working remotely also contributes to a better work-life balance.

We are also happy to discuss your desire for part-time employment with you – after all, there are individual life situations in which you need more time for your private life.

Partial retirement enables an age-appropriate transition to retirement – this model not only supports maintaining the ability to work, but also the health of our older colleagues.

30 days of vacation for our full-time employees are a matter of course for us. Vacation days can be planned easily and independently. There are also many types of special leave that give you extra time for special events.

Our health management is constantly dealing with current health issues in order to be able to offer our employees the best possible experience in this area. From a sporting and active balance, to information events on topics such as sleep, stress management or healthy nutrition, there are offers. Health promotion also includes our company sports communities, which meet regularly to run or cycle together. Why don't you join in?

If there is too little time for cooking between work and leisure, our canteen ("EssWerk") offers a delicious selection of discounted meals for our employees and their families every day. A delicious snack is offered by our occasional fruit days.

Drinking is important! Therefore, free water dispensers are available in all plants.

We feel responsible not only for our employees, but also for the families behind them. At this point, the compatibility of family and career is a matter of course for us. This is about more than adjusted working hours:
We are happy to accompany you when you are expecting children, provide you with information and take care of your protection. At regular events for parental leave, we look forward to  meeting your children.
Financial security in old age is becoming increasingly important. That's why we are actively involved in the company pension scheme and subsidize your contribution for the future.

Our trained colleagues will be happy to advise you on personal issues of any kind, such as financial hardship, psychological stress or the need to care for family members. Together you will find individual solutions.

A lived feedback culture, characterized by openness and trust, is a matter of course for us – not only in everyday life, but also in regular development discussions. We see the strengths of our employees and promote talents through appropriate training measures and as part of our talent management program.

We are happy when employees want to continue their private training in order to advance their personal development. Together we are examining how we can support this.

Our managers go through a targeted leadership development program in which they can reflect on their own behavior and prepare for future challenges.

Your performance and commitment deserve fair pay - we pay according to the tariffs of the metal and electrical industry. Of course, holiday and Christmas bonuses as well as all other collectively agreed special payments are part of the annual salary.

"Unique" - that's every one of us. We respect your uniqueness and welcome individual personalities in our company. Where cultural diversity, different genders, generations and stories come together, the most diverse perspectives as well as a wide range of knowledge and skills come together at the same time - that's what makes us successful.

The idea of sustainability concerns us all – privately as well as professionally. To ensure that we are constantly improving in this area, we reflect our position in an annual comprehensive sustainability report (which can be found in the download area). Feel free to read up and convince yourself of the various measures of our concept.

We not only celebrate each of our employees, but also want to celebrate with them! Because we are only "Ready for the next car" because our colleagues show full commitment and give their best every day. As part of a joint Christmas party at the end of the year, we would like to thank you for this.

Joint departmental events are also financially supported – we want to strengthen team spirit and connect employees.

Traditions are also celebrated together: GEDIAners come together in costume at Altweiber. Carnival princes and shooting kings are honored with a gift.

Long-term employees get an extra party – we appreciate long periods of service and therefore regularly invite you to the anniversary celebration.

Through cooperation with local partners, we can offer our GEDIAners attractive discounts – this not only pleases the employees, but also the local businesses, which we support with this. A selection of numerous offers from well-known providers completes our corporate benefits.

Full commitment in everyday work only works in the long term if the conditions are right - ergonomics plays an important role here: A trained colleague will support you in setting up your workplace based on your personal conditions. This is very easy with modern office equipment. If you need workplace glasses, we will be happy to support you financially.

Employees in the productive sector are also equipped with modern and high-quality workwear. To ensure that the private washing machine is not filled with soiled workwear, our subsidised laundry service takes care of the cleaning.

In order to be protected in any work situation, we have a detailed catalogue of protective equipment.

Around 90 trainees and students are on the move in the various specialist departments at GEDIA, working together with qualified trainers and contact persons to achieve their training goals. In total, we offer training in eleven different technical and commercial professions (link).
In our own training workshop, which is equipped with modern machinery and a large training room, there is enough space to prepare for the final exam in the best possible way.
In addition to the technical training, there are other training measures for personal development as well as exciting team events.

Good to know: During the summer holidays, we use our training workshop for the "GEDIAners" of the future - several technology camps take place every year, in which the children and friends of employees get to know their first technical knowledge in the context of exciting projects.
