HENSOLDT Germany – Strengthening societal engagement

Communities such as non-profit organizations, charities and public institutions are vastly contributing to our society.

We at HENSOLDT support their work by sponsoring initiatives like “Aktion 100 000” in Ulm or donating to charities like “Rowing against cancer” as well as by encouraging our employees to engage in voluntary work like supporting the facilities at “Lebenshilfe” and to share their expertise.

We also support the local organisations close to our sites world-wide to foster the communities around us.

Education gives us the knowledge necessary to understand the world around us. We at HENSOLDT want to excite young people for education especially in the fields of science, engineering and mathematics. Therefore we regularly engage in initiatives like “Girls’ Day”, the scholar competition “Invent a Chip”, “Jugend forscht” and also support local educational institutions.

Additionally, we offer internships and graduate programmes for young people. At HENSOLDT, innovation emerges from our people and the right mix of diverse individuals working collaboratively and inclusively according to their strengths, unleashing creativity and passion by what they do.

We invest in a culture of collaboration and diversity and thus encourage our employees to share their knowledge and experience with young talents.

We take responsibility for our employees – for their safety and their future success. Therefore, at each of our sites we have a strict work safety concept in place, which we train und update regularly. In addition, we offer social counselling and health programs, such as fitness and preventive health courses.

The basis for our company’s success are our highly trained and skilled employees, ranging from our engineers, to our colleagues in operations and central functions. We help our employees to identify their strengths, to target their competences for a tailored personal development in terms of direction and pace and to keep their employability. From on-boarding, through a continuous training and development plan, we offer diverse solutions, adapted to individual needs and always keep our employees up-to date through continuous internal communications.

Our management takes care to get feedback from our employees on a regular basis in open meetings on our sites, to be able to improve our ways of working. We also see it in our responsibility to foster diversity and integration via special business networks.
