Around 80 employees experienced the new we at Bischof+Klein at the culture workshop conducted at Hof Schlamann. “It’s incredible how you are all taking part and getting involved in something new,” enthused Head of Market Segment Carsten Boße, member of the core cultural transformation team.

Honest dialogue on an equal footing without reservations, lots of specific examples, and new ideas for implementing our values built up great momentum. “I’ve been at Bischof+Klein for 38 years,” said Ismayil Balaman from the Logistics department, “but I’ve never experienced anything like this. I’m optimistic and would love to change things!”

CEO Dr. Tobias Lührig and Dr. Rebekka Skubinn, Head of the Human Resources department, emphasized how important this is in a sketch. Their message: “New processes and tools aren’t enough. Each and every individual has to feel that it is down to him or her personally.”

With this conviction, the participants went their separate ways after two inspiring days. CSO Erik Edelmann: “What is important now is that we transport the energy that we have felt here into our daily work and infect others with it.” 

Since then, a variety of activities have arisen that convincingly and rousingly convey our new values and the new WE: workshops with values puzzle, departmental meetings regarding the “value of the week,” an artistically designed values wall, mini-workshops on cross-departmental cooperation, videos with personal statements on the cultural transformation, and facilitator workshops are just a few examples.

Step by step, an increasing number of employees are being involved. The objective is for them to be familiarized with the new corporate culture at various events and, above all, to experience the new WE in their day-to-day work.
