Social Contribution

We want to maintain our position as attractive employer and offer our employees a safe and appealing working environment. As part of our annual satisfaction survey among all employees, we determine the GRENKE Engagement Score. It measures the employee satisfaction, summariseing the results from the areas “commitment”, “identification and retention”, and “overall satisfaction with the company” in a score.

We want to attract, promote and retain the best employees - regardless of culture, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical/mental abilities, faith, political convictions, age or experience. By signing the Diversity Charter, we commit to Diversity as fundamental building block of our organisational structure.

We promote a good work-life balance through flexible working time models and attractive remuneration.

• Support in Special Life Time Situations: We support employees in challenging life phases. The programme allows employees to reduce working hours to 80 percent for up to two months at full pay
• Welcome Newborn: We offer all new parents the opportunity to reduce their working hours to 75 per cent for the first six weeks after the birth at full pay.

Company Bike: We enable our employees to lease tax-privileged bicycles and eBikes in order to make the option of climate-friendly commuting more attractive.

Care costs: We contribute to the care costs for young children and relatives in need of care of our employees. We grant a monthly allowance of EUR 250 per dependent relative. Families also receive a childcare allowance of EUR 250 for the first child up to school age. For the second child, EUR 125 are granted, and EUR 50 for each additional child.

Trainings provide new know-how for our company and promote innovative strength, performance and willingness as well as job satisfaction of our employees. By offering a wide range of training opportunities tailored to individual needs, we enable continuous qualification and personal development.

We want to offer the best possible training conditions for a individual and needs-oriented development of our trainees and students. For our commitment to vocational trainings, we were ranked in the category "Germany's Best Training Company" for the fifth consecutive time by the business magazine Capital in 2022.

We promote the well-being of our employees and ensure that their workplaces are safe. A prerequisite for safety-conscious behaviour is to inform employees about hazards at their workplace and to promote safety-conscious behavior. In line with the increase in remote work, we have added content on occupational health and safety and the use of remote work to our range of training courses.

We unconditionally respect human rights. Within our compliance management, rules for equal treatment, anti-discrimination and respect for human rights are defined in our code of conduct, as well as in the internal and external guidelines and policies applied. In this way, we also improve our ability to receive and respond to complaints from employees and external persons.
