This works well in the company
Very friendly interaction, which is lived at eye level across the hierarchy levels. Great leadership culture, which is courageously promoted with the attempt to take as many people as possible along and to give the space in which the individual can get involved.
Strong effort to live sustainability in all aspects - also beyond the company boundaries in the entire supply chain.
Beautiful offices and meeting rooms, for many functions the possibility for home office.
Location in the immediate vicinity of the Rheinacher Heide, many employees use their lunch break for sports (running, outdoor pool). There are regular interesting health offers and a large number of further training courses.
Further plus points:
* Employee representation at the site, which is highly appreciated by GL
* Many social benefits above the legal level (paid leave before birth, sabbatical, free time instead of salary, discounted purchase of products)
* Offer of further training, which also includes personality development
The pension system has been modernised to cater for all age groups.
This could be improved
No hot catering at present. However, a canteen is available with a decent outdoor seating area for the summer, a supply from Felfelel and the possibility of warming up food and lunch in the surrounding area.

This works well in the company
Innovation, high quality and product variety today represent the necessary potential that many customers expect, Weleda meets all these requirements.
This could be improved
I was able to work for a company that cultivates ginseng panax and produces cosmetics on this basis, so my interest in innovation lies in the manufacturing process.
