Social

For us, creating a good work-life balance also means thinking about the work-family balance of our employees. Numerous part-time jobs in production and administration, for example, enable employees to meet the demands of family and career in equal measure, whether for reasons of childcare or caring for relatives. We also provide support with other special offers such as:

• Flexible working hours (flexitime, part-time models)
• Mobile working
• Special vacations
• Discounts on events and shopping activities

As a logical consequence of our open attitude to diversity within the company, equal opportunities are a top priority at METZ CONNECT. Respectful and responsible interaction with one another is just as much a part of our corporate culture as protection against any form of discrimination and the promotion of inclusion. People with mobile disabilities have been part of the core workforce at METZ CONNECT for years.

We invest in the future by investing in qualified specialists and training them ourselves. Young people can start their careers here in the areas of development, design, production, commissioning and a variety of business and administrative-technical professions. The dual vocational training model has a long tradition in the company. The training spectrum includes, for example, dual courses of study in electrical engineering, media informatics or mechanical engineering production technology. In addition to attending university, students complete their practical phases at the company locations in Blumberg, Hungary, the USA or China. This gives students their first taste of the working world in other countries.

Regular placements with good to very good results in the final examinations are proof of the recognized high quality of METZ CONNECT training. The prospective specialists are offered excellent and secure career prospects with a promise of employment on successful completion of their training. This enables them to actively shape the rapidly growing market for building and energy management and, together with us, make a valuable and meaningful contribution to sustainability in their daily work. In addition, we offer employees from the technical areas with suitable qualifications the opportunity to obtain professional qualifications alongside their work (e.g. machine and plant operator, electrician, process mechanic).

METZ CONNECT offers its employees modern workplace conditions with mobile working, flex-time and working time accounts. Mobile working allows employees to perform their work outside of the company using mobile devices, as far as their job allows. Throughout the company, we ensure optimal working conditions with high standards of occupational health and safety. By promoting new technologies such as building and energy management and entering the market as a provider of system solutions, we are increasing our attractiveness as a safe employer through future-oriented fields of activity.

We have invested in a comprehensive development program to provide our employees with the best possible support throughout the company. Our Metz training catalog provides employees with a varied platform for company training and further education. All employees throughout the company have access to the Metz training catalog, which includes traditional classroom training and e-learning applications as well as external training in all relevant areas of expertise. We also provide employees with individual training measures. We specifically promote talent within the company with our own development plans.

With regard to the systematic promotion of junior managers, we have been working with an external management trainer for many years. Both in group training sessions and, if required, in individual coaching sessions, our future managers are purposefully and systematically introduced to their new tasks. In addition to the specialist learning modules, practical projects from day-to-day operations are worked on here, which also offer innovative problem-solving approaches for operational challenges.
