Enjoying success!
In the course of the VDMA action week “WIR UNTERNEHMEN WAS”, under the patronage of the Minister of Economics Sigmar Gabriel, Kurtz Ersa invited the press to a discussion in Hasloch in mid-September. The main topic was: “Employee binding and development”.
Kurtz Ersa wants to keep growing healthily – for which it needs employees who pull along and enjoy doing their job. In brief: the company has to go down well with its employees. This is why the company actively involves its employees in decision processes and provides its own concept for personnel development. An important pillar in employee development is the apprenticeship with which the company trains the next generation of expert workers.
More than 20 job descriptions are up for choice – from an industrial mechanic through to mechatronic engineer. The broad range pays its way, the apprenticeship quota has been above ten per cent for years – with more than 100 apprentices to be counted at Kurtz Ersa at the moment. More than ever before! The fact that the quality of the training is right can be proven: regularly, Kurtz Ersa apprentices are awarded prizes. Talents – be it an apprentice or a regular employee – are actively supported at Kurtz Ersa, targets are agreed and prospects explored at regular employee discussions, in-house careers are the order of the day.
Tradition and technology leadership
Kurtz Ersa is an attractive employer in the Main-Spessart region, offering its employees 235 years of tradition, technology leadership plus international alignment on the one hand. On the other hand, it stakes on flexible working hour models, success premiums, social payments and extensive training and further training!
In future, the company wants to extend its degree of popularity even further, in order to come into the focus of engineers and programmers even more. Last year, that already worked very well: 70 new employees joined, with a total of 110 new jobs being offered in 2014. “We are doing a good job, but it has to be a pleasure as well. And if there’s something to celebrate, we celebrate it together”, CEO Rainer Kurtz puts it very concisely.
