The Mercedes-Benz Group is in the midst of a transformation towards locally emission-free and networked mobility. This transformation affects not only products, technologies and business models. It also affects the corporate culture and the entire workforce: Working processes and structures are changing just as fundamentally as employee tasks, job profiles and cooperation within the Mercedes-Benz Group.
A total of 168,797 employees1 around the world are using their skills, innovation and dedication to help ensure that the Group can successfully overcome the associated
challenges.Together with them and their essential motivation as well as willingness to change, this transformation is a huge opportunity for a sustainably successful company. The Mercedes-Benz Group’s goal here is to shape the necessary changes for its employees in a responsible, socially acceptable and future-oriented way.
The human resources strategy adopted 2021 supports the Mercedes-Benz Group in meeting the special challenges and requirements of the personnel transformation.
The Mercedes-Benz Group therefore also invests continuously in qualification measures for its employees and recruits new staff whose qualification profiles will be needed in the future. In order to attract such employees and retain them for the long term, the Mercedes-Benz Group takes measures to create an attractive and future-oriented working environment for its employees, among other ways by offering them modern and flexible forms of work that it continuously enhances. Particularly in challenging times such as those we now live in, respectful and trust-based cooperation between the workforce and the management is extremely important. The Mercedes-Benz Group therefore promotes a diverse and inclusive corporate and management culture.
The Group also wants to make possible a safe and healthy working environment.
