Culture & Leadership

As a global technology company, our organization unites individuals from diverse nationalities, backgrounds, and unique worldviews. Despite these differences, we are all sharing the passion and goal to work for a sustainable future and deliver the right solutions to our customers. To be successful in what we do, we emphasize individual and organizational development. We establish a culture of dialogue and collaboration in which we set clear goals and give clear responsibilities. The ownership of all our employees in this environment is key to our success and to drive innovation.  

Beyond this, our culture WE@HeraeusElectronics reflects our shared values of respect and appreciation for all individuals. We believe that a diversified and inclusive workplace where every voice is heard and can contribute makes us as individuals more content and our organization more successful. 

Diversity and inclusion are a focus in our organization because we strongly believe that our differences and the diversity of thought in our teams are one of our biggest strengths. By considering different perspectives and following a 360° approach when it comes to problem solving or decision making, we can achieve a better overall outcome and result. To benefit from our diversity we need an inclusive work environment with high psychological safety and a strong feedback and learning culture. 

The unique contributions of all our employees combined with an open space for open minds is what accelerates our future. 

Your uniqueness is what makes us complete. 

The Heraeus Leadership Model is the basis for our Leadership culture at Heraeus. It addresses four pillars – business success, the organization, people and each individual. Consequently, it is not only a guideline for managers but also for all of our employees as we believe that everyone’s contribution and ownership is what drives the business and makes us as an organization successful. 

Heraeus Electronics also implemented the Team Effectiveness Framework. It emphasizes a culture of ownership and consists of four different dimensions with the following focus areas:  

• Direction: Clear communication of strategy and goals are important to ensure commitment and goal achievement.

• Structure: Clear roles and responsibilities enable effective decision making at the right level. At the same time adequate resources, processes and tools are ensured. 

• Connection: Open and honest dialogue where everyone´s voice is heard ensure strong relationships and trustful communication that is a basis for an inclusive environment. 

• Effectiveness: Adequate team capabilities are constantly developed and extended to ensure performance and goal achievement. 

Our leaders are key to bringing this framework to life in our day-to-day business and to lay the foundation for high performance of their teams and the organization as a whole.
