Qualification

For this purpose, the company is currently investing more in hardware and technology in order to provide employees with the necessary technical infrastructure. In 2021, a guideline on the subject of "working from home" was drawn up to provide employees with guidance on their rights and obligations in this context.

We pay wages in the industrial sector in accordance with the applicable collective agreement negotiated by IG Metall. In addition, there is a bonus consisting of a qualitative and a quantitative component. These components also exist for managers, who negotiate these targets individually in their annual appraisals.

GSC criterion: qualification

We value our employees and place a high value on low staff turnover. We want to retain know-how by increasingly filling positions internally. That is why we offer both horizontal and vertical training opportunities. In this context, we coordinate the needs in individual annual appraisals, taking into account the personal goals of the individual.

We offer training contracts in which employees are subsidised and partially released for on-the-job studies.

Health management in practice is a matter of course for us, not least with regard to our overarching topic of healthy living. In addition to the legally required regulations, we employ an external company doctor, for example, who also attends the ASA meetings. A strong focus is placed on operational integration management. In the long term, we would like to purchase height-adjustable desks for all employees to prevent back problems. In the industrial sector, there are also ergonomic lifting aids.

Demographic change is a relevant challenge for Parador. The average age of our employees is currently 44.09.

We currently offer training in twelve different occupations. Our very strong trainee ratio of 7.2 % and the high retention rate illustrate the importance that Parador attaches to young talent. For us, qualified junior staff are crucial to being able to master the challenges of demographic change in the long term.

In addition, we raise awareness of demographic change by providing all managers with annual overviews of our employees' regular scenarios.

In this way, preferred versions of retirement can also be agreed with employees in good time (planning goes up to 2027).

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the face-to-face meetings with supervisors for all employees and the investments in height-adjustable desks on all office workstations have not yet been able to be implemented. We are working flat out to implement both issues soon.
