People & Culture Index
At FIEGE, our vision is to cultivate a people-centric corporate culture. To actively drive this vision, we initiated a pioneering transformation project two years ago, completely revamping and enhancing our Human Resources function: People & Culture.
At the heart of this transformation is our People & Culture Index. This index measures and guides our cultural transformation, signalling our commitment to a modern, future-proof and people-centric corporate culture.
The People & Culture Index enables us to quantify our achievements. Through regular self-assessments across all FIEGE units, we gain valuable insights that inform measures aimed at enhancing both satisfaction and commitment over the long term. Additionally, another FIEGE unit will conduct a review to ensure consistency and transparency.
Outlook
Through target group-oriented recruiting measures, we want to strengthen our U30 workforce in particular.
Despite a challenging economic environment, we are striving to maintain the employment rate of permanent employees.

Talent development – identifying and promoting talent
At FIEGE, development is not a matter of chance; it is a strategic outcome. Our talent development process is designed to support employees who wish to advance their careers intentionally. In 2024, we launched this approach internationally, enabling us to identify and actively support a significant number of talented individuals.
What does this support look like in detail?
In a structured development review, we jointly define targeted positions for each individual.
Personal strengths are highlighted, and based on these insights, tailored development plans are created to address future challenges and align with the targeted positions.
The pathway: By combining practical training, personalised support and purposeful mentoring – guided by the proven 70-20-10 learning model – we facilitate a smooth transition into daily work routines.
