When people pull together, they can make a big difference in the

workplace To ensure this, they need a pronounced community

feeling and have to feel good in their everyday working life Neither

can be prescribed or bought, however Only practised values create

the conditions for a functioning community Festo, a family com-

pany, offers all employees ideal working conditions in a culture

where values are appreciated

Flexible and motivated

The individual teams at the Technology Plant enjoy personal free-

dom within defined guidelines. Product quality, customer orienta-

tion, delivery reliability and cost optimisation form overriding plant

objectives and represent key indicators for all areas As part of the

community, the individual teams take interfaces with other depart-

ments into account In this way the factory as a whole is able to

react faster to customer needs

Open communication

put it another way: when people share information and are well

contribution of every member of the workforce is important to

ensure a continuous increase in productivity at the Technology

Plant Sophisticated training concepts allow individual support

measures and personnel development

to warm and darker light. If artificial light is needed – for instance

before dawn and after dusk, in case of dull weather or in winter –

Values, culture and community
