10,983 employees: the basis of our success

At Tchibo, it is not enough to just satisfy our customers. We want to inspire them. Yet this can only be achieved through the commitment, experience and expertise of our employees. Every single employee is responsible for the success of the company as a whole. In turn, we take on responsibility for our employees. We strive to ensure that they feel at home in their workplace and stay healthy and motivated.

Many activities, one goal: an inspiring working environment

We foster employees’ identification and solidarity with “their” company by maintaining our corporate culture and encouraging employees to get involved in shaping the company through varied channels. We are dedicated to promoting reconciliation of family and career, investing in safe and healthy workplaces and supporting the education and further training of our employees. Diversity is another important factor for modern companies: Our diverse workforce is a true asset to our company. Tchibo takes a firm stand against discrimination.

Spotlight: flat hierarchies and fast decisions

We rely on long-term action, flat hierarchies and fast decisions. Our employees act as “entrepreneurs within the company” and exhibit a high degree of independence and personal responsibility. Thanks to this attitude, Tchibo employees have made a substantial contribution to successfully implementing our “Stärken stärken 2010” (“Strengthening Strengths”) corporate strategy. As we continue this strategy under the motto “Zukunft braucht Herkunft” (“Building Our Future on Tradition”), our employees now face many new challenges and projects.
