Continental AG

As a driver of innovation, Continental is on the leading edge of technology. This kind of top position can only have a sound basis if the people who stand behind this company have the opportunity to develop their ideas in an environment that inspires and motivates. An environment characterized by competence, cooperation and progress. Worldwide. We call this “corporate spirit”. Deciding factors for this corporate spirit are: 

• A culture of high performance
  This is what drives the actions of each individual and all teams worldwide. At Continental you can expect more, because everyone expects more from themselves.
• Striving for the best
  Each individual on their own is responsible for not simply accepting second best.
• Cooperation and teamwork
  Flat hierarchic levels, open-mindedness and respect characterize our work as a part of a worldwide network.
• Responsibility and management
  Executives should lead cooperatively and encourage individual responsibility.And everyone must be willing to be measured by his or her own actions.
• Learning and knowledge management
  Our employees believe in the principles behind learning throughout their lifetime. We provide access to knowledge at every level of our company.

A balanced relationship between professional and personal life not only helps to reduce stress for an individual. It in itself is what greases the wheels for a company’s long-term economic success. Active, fit and motivated employees are the prerequisite for a “healthy”, a better company.

So, the intention of Continental’s activities in this area are by no means altruistic. Everyone benefits from a balance between work and life. It is the basis for creating a classic win-win situation. And, the programs we offer to this end are just as extensive and varied. For example:

• Sports events such as the international Conti-Running-Day
• Wellness events for health topics
• Culture weeks for defined countries with events and activities to match
• Networks for certain interest groups
• Programs for parent leave
• Children’s day care
• Social services

A company that does business on a world stage simply must have a multicultural mindset. For Continental, this is more than a basic condition. It is our opportunity to expand entrepreneurial perspectives and in doing so to participate in international markets up close and “from the inside out”.  

This is one reason why individuals from all nationalities are welcomed by us, irrespective of their age, gender, origin, sexual orientation or bodily impairment. Decisive is only the applicant’s skills and potential. Equal qualifications are required from all. A selection is made based on an objective qualitative evaluation only.
