General

At Gamma Holding, human resource management is shaped both centrally and locally. Within the company the focus is on quality and continuity. This is reflected, for example, in a dedicated management development policy that offers employees scope for personal development. There is also a uniform remuneration policy for the management of all business units. Moreover, bonus systems for the senior executives are drawn up centrally and are based not only on the financial targets of the operating company, but also on personal performance.

Gamma Holding is active in many countries, which each have their own laws and culture. Within parameters and general principles set by the group, the operating companies therefore pursue their own human resource policy, tailored to the local situation.

Code of conduct

Gamma Holding has its own code of conduct, which is published on the company’s website. Important elements of this code of conduct include employees’ right to organise and the prohibition of any form of discrimination. Gamma Holding applies these business principles not only in Europe, but in all of the countries in which the group is active. In addition, Gamma Holding has a whistleblower scheme, which is also published on the company’s website. No complaints were lodged under the whistleblower scheme in the year under review.

Works Councils

In all countries where it is a legal requirement, works councils are active in the various companies and trade unions are consulted on important issues such as reorganisations, working conditions and health & safety. As well as these and other forms of employee participation, Gamma Holding has a European Works Council, which discusses not only the developments and outlook for the company, but also strategic choices and specific plans.
