What We Offer Our Employees

Our attractive remuneration package consists of several components. We highly value commitment and performance. In addition to an above-average base salary, we offer our employees the following additional benefits:

• Variable annual bonuses: You can receive up to 5 bonuses per year, based on the company’s success and your individual performance.
• Monthly attendance bonus: We also reward reliability with a monthly non-cash benefit. This bonus is granted in recognition of regular attendance and is tax- and social security contribution-free for you.

To reward the willingness to work in a two-shift system, all employees working early and late shifts receive a shift allowance of €1 per hour. This corresponds to approximately €175 per month for full-time employment.

We rely on long-term relationships with our employees. If you have been with the company for at least 15 years there is an extra day of vacation. From 20 years in the company even 2 extra vacation days per year. In addition, all employees with only a few days of absence can receive up to 2 additional days of holiday in the following year. This means our employees can receive up to 32 days of holiday per year.

Every Friday there is a common breakfast, which is paid for by the company. This also promotes the cohesion of the colleagues and serves as a good mood for the weekend.

What would work be without lunch and coffee breaks together? We provide our employees with free drinks in the form of mineral water, tea and coffee.

We support an attractive, environmentally friendly and healthy form of mobility for our employees. Through our company bike leasing scheme, you benefit from tax and social security advantages.

A good work-life balance for our employees is important to us. That is why we take special account of the needs of colleagues who temporarily want to devote themselves more to the family – be it in childcare or through obligations for relatives in need of care. Whether home office or part-time work – with us everyone will find the combination that can best be reconciled with their individual lifestyle. A working time account can be used to compensate for periods of weak work without any financial disadvantage. In addition, accumulated overtime can be used for private appointments.

If interested, we also offer our employees the opportunity to take on new areas of responsibility. This creates variety in everyday work, increases mutual understanding – and welds our teams even closer together.

In order to develop the potential of our employees personally and professionally, we offer them a variety of opportunities to develop further within our corporate structures. As part of the SHZ employee development program, employees hold regular discussions with their superiors about individual goals and the appropriate development measures. When filling management positions, we always first check whether someone internally is interested and has the necessary know-how for the position to be filled. Almost all current SHZ executives started out as “simple” employees and continued to develop until they were finally able to take on a leadership role. A good example is our warehouse manager. He started as a machine operator years ago – but has continued to develop within the company.

In addition to the attractive remuneration models, our employees also benefit from other advantages. For example, they receive employee discounts on all SHZ products.

In our family company, every single employee makes a major contribution to mutual success. As a thank you for the tireless efforts of our team, we organize two employee events per year.
