It is important to us that our employees are able to combine family, work and leisure time. Instead of fixed schedules and shift models, our flexitime framework without fixed core hours means that working hours can be freely arranged. In combination with a 35-hour week, this offers a large amount of flexibility.
In addition, all employees whose tasks allow it have the option of working from home for part of their working hours (approx. 40%).
We are bound by collective agreements. This commitment to the collective agreement of the metal and electrical industry in North Rhine-Westphalia is associated with many benefits, such as an attractive salary structure with regular pay increases, additional special payments, a 35-hour week and special leave on special occasions.
In addition, we subsidize retirement savings benefits (BAV) via the metal pension scheme. This gives our employees the opportunity to make provisions for their future and benefit from tax advantages.
Although the company has grown rapidly, the average length of time employees have been with the company is an impressive twelve years, which demonstrates the strong loyalty and identification of employees with DFT. Employment from apprenticeship to retirement is not uncommon with us. We organize Welcome Days for all new team members.
Here, the “newcomers” get to know each other personally and across departments and are given an overview of all areas of the company.
Whether it’s a Christmas party, city bike ride or family party – we regularly organize events to strengthen the team spirit and give employees the opportunity to get to know each other better outside of the working environment and to experience wonderful moments together outside of everyday working life.
We offer our employees access to the “Corporate Benefits Portal”, an exclusive range of benefits and discounts from various partners, brands and service providers. After successful registration, nothing stands in the way of private shopping fun.
Advantages:
We offer our employees the option of leasing a bike via the “JobRad” platform. This offers benefits for the wallet, health and the environment: by leasing a bike, our employees can get the bike of their choice at a cost-effective price and are able to cycle to work in an environmentally friendly way while promoting their health.
We support our employees in their sporting activities by offering a subsidized Sportnavi membership. This gives them discounted access to a wide range of sports and fitness activities to promote their health and fitness.
Every year we take part in city cycling and run & roll City. For our cyclists, we offer covered bicycle parking and the use of showers and changing rooms on the company grounds.
Mental health: Our employees have access to Instahelp, a professional, confidential counselling and support program that offers support with professional issues as well as help with concerns about family, relationships and personal issues.
Occupational health care: Our company doctor is available to our employees for all work-related medical matters. She offers regular check-ups to check the health of our employees and identify any risks at an early stage. She also takes care of the necessary vaccinations before business trips.
We subsidize the “ German ticket as a job ticket”. The digital German ticket provides unlimited access to regional and local public transport throughout Germany. This allows our employees to get to their workplace quickly and cheaply – and to go wherever they prefer to spend their free time – while at the same time making a contribution to environmental protection.
Work makes you hungry! Our canteen offers our employees a wide selection of tasty meals. The food not only tastes good, but is also subsidized by the company and is therefore particularly affordable for our employees. The offer is rounded off with free water dispensers and free fruit to promote the health and well-being of our employees.
DFT is located close to the A2 highway. But we are also easy to reach by bike or public transport. We provide plenty of free parking spaces as a basic requirement. There is also covered parking for motorcycles and bicycles.
The automation of intralogistics processes is a market of the future, because with the constantly growing e-commerce market, the demand for efficient and flexible solutions for the storage and transportation of goods is increasing. This trend is clearly reflected in our continuous company growth. Thanks to our leading role in the development and implementation of innovative logistics solutions, we not only offer our employees future-proof jobs, but also the opportunity to work in a dynamic and future-oriented environment and to develop their careers.
