Personnel strategy
We think and work globally. In, for example, San Francisco, Singapore, Auckland and Hamburg. Dedicated employees with a cosmopolitan outlook go places at Hapag-Lloyd. Our hierarchies are flat and our organizational structures decentralized: in our company people who take responsibility and make decisions are successful.
We select and promote our recruits according to principles from which both sides benefit.
For us, the personality of our employees is of central significance. Only employees with a positive outlook can achieve success in the long term. We work in a trustworthy way and in an atmosphere of mutual respect and sincerity with both customers and employees. This presupposes a high degree of communicative and team skills in our day-to-day business.
We are looking for employees capable of thinking strategically and acting entrepreneurialy. We want to continue to have a management and staff who keep the future of our company clearly in mind and fully focus on realizing this vision. In our sector, it is essential for personnel to be sociable and communicative both within the company and towards the outside world.
At Hapag-Lloyd you will find many opportunities for gaining specialist and general qualifications, both on and off the job. We place a great deal of value on in-company promotion, in all group companies invariably giving this precedence over appointing persons from outside.
Joining the company
Hapag-Lloyd offers you a wealth of career prospects, no matter whether you are a school-leaver wishing to start an initial training qualification program, a university graduate interested in embarking on a career, or someone who has already accumulated some professional experience and is seeking new challenges.
If you are a graduate, we will consult with you to define your course of training on the basis of your particular strengths and interests. We want to cooperate with you on deciding your future with us.
Opportunities
You will not join us right away as a member of the executive board, but you can become one. We give in-house personnel development a high priority - after all, we want to serve our customers competently.
At Hapag-Lloyd Group, we do not make career progress dependent on qualifications gained or grades achieved in examinations: we put more importance on cooperating with motivated employees who are willing to work to achieve our corporate goals.
Internationally oriented, mobile people find various ways of advancing their careers at Hapag-Lloyd, in areas ranging from specialist activity to management, from operative business to central staff functions.
