We are a large family with a wide-reaching network of partners
located across the globe. Our company started out as a fairly
small business, but meanwhile many new colleagues have joined
us and we are now a very close-knit group of companies. The
result: many highly committed employees who truly live their
passion for the company. We are passionate about developing
products for a very specific purpose: a natural way to improve
our health and well-being. There is no other goal we are more
passionate about.
Needless to say, professional training and continued professional
education for our staff is one of our priorities. On a regular basis,
we hold internal and external trainings. We visit trade shows (both
on site and online) and constantly exchange information and
expertise with associations and universities. We also use these
contacts when looking for new experts for our company. Our aim
is to recruit and employ staff with the highest possible qualifications. In 2019, we conducted a standardised quantitative survey
to assess employee satisfaction. We will repeat this survey on a
regular basis to foster a regular exchange of opinions to help us
identify potential fields of improvement.
Healthcare is another key topic for us, as is occupational health
and safety. Flexible work hours and work-from-home opportunities help our staff reconcile their jobs and their private lives
and promote a pleasant work atmosphere. In spring 2021, Salus
announced what is known as the “E.L.C.H” programme offering
counselling and support for employees in extremely challenging
life situations. Salus group employees who find themselves in a
mentally difficult situation in their lives now receive anonymous
and free-of-charge support at an external counselling centre.
The internal company magazine “Salus-Bladl” is published twice
a year, featuring articles written by trainees and employees on
current topics such as the environment or dedicated projects and
activities. Our employees are also involved in special sustainability-themed campaign days.
Together, we work on projects and solutions — regardless of age,
origin, and denomination. Fresh thinking meets long-standing
experience to bring out the best results. This is why many of our
colleagues have been with Salus for many years now — and that
tells us that our employees truly love working here.
