Rettig Values


The Rettig Group is a family owned group of companies with strong internal values of openness, fairness, modesty, trust and respect.

 

Openness. An open mindset is essential for interactive teamwork and for the sharing of information. With a free flow of information we create an atmosphere for understanding our business operations at all levels in the organisation.

Fairness is the Rettig approach to handling both internal and external relationships. It is also our attitude when solving challenges and problems. Solutions that are perceived as fair by all parties become permanent solutions.

Modesty is the principle applied by Rettig in listening to and understanding divergent views and opinions. The opposite of modesty is arrogance. A Modest organisation is more sensitive to early signs that change or adjustment is required in it's operation.

Trust and respect are the most fundamental elements of our interaction and communication with different stakeholders. Without trust and respect people feel neither empowered nor prepared to take charge. 		 


People in our organisation


The Rettig values set the culture across the organisation and underpin the way we think and act between employees, towards business partners and customers. These values have been consistent and well understood for many years and have become the company’s internal driving force.

The Rettig Group is clearly an international company and as a result we can build upon best practice throughout the variety of business areas and countries. Our teams work in the spirit of the Rettig values and possess attributes in line with these core principles. As a group we aim to work together to exploit the full potential of our individual strengths and competences. Our aim is to succeed by uniting in the pursuit of shared goals.

Human Resources Function

The HR function and the individual HR representative support each legal entity within each country. The HR Function is not brand or business area specific and therefore support each commercial and functional area independently and objectively.

The aim of the HR function is to fully support and embody the overall business strategy. The HR team plays a vital role in the key decision making process by pro-actively planning for and providing solutions to support the business challenges. Our HR expertise brings together process, procedures and people in the achievement of the company’s overall business goals.

Our interface is not only with our immediate management structure, where we aim to provide solutions for our local teams, but also on an international basis to share best practice and consistency of approach in line with our values.
