Working at GOLDBECK
Our core values
GOLDBECK is a second-generation family company. That already says a lot about who we are. Humanity, trust, responsibility, performance and pioneering spirit are the values that we live by every day.
Working together, sharing common goals – but sometimes taking different paths to get there: our decentralised structure provides latitude for responding to regional particularities, among other aspects. This is just one of the things that distinguishes GOLDBECK, and should be preserved. Trust is the foundation that we build upon. It enables us to act independently and to take responsibility. And what ultimately counts is this: Together we are GOLDBECK.

Working from home.
Do you have a job that can occasionally be handled from home? We’ll support you in this type of work scenario. With the help of modern technology and a corresponding framework agreement, we can find the right solutions for you.
Adapted working hours
Because you can’t always plan everything in life.
If something changes in your personal situation – due to childcare, for example, or the need to take care of a loved one – you can adjust your working hours accordingly.
Sabbatical
Want to tour the world?
Sometimes you just have to live your dreams. That’s why GOLDBECK offers employees the opportunity to take a sabbatical in order to then start back fresh and motivated.

The gradual approach to retirement.
We work together to coordinate an employee’s gradual transition into retirement. Our company provisions ensure transparency and security in this process.

You’re more at ease working when you know your child is in good hands. The Bielefeld, Hirschberg and Munich (Neuried) locations have their own company nursery building, the “GOLDBECKchen” nursery. Employees at the Frankfurt, Monheim and Leipzig locations can also reserve a spot for their child.

Good news for your wallet.

Workplace health promotion
Good health is precious.
We ensure safe and ergonomic working conditions in our plants and at PC workstations. Height-adjustable desks, soft and elastic floor mats in the plants, and massage services for all employees help to reduce strain.
In cooperation with health insurance companies, we are able to offer all employees the opportunity to take part in digital health coaching sessions. These allow for the easy creation of nutritional plans and fitness programmes.
Modern work environment
“What a classy place!"
We hear this quite often when someone visits GOLDBECK for the first time. Many of our locations are renovated and modernised, or have been completely rebuilt. Bright offices and conference rooms, height-adjustable desks and daylight lamps all ensure comfort while working. Table football and coffee nooks provide an inviting setting for short breaks, enabling employees to return to their workstations refreshed.
Modern work equipment
It’s more fun when everything works.
Office staff members are equipped with modern laptops, headsets and monitors, enabling them to work as comfortably, flexibly and effectively as possible.
The work equipment in our plants is also continuously being updated in order to maximise our employees’ working comfort.

„We are and will remain a medium-sized family business – by nature. This means that we foster an open and direct dialogue with one another, we keep our decision-making processes simple – not overly bureaucratic – and we work with, not against, each other. Our corporate culture thrives on treating employees as people, not just as a name in an organisational chart.”
