Hands off! The name Zeppelin actually stands for a good corporate culture - but not Zeppelin Systems GmbH!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Unfortunately not much at the moment. It was already much better.....

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

The above points say enough.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Finally start solving the operational problems at the grassroots level and focus less on increasing sales and more on effectiveness and earnings. Honest and fair dealings with employees, open and fair communication. Listen to criticism from employees, deal with it and draw conclusions from it. Concentrate on the know-how still available and don't take off and land projects with which this company is completely overwhelmed and in the end there is once again a minus profit in the books. It is hard to imagine where Zeppelin Systems GmbH would be if it did not belong to the Zeppelin Group.... Systems GmbH would probably no longer exist! The top management must finally do something and take a clear direction and strategy. The eternal in and out of the potatoes must finally stop! The employees at the base must not be lost any more.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Unfortunately, it is getting worse and worse and is becoming an absolute disaster. It sometimes goes so far that employees are demonstrably lied to by top management. As is usually the case, there is little or no praise and complaints about employees are not heard from both sides. Opinions are formed unilaterally and employees are judged accordingly.

Kommunikation

Information on results, figures, data and facts is provided irregularly. However, you do not receive information that is fundamental to your area of work. If this information is requested, the relevant departments turn a blind eye. If the line manager is then called in to obtain this information, nothing happens either.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

In the individual departments ok, across departments it's always just about finger-pointing and finding someone to blame.

Work-Life-Balance

There is a lot of talk about it, but when it comes down to it and concrete wishes and demands are expressed in this regard, it becomes clear how arch-conservative this company still is. Obviously, word has not yet gotten around here that it is currently an employee market and employers have to fight for good employees and offer something. Zeppelin has obviously not yet recognized this trend. The best example is the threat to cancel remaining vacation if it has not been taken by the end of the year.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Some decisions are completely incomprehensible. Objections and suggestions from long-standing specialists are not heard and dismissed. In cases of conflict, an open and clarifying discussion is not sought with the employee concerned, but the employee is condemned accordingly.

Interessante Aufgaben

The workload is ok, in your own department and depending on your supervisor, you can implement your own ideas accordingly.

Gleichberechtigung

At least there is nothing negative to say here...although..... Sometimes it is incomprehensible how employees without any specialist know-how are given new tasks and responsibilities for entire specialist areas and are later proven to be completely overwhelmed with the new tasks.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Dealing with older colleagues is ok, but unfortunately there is also a very negative nose factor and this has become increasingly common recently. If these people don't suit the line manager, they are gone very quickly.

Arbeitsbedingungen

More of a sham than a reality.... Noisy open-plan offices with no real noise reduction measures. All requests in this regard are rigorously rejected. There is a massive lack of investment in production, and some of the machinery is correspondingly old.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Here too, unfortunately, there is more pretense than reality. Although the company has made sustainability as top priority, it is not practiced on a small scale and is commented on by top managers with words such as "what do I care about sustainability, we have to do business".

Image

Once again, more pretense than reality. Although the slogan "We are Zeppelin" is repeated again and again, it is hardly a reality any more. In the last 1-1.5 years, the mood has been getting worse and worse and you hear more and more statements like "No more Zeppelin! What a catastrophe.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

It's possible if the nose factor is right and you can slime accordingly! Specialist knowledge often doesn't play a role in new appointments, but rather relationships and how someone can sell themselves.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar

Zeppelin HR Team

Liebe Kollegin, lieber Kollege,

vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es ist bedauerlich, dass Sie Zeppelin Systems als Arbeitgeber nicht weiterempfehlen können. Sehr gerne möchten wir zu den von Ihnen genannten Punkten Stellung beziehen.
Unsere Führungsgrundsätze Vertrauen, Wirksamkeit, Begeisterung, Innovation und Wertschätzung verdeutlichen das mitarbeiterorientierte Führungsverständnis. Darunter verstehen wir auch einen wertschätzenden und empathischen Umgang auf Augenhöhe sowie ein ehrliches Feedback.
Sie sehen: Das von Ihnen beschriebene Bild entspricht definitiv nicht unserem Wertesystem und wir nehmen es sehr ernst, dass Sie offensichtlich andere Erfahrungen gemacht haben.
Das Thema Work-Life-Balance hat bei Zeppelin einen hohen Stellenwert. Unterstrichen wird dies durch die sehr großzügige Regelung zu mobilem Arbeiten. Im Rahmen der letztjährigen Mitarbeiterbefragung wurde die Flexibilität und die Art, wie wir mobiles Arbeiten leben, vom Großteil der Mitarbeitenden als sehr positiv bewertet. Die unterjährige mehrmalige Aufforderung den tariflichen Urlaub bis Jahresende in Anspruch zu nehmen, resultiert auch aus der Fürsorge heraus den Mitarbeitenden ausreichend Erholung zu ermöglichen. Sollte dies betriebsbedingt nicht in vollem Umfang möglich gewesen sein, so konnten Resttage problemlos auch auf 2024 übertragen werden.
Personalauswahlprozesse haben wir bewusst so gestaltet, dass Einstellungen nach Nasenfaktor oder Beziehungsgeflecht nicht möglich sind. Unsere Entscheidungen finden entlang fachlicher Sollprofile sowie der Passung als Mensch ins Team statt und werden von Fachbereich und HR gemeinsam getroffen. In diesem Zusammenhang finden wir verstärkt für beide Parteien passende Arbeitsplätze für erfahrene, leistungsgeminderte oder gesundheitlich eingeschränkte Arbeitende.
In den letzten Jahren wurden sowohl im Bürogebäude als auch in den Fertigungsbereichen hohe Investitionen getätigt, die den Mitarbeitenden ergonomisch und geräuschreduzierte Arbeitsplätze sowie einen modernen Maschinenpark bieten.
Das Thema der internen Kommunikation ist sicherlich eines der wichtigsten. Wir sind daher sehr bemüht uns in diesem Punkt sukzessive zu verbessern. Aus diesem Grund informiert die Geschäftsführung monatlich alle Mitarbeitenden über die wichtigsten Zahlen/Fakten und nimmt sich in unterschiedlichen Mitarbeiterformaten sehr viel Zeit um Fragen zu beantworten.
Es freut mich, dass sich Ihre Verbesserungsvorschläge sehr gut mit unseren bereits initiierten und gelebten Maßnahmen decken. Ihr Feedback zeigt aber auch, dass wir es jetzt noch schaffen müssen, dies durchgängig transparent zu machen.
Sollte ich die von Ihnen angesprochenen Punkte nicht ausreichend beantwortet haben, so können Sie sich dazu auch direkt mit mir unter oliver.ellsaesser@zeppelin.com in Verbindung setzen. Über einen persönlichen Austausch würde ich mich freuen.

Mit besten Grüßen

Oliver Ellsässer
Bereichsleiter Personal


Dear colleague,

Thank you for your feedback. It is regrettable that you cannot recommend Zeppelin Systems as an employer. We would like to respond to the points you have mentioned.
Our leadership principles of Trust, Effectiveness, Enthusiasm, Innovation, and Appreciation reflect our employee-oriented leadership approach. This includes respectful and empathetic interactions at eye level and honest feedback.
As you can see: The image you have described definitely does not match our value system, and we take it very seriously that you have apparently had different experiences.
The issue of work-life balance is of high importance at Zeppelin. This is underscored by our very generous policy on remote work. In last year's employee survey, the flexibility and the way we implement remote work were rated very positively by the majority of employees. The multiple requests during the year to take statutory leave by the end of the year also stem from a concern to ensure employees have sufficient rest. If it was not fully possible due to operational reasons, remaining days could easily be carried over to 2024.
Our hiring processes have been deliberately designed so that hiring based on favoritism or connections is not possible. Our decisions are made along the lines of professional requirements and fitting into the team as a person, and are jointly made by the department and HR. In this context, we are increasingly finding suitable positions for experienced, performance-impaired, or health-restricted employees.
In recent years, significant investments have been made in both the office building and the manufacturing areas, providing employees with ergonomic and noise-reduced workplaces and a modern machinery park.
Internal communication is certainly one of the most important issues. Therefore, we are very committed to continuously improve in this area. For this reason, the management informs all employees monthly about the most important numbers/facts and takes a lot of time in different employee formats to answer questions.
I am pleased that your suggestions for improvement align very well with our already initiated and implemented measures. Your feedback also shows that we now need to make this consistently transparent.
If I have not sufficiently answered the points you raised, you can also contact me directly at oliver.ellsaesser@zeppelin.com. I would welcome a personal exchange.

Best regards,

Oliver Ellsässer
VP Human Resources
