We strive to create a safe, inclusive, and collaborative workplace where our people can flourish and take charge of their careers. Our open, trust-based culture encourages bold thinking, shared learning and personal ownership of growth.
Engagement and empowerment
Cultivating a culture in which employees are engaged and empowered within their roles while ensuring that their voices are heard within a large organization is integral to the talent management strategy at Franke.
We’re building a culture where people are trusted to make a difference, take initiative, and challenge the status quo.
Why? Because empowered people are more creative, more dedicated, and more likely to push boundaries that move Franke forward.
Talent management
We take talent development seriously. Through ourTalent Management and Succession Planning (TMSP) process, we identify and support the growth of future leaders. In 2024, over 290 employees where developed as leaders through our targeted training programs.
Diversity and inclusion
A diverse workforce with regard to cultures, genders, age, and skills is a key driver of creativity, innovation, and success. Inclusive work environments, in which diversity is managed and promoted, can support talent attraction and retention, improve employee well-being, and ultimately reduce absenteeism. As we operate in 33 countries, we have a relatively diverse workforce by nature. However, we plan to increase our efforts to integrate diversity and inclusion aspects into our core way of working and to ensure that the diversity in our workforce reflects the diversity of the regions in which we operate.
Our female workforce
In 2024, the proportion of women in the workforce increased by 1 percentage point to 28 percent. On management board level, it was 14 percent in 2022, unchanged to the previous year. Overall, we recognize that we must expand our efforts to reach a more reasonable gender balance within Franke, and we have begun developing a global approach for diversity and inclusion.
