Content of this bachelor thesis is to portray the status quo in Germany´s discussion about its welcoming culture and its lack of qualified workers. Government actions as well as efforts from companies are shown in this paper. Two surveys were conducted about the welcoming culture in Germany and German companies. The first survey was asking companies about their need of qualified workers as well as an already might existing welcoming culture. The second survey was sent to qualified immigrants who came through projects to Germany, to find out how they perceived the efforts for a welcoming culture in Germany. The results of the whole research are summed up in the last part of the thesis with a critical eflection. The surveys were conducted with the support of Synergie Personal GmbH Deutschland, as well as with the help of the companies that participated in the projects of the Fachkräfteallianz Gewinnerregion.
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate how different types of reward motivate employees and to show that the degree of motivation of a reward differs from one organi-sational culture to the other and from one person to the other. Furthermore, it makes recommendations which reward components could be used, and which rewards should not be used in certain cultures. In the first part, several motivation theories like the content theories of motivation and the process theories are discussed. These explain the different approaches to determine what motivates people. The thesis then provides an overview of the various extrinsic and intrinsic rewards and illustrates how different reward components influence the motivation of employees. It is highlighted why it is necessary to focus on the total rewards package, rather than on single rewards. In addition, the thesis clarifies how to evaluate reward packages in order to ensure they are effective. The last part deals with culture and exemplifies how rewards need to be adapted to different cultures. Here, the thesis draws mainly on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory.
In conclusion, the thesis argues that it is crucial that a company uses an effective re-wards package which meets the needs of as many individuals within the company as possible. The thesis hopes to provide all people dealing with Human Resources useful insights into Total Rewards, and thus make a contribution to improving the way re-wards packages are set within organisations.
This bachelor thesis is about the current topic welcome culture in Germany. The focus of this work is on foreign skilled employees (both foreign employees with a local contract and Impats) and on companies. However, it also contains a current insight into the welcome culture in politics and society. On the one hand, the research question is to find out what instruments and procedures company can use for an effective integration of their international employees. These instruments cover both internal methods as well as the social integration outside the company. On the other hand, the research question is about the needs and challenges foreign skilled employees have to face with. The theory mainly includes Human Resources instruments, for example the topics “global assignments” or “onboarding” are investigated in detail. The second part is an empirical
study based on qualitative interviews with eight companies and an online questionnaire for the foreign skilled employees. As the interviews were mainly realized in large German companies, the welcome culture and employee retention is already a current topic. Results show that the companies use similar or different instruments for integrating their foreign staff. However, there are slight differences, especially in helping the employees with the social integration. The second questionnaire focused on the needs and desires of the employees from abroad showed that they are satisfied with the help offered by the company. Most of the migrants would like to extend their stay in Germany.
Situation
Due to the changes of the labour market, especially the lack of qualified personnel, the new generation and the war for talent, it is more difficult to attract employees. Particularly medium-sized companies are affected. Every enterprise has to present itself as an excellent employer. Additionally, companies should include and use current recruiting opportunities.
Aim of the thesis
The aim is to develop a target group oriented recruitment process with a social media campaign for the bielomatik Leuze GmbH + Co. KG. Besides this, the career website needs an update and optimization.
Approach and result
Through a current situation analysis in the HR department, an intended situation analysis could be done. This includes first suggested solutions and detailed approaches. The HR department received a completed concept for the career website optimization, target group oriented recruitment and image creation.
Abstract. Over the last years the German economy perceives the ongoing demographic change which is the reason for a lower offer of skilled workers. A war for talents is declared and recruiters try to meet this challenge. Especially small and medium sized companies notice the lack of qualified applicants that is why these firms should transform into an “employer of choice”. In order to become more attractive for workers, they should invest in marketing strategies to differ from the employer competitors. The theme of the scientific work deals with the development of a human resources marketing plan. The aim is to increase the brand awareness of the pharmaceutical mid-sized company the “BIPSO GmbH”. Evolving a strong employer brand which is in line with the business strategy is the center of gravity. All HR-Marketing activities are aligned to the brand “BIPSO”. In the course of the strategic process, internal and external analyses support the definition of personnel marketing measures. The methods and knowledge have been transferred to the BIPSO GmbH and checked for their applicability. The theories of “how workers choose an employer” or the analysis presented by Simon Sinek conduce to obtain a better understanding of the external target group and the strengths and weaknesses of the company. The interface between Human resources and marketing could be detected by the mutual influence of the employer brand and the product brand. Overlaps are noticeable in the strategic steps of marketing such as the positioning with the help of the EVP (= Employee Value Proposition) or the segmentation of the target groups. To address the audience via their preferred media channels and recruitment channels, an empirical research was performed. Expert interviews with the target group helped to gain insights in their media habits or the identification with the company. The results determine how the communication policy for the BIPSO GmbH should be configured. The outcome shows the need to invest in the linkage of print and online channels. In order to differentiate BIPSO from the competition, the firm should emphasize its origin as an independent family with an ethically valuable product. This unique feature is integrated into all activities. The emotional component is complemented by the rational employers offer such as the performance of the collective agreement of chemistry. In addition to the external measures internal activities were focused, which should lead to a better working environment, because "true beauty comes from the inside." Nevertheless, the human resources marketing concept is not a long-term solution for the demographic development and the lack of skilled labor. However, it can increase the level of awareness and attract the interest of candidates so that companies like the BIPSO GmbH can benefit in hiring new collaborators.
Today Outdoor-Trainings are an element in the modern world of work which increases steadily. It is about an activity-oriented method where vital key skills are developed. Outdoor-Trainings are particularly used as a learning method for management qualifications and teambuilding skills. During Outdoor-Settings participants are learning key skills by action and experience. Nevertheless Outdoor-Trainings are controversially discussed. Purpose of the present thesis is the elective “White Water Principles of Management“ of Hochschule Furtwangen University. Management skills are a learning target taught during an excursion by kayaking on a white water river. There are just a few empirical studies regarding effectiveness and efficiency of Outdoor-Trainings. This is why the following study is analysing the outcome and effectiveness of “White Water Training” for management education. Moreover the elaboration explores the coherence between the characteristics of the students and their management skills. The method used for data collection is a questionnaire where probands indicate their level of agreement towards their management skills on a rating scale. The present study consists of a quasi-experimental design where test persons are classified in an experimental and a control group by criteria of participation or non-participation. This means that people are not randomly assigned to a group. Data are collected two points in time, before and after the measure respectively the workshop. The purpose of the study is to find out whether the experimental group changed more than the control group. The effect of the workshop is measured by the difference in the amount of change between the experimental and the control group.
After evaluating the collected data the study shows that the experimental group respectively the group which participated in the elective, changed clearly more than the control group. Regarding the coherence analysis a connection between business studies and the outcome of the study can be clearly observed. Students of business studies achieved the highest outcomes compared to students of other fields of studies. Moreover it was discovered that students who already had done an apprenticeship had higher levels of agreement before the measure as their colleagues without apprenticeships.
In der vorliegenden Abschlussarbeit wird das Thema „Potenziale und Hemmnisse grenzüberschreitenden Recruitings: Wie kann die EMS Systemgastronomie KG durch diese Potenziale und Hemmnisse das Recruiting in Frankreich effizienter nutzen?“
Als Mitarbeiterin im Personalwesen zweier Unternehmen, die McDonald’s-Restaurants sowohl in Deutschland als auch in Frankreich betreiben, sah ich mich mit Problematiken konfrontiert, die offensichtlich auf den Unterschieden zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich beruhen, sowohl in kultureller als auch in rechtlichen Fragen.
Die EMS Systemgastronomie KG, für die ich während der Erstellung dieser Arbeit im französischen Recruiting tätig bin, hat keinerlei Erfahrungen mit der Personalarbeit in Frankreich und hier konnte ich mit meinen Kenntnissen aus den Praktika bereits einige Fragen klären.
Diese Arbeit soll nun die zukünftige Personalarbeit im grenzüberschreitenden Recruiting insofern vereinfachen, dass auch Mitarbeiter, die im französischen Ausland bislang keine Erfahrungen sammeln konnten, diese Arbeit problemlos und rasch erledigen können.
Als Quellen dienten mir neben der Fachliteratur und Informationen, die ich von den verschiedenen Arbeitskollegen aus Frankreich und Deutschland erhielt, auch meine eigenen Erfahrungen und Kenntnisse, die ich aus der Personalarbeit beider Firmen mitnehmen konnte.
Die zu beachtenden Problematiken liegen nicht nur in der unterschiedlichen Höhe des französischen und deutschen Mindestlohnes, sondern reichen über dies auch in kulturelle Themen und arbeitsrechtliche Punkte hinaus.
Mit dieser Arbeit können die wichtigsten Punkte schnell erfasst und für die Zukunft vermieden bzw. erörtert werden.
Generationenmanagement - Maßnahmen zur Motivation Mitarbeiter aller Generationene un Unternehmen
(2015)
Das wohl aktuellste und brisanteste Thema in den Personalabteilungen deutscher Unternehmen und der Politik ist der demografische Wandel und seine Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitswelt in der Zukunft.
Die gesamte Bevölkerung in Deutschland wird zunehmend altern und die Altersstruktur wir sich von Grund auf ändern mit Trend zu einer alten Gesellschaft. Auch steigen in der Zukunft die Anforderungen an Arbeitnehmer mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit, während gleichzeitig allerdings kein Anstieg der qualifizierten Arbeitskräfte zu erwarten ist. Dies stellt Unternehmen vor ganz neue Herausforderungen, die es mit innovativen Maßnahmen zu bewältigen gilt.
Dazu gehört zum Beispiel die Frage, welche Folgen der demografische Wandel auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der entsprechenden Unternehmen hat. Schließlich werden die bisherigen, traditionellen Führungsstile in deutschen Unternehmen kaum mehr effektiv funktionieren können, durch eine zunehmend größer werdende altersspezifische Kluft innerhalb der Unternehmen. Heutzutage arbeiten in einem Unternehmen bis zu fünf unterschiedliche Generationen Seite an Seite. Jede davon hat andere Erwartungen an den Arbeitgeber, Ansichten, Prägungen sowie Werte. Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt an diesem Punkt an und beleuchtet die unterschiedlichen Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels, die unterschiedlichen Generationen sowie die Maßnahmen, die ein Unternehmen im Personalmanagement einbringen könnte, um sich an die Bedingungen des demografischen Wandels anzupassen. Ziel ist es, einen Führungsstil zu entwickeln, der mehrere Generationen zusammen effektiv führen kann und vor allem zu motivieren.
Der Begriff Wissensmanagement bietet eine Fülle an unterschiedlichen Definitionen, Interpretationen, Auffassungen und Sichtweisen. Hierbei wird der Schwerpunkt oft auf ITgestützte Systeme gelegt und nicht auf den Menschen als Hauptwissensträger. Auch der Bedeutung der Wissensverteilung innerhalb des Unternehmens wird nicht ausreichend Beachtung geschenkt. Aus diesen Gründen legt die vorliegende Arbeit das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Wissensverteilung und den Mensch als Wissensträger im
Unternehmen. Im Rahmen der Ausarbeitung werden unterschiedliche Sichtweisen zum Thema Wissen und Wissensmanagement vorgestellt und anerkannte Modelle
beschrieben. Weiter liefert die Arbeit einen Überblick an Methoden und softwaretechnischen Unterstützung, die auf die Wissensverteilung abzielen. Fallbeispiele
zeigen, wie Wissensmanagement schon erfolgreich umgesetzt wurde aber auch wie die Umsetzung in Unternehmen scheiterte. Im Anschluss wird mit Hilfe von empirischen
Studien ein Vergleich zwischen den theoretischen Ansätzen und der Praxis gezogen.
Auf Grund der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse schließt die Arbeit mit einer Empfehlung für Unternehmen ab.
Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit in internationalen After-Sales Organisationen am Beispiel der Daimler AG
(2015)
Leading from the thesis that customer satisfaction depends on the level of employee satisfaction, the following work provides an analysis of different criteria which contribute to the satisfaction of employees. Furthermore, the demand for homogeneously designed concepts at Daimler AG provides a basis for the following question:
Is there a common denominator for employee satisfaction in the worldwide After-Sales Organisation of Daimler AG, considering cultural and organisational differences?
Based on selected literature the concept of employee satisfaction in international After-Sales organisations is discussed by linking the term of employee satisfaction to employee motivation and intercultural differences.
The centre of this work is an international employee survey which consists of a comparison of nine employee satisfaction criteria, implying that the interviewee has to decide which criterion contributes more to his employee satisfaction.
The different survey results of each nationality are discussed and compared regarding the differently weighted satisfaction criteria. There is no criterion which is commonly ranked to be most important among all three nationalities. The criterion which is ranked either on the first or on the second place in all three nationalities is the “income” of an employee, the second most important criterion is “working climate”. Linking these results to a model of interdependencies, it is revealed that “working climate” is the criterion which most influences the other criteria and can furthermore be easily influenced. As “working climate” is not only the second most important criterion to influence employee satisfaction, but is also the most influencing and influenced criterion, it can be said that “working climate” requires the most attention on behalf of the employer to increase general employee satisfaction.
The statement of this work is that there is no single criterion which accomplishes overall employee satisfaction but there are a few criteria which contribute more to the employees’ satisfaction than other criteria do.
