Working at ERCO

Wir bei ERCO denken, dass Freiheit und Eigenverantwortung ganz wichtig sind, um über sich hinaus zu wachsen. Deshalb lassen wir die Menschen bei uns einfach machen, als wäre ERCO „ihr“ Unternehmen. Denn wir trauen unseren Kolleginnen und Kollegen eine Menge zu. Außerdem vertrauen wir ihnen voll und ganz, dass sie immer ihr Bestes geben. Dass sie tun, was gut für ERCO, die Mitglieder ihres Teams und letztlich auch für sie selbst ist.
So lässt sich dann auch Ungewohntes erfolgreich angehen. Nicht zuletzt, weil wir bei ERCO zu 100 Prozent füreinander da sind. Und gerade dieses Gemeinschaftsgefühl bestärkt jeden einzelnen von uns darin, unser Unternehmen mitzugestalten. Jeden Tag neu.

Our vision
The world around us is three-dimensional. At ERCO we understand light as an independent, fourth dimension of architecture. By this we mean that our lighting solutions lend buildings, offices and outdoor facilities an additional design dimension and also give added value to the people who use them on a daily basis. This is our vision of making architecture and society better through light.​

Our core values
As an innovative company, ERCO is constantly changing. In this environment in particular, common values are extremely important for all employees. They convey trust, cohesion and security for working together. Above all though, they create identification – for all current and future employees worldwide.

Our values are supplemented by our mission statements for employees and executive managers. All employees are subject to our principles of cooperation which focus on a philosophy of team spirit, personal development and our commitment to performance orientation.
We define uniform and binding expectations for managers in our management mission statement.

We are constantly developing. Mutual feedback, shapes our cooperation across all hierarchical levels. And we reinvent ourselves as a company again and again: for example in the ERCO Ideas Workshop, a creative workshop environment at our headquarters that provides scope for creative and disruptive solutions. Or through an exchange among each other, with partners and other companies.

Right at the start of employment at ERCO, a systematic familiarisation programme takes place lasting several weeks for all new employees. Our annual development meetings serve as a basis for the professional and personal development of our employees. Regardless of the division in which they work, the development of each and every individual is a central goal of all our executive managers.
Our comprehensive internal seminar programme for all ERCO employees takes into account not only various technical themes and ERCO-specific events, but also current developments such as Industry 4.0 and digitisation. Our internal training programmes (for example LEAN Expert training) serve to raise the level of qualification and create space and mindsets for innovation and development.

Benchmarks are important for us because we are convinced that they will help us to develop further and continually provide us with new impetus. As a result of this we have received several awards.
