Employees

Dynamics at IVG are based on skills and motivation
There is a direct relationship between our company's success and the professional and personal qualities of our employees. Key output and value-generating efforts come from them. Our human resources policy is designed to provide all-round support and career advancement for our employees. Particular emphasis is placed on motivation and professional training. We promote a modern and open company culture, individual responsibility and constructive cooperation.

Employee participation scheme
In 2009, IVG continued to offer its employees the participation scheme of IVG employee loans, with which we strengthen and promote cooperation as partners.

The IVG employee loan is an exchange risk-free savings scheme. The employees make capital available to IVG, which thanks to a tax-free supplement and interest payments results in a return of around 9.8% over a six-year period.

Personnel development measures
In the past year we established key instruments for strategic personnel development. Building on a new, development-oriented system of annual appraisal interviews, we use personal development rounds to compare the potential of our employees against the current and future demands
on their abilities. This allows us to offer our employees development opportunities in line with their requirements and to ensure sustainable personnel and succession planning.

Regular constructive exchange with employees and promotion of their potential in line with their requirements is one of the key responsibilities of our management. Continuous improvement of management skills is therefore a key cornerstone of our management development. In the past year we implemented the first fundamental component of a new
company-wide management development scheme for all IVG managers.
