PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The joys of a profession.

Following a profession means continuously developing oneself and being able to unfold one’s own potential. Serafin offers ideal conditions for this purpose. We pursue individual development paths instead of relying on rigid performance criteria and career paths that are carved in stone. Trust, personal responsibility and appreciation characterise the way in which we work together. This is how we create motivating conditions – as an individual in challenging roles as well as in teams.

Joy

What drives us at Serafin is the joy of getting things done. This applies to each and every one of us as well as jointly as a team. In order to move the group forward, we rely on sustainable commitment and entrepreneurial responsibility. This results in challenging tasks and a variety of opportunities for everyone to get involved.

Ambition

Becoming better and doing better is our aspiration. This is how we promote the group, each of our companies and all those who contribute to it. We are convinced that our employees know best where their strengths lie and which ones they would like to enhance. As a result, we set out career planning paths individually and pragmatically.

Appreciation

We perceive our differences yet meet each other on an equal footing. In this sense, we maintain a direct, open and constructive dialogue with each other. In particular, this also applies in challenging situations or stressful times. We master these times as a team, in respectful cooperation, supporting each other and complementing each other professionally and personally.
„At Serafin, a lot of emphasis is placed on professional and personal development initiatives - matching individual needs and the requirements of the specific role. This was the ideal transition for me from management consulting to an operational management position in one of our group companies.“
Nicolas von Stülpnagel, Manager Value Creation / Commercial Director BHS
