Mercedes-Benz said today it is starting a new international campaign to sell itself as an attractive employer. It’s the latest example of shifting employer attitudes in the changing automotive job market as Global Warming, EVs and social attitudes and relations gain prominence. Sweeping changes are needed at moribund automakers and political parties, among other institutions.
Here Mercedes-Benz voices its conviction that the success of the company “depends to a large extent on employees realizing their full potential in their work – with their technical expertise, pioneering spirit and uniqueness.” In short Together for excellence.” (autoinformed.com on: Chief Marketing Officer Suzy Deering Abruptly Flees Ford Blue; Ford Motor Structure Threatens Viability.

“The measures range from mobile working and flexible work time models to an attractive remuneration package. Above all there is a culture of respectful cooperation and appreciation based on integrity, diversity and sustainability,” said Sabine Kohleisen, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Human Resources & Labor Director.
As it stands, ~170,000 people from nearly 150 nations work for Mercedes-Benz globally. The campaign says “become part of the Mercedes-Benz team and discover the diverse development opportunities for themselves: Becoming … a Pioneer, Becoming … Your Best Self, Becoming … One of Us.”
Mercedes said “that people are more motivated, more efficient and happier when they are constantly developing and can contribute their personality and identity as is. The company creates and promotes equal opportunity and a culture of appreciation and respect. For example, Mercedes-Benz has set the goal of filling 30% of senior management positions with qualified women by 2030. The Management Board is already 37.5% female.”

Above all, decades after he first drove a car, Zino still revels in the sound of the exhaust as the throttle is blipped during a downshift and the driver’s rush that occurs when the entry, apex and exit points of a turn are smoothly and swiftly crossed. It’s the beginning of a perfect lap.
AutoInformed has an editorial philosophy that loves transportation machines of all kinds while promoting critical thinking about the future use of cars and trucks.
Zino builds AutoInformed from his background in automotive journalism starting at Hearst Publishing in New York City on Motor and MotorTech Magazines and car testing where he reviewed hundreds of vehicles in his decade-long stint as the Detroit Bureau Chief of Road & Track magazine.
