Onboarding Days at PPI

The first day, ‘Culture Day’, focused on getting to know the new team members. Participants not only had the opportunity to find out who belongs to which business area, but also to discover shared hobbies and interests. This exchange immediately fostered a sense of belonging and created a pleasant atmosphere.

Our CFO, Dirk Weske, shared exciting insights into the history and economic goals of PPI. The exchange about our corporate values and their significance in everyday work was particularly memorable and was received positively across the board.

During the Q&A session with the Executive Board, topics ranged from economic challenges to current issues such as artificial intelligence. This open atmosphere allowed the new colleagues to address their questions directly to the management team and learn more about PPI's vision and direction. The day ended on a relaxed note with a voluntary bowling session – a perfect opportunity to engage in informal conversations and get to know each other better.

The second day, our ‘Business Day,’ began with a relaxed start. Nevertheless, the presentations from the various business areas had a lot to offer and prompted a multitude of questions and exciting discussions. In smaller groups, participants were able to discover synergies and work out how we can collaborate even better in the future. This focus on cooperation emphasises our integrative corporate culture and the importance of teamwork in all areas.

A big “Thank You” goes to Christina Späth and Kristina Wolf, who were instrumental in organising and ensuring the success of the event. Their commitment and passion for the onboarding programme are palpable and make a clear difference.

We look forward to welcoming our new colleagues to the PPI family and are excited about the next round of our Onboarding Days.
