What makes a company employee-oriented? What does good work really look like in everyday life? And how do employees experience their working environment when communication on an equal footing, trust, development opportunities, and respectful treatment are the focus?
We explored these questions together with the team from farb.film, a film production company from Magdeburg, during video shoots throughout Saxony-Anhalt over the past few weeks. The result is a series of authentic short portraits of selected companies that were awarded the state seal of approval "The employee-oriented company – I feel at home here" this year.
The films show what it means to actively and sustainably shape working conditions. They provide insights into a wide range of industries – from nursing and engineering to glass finishing – and make it clear that good work has many faces.
The films were shot where the work takes place – on construction sites, in factory halls, care facilities, offices, and even on research grounds. Employees, managers, and executives share their experiences and talk about what matters to them in their everyday work.
Whether it's flexible working hours, an open communication culture, targeted training, or flat hierarchies, the companies show how employee orientation can be implemented in concrete terms. And why this not only increases satisfaction but also strengthens future viability.
The films will be shown for the first time at our award ceremony for the state seal – after which they will also be available on our website. Look forward to real insights into strong teams from Saxony-Anhalt.
Be inspired by companies that put their employees at the center of their business.
