You give good work a seal of approval - sometimes two or three

The sound of the camera travelling along the video track, the brief click of the shutter release, the whirring of a drone over the set, a final powdering of the nose and a proud look at the employees. Kirsten Lehmann, owner of the nursing service "Pflegedienst Hand in Hand Pflege mit Herz & Verstand" in Bad Schmiedeberg, is very excited.
Shoot - film away.

We are in the middle of filming one of the company videos for the award of the state seal "The employee-oriented company - I feel good here" 2022. It is already the second state seal that will be awarded to the company on 2 June 2022 at the big ceremony in Magdeburg's Johanniskirche. The care service received its first state seal of approval at a rapid pace and with top marks back in 2021. Kirsten Lehmann is very proud of her employee-orientated company. So proud, in fact, that she has also affixed the seal to all of her employees' vehicles. For her, it's all about the values that the national seal embodies. These values, which are practised within the company, are now also communicated to the outside world with the vehicle fleet. This shows clients and other companies that her employees enjoy working for her.

Ms Lehmann became aware of the state seal "The employee-oriented company - I feel good here" at an event in October 2020 at which the state initiative Fachkraft im Fokus presented the Werteetz© analysis procedure. The network meeting on the topic of "Future Care" in Wörlitz is the third fully booked event of its kind within a month. This says a lot about the urgency of the topic and the great interest in it. Our regional consultants Katrin Freytag, Norbert Köhn and Uwe Hildebrandt are impressed by the huge amount of interest shown in our employee survey concept in accordance with Werteetz© at this event too. Kirsten Lehmann, however, is so enthusiastic that she immediately arranges a consultation appointment for the following day in Dessau with Katrin Freytag, regional consultant for companies.

Even then, Mrs Lehmann knows what she has in her employees and does everything she can to ensure that they are and remain satisfied. She finances many training courses and qualifications, which are also well received. Community activities bring the team closer together. Kirsten Lehmann is there for her team around the clock - even when she is on holiday. But is this also well received by her employees? Her motivation for promptly taking part in the free employee survey is to scrutinise this closely and make corrections if necessary. All employees take part in the first round. The excellent results of the survey speak for themselves. In the second round, the percentage even climbed again - despite the adverse conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

"However, my goal is to achieve 100% in my third round to obtain the national seal, which is only valid for one year," emphasises Kirsten Lehmann, looking to the future and hoping for continued intensive support from the state initiative Fachkraft im Fokus. "But what's more important to me is how we get there," she continues. "I want to keep the satisfaction of my employees at a high level. For example, I will be organising the popular events such as summer parties, barbecues, Christmas parties and joint brunches on a regular basis again as soon as possible. Because for me, the basic idea of "good work" is safe work that is also valued. Satisfaction in the workplace. A great team around me and employees who are happy to be there for each other, for our clients and for me."

The Values Network© analysis method makes it possible to map the values of employees and managers in a company in comparison to the reality in the company. It is a way of visualising employee satisfaction and identifying potential problems in order to work on them.
The state seal recognises companies in Saxony-Anhalt as attractive employers and provides a considerable advantage in the competition for sought-after skilled workers.
