DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

COUNTER CULTURE

Equal opportunities are a key concern for us. At RESOPAL, we are actively committed to an inclusive and non-discriminatory society by promoting equality between men and women, the employment of senior citizens, the integration of people with disabilities and ethnic and social diversity.

Our workforce is as diverse as society itself. Since the 1960s, many people from Portugal have found their way to Groß-Umstadt through RESOPAL, making it home to the largest Portuguese community in Germany today. We are proud of this diversity of generations and nationalities in our company.

This Graduate Program enables young graduates to become familiar with the company and its various specialised professions, to work collaboratively on projects and receive tutoring from highly experienced in-house staff for the duration of their contract. This provides them with enhanced insight into the company and helps them to decide on their future career, an approach which also contributes to retaining talent.

The young people on this program also have the opportunity to :

  • acquire a broad overview of the company.
  • build their network.
  • work with a team.
  • learn quickly.
  • demonstrate their abilities to deal with major challenges.
  • pursue their training.

It also enables the company to attract young people to a less attractive employment sector, and to contribute to the creation of a talent pool in anticipation of the future.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT

People who are committed - that is the mutual promise we make to each other at RESOPAL. Our employees are committed to the company and we are committed to our employees by finding individual solutions for different phases of their lives.
  
We support young people through apprenticeships, study and trainee programmes as well as working student positions. We also offer individual part-time models that enable flexible working in terms of time and place. Parental leave is available to everyone at our company, regardless of gender or hierarchical level. We also make it possible to work beyond retirement age through a mini-job or part-time employment alongside your pension. This makes the transition to retirement more flexible and we can continue to benefit from their many years of experience.

INTEGRATION OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Around 9% of the German population have a severe disability. We work closely with our representative body for severely disabled employees and the social welfare office to actively integrate people with disabilities into the company. Our company doctor helps to compensate for health restrictions by providing more ergonomic workstations such as height-adjustable desks or standing mats.

Apprenticeship is a growing trend in all business sectors in France and represents a real opportunity for young people to enter the labour market and acquire solid professional experience in parallel to their studies.


We recruit through apprenticeship whenever the need for staffing a team arises, provided that the conditions for recruitment are secured. For us, hiring through apprenticeship is not simply a legal obligation but a genuine recruitment choice. Certain departments, such as maintenance, IT, or marketing, are particularly suited to apprenticeship. The level of study ranges from technical high school to engineer.

The objective for the apprentice is to acquire skills and boost their personal development throughout their training period. For this initial in-company experience, the aim is to foster young people’s desire to exercise the profession they have been trained for and, ideally, to provide them with a future prospect within the company. It is thus crucial for us to ensure upstream our ability to welcome apprentices in suitable conditions (expertise and availability of the tutor, working conditions, etc.).
