Get involved!

„My Idea“ gives SAF-HOLLAND employees the opportunity to submit their ideas for improving internal operating procedures in all areas of the company. “My Idea” is catching on as we’ve already received an abundance of suggestions. Ideas have included how to streamline operating procedures and improve work safety. We’re not the only ones profiting from “My Idea”. Our customers are also benefiting from practical suggestions received. SAF-HOLLAND looks forward to every new suggestion.

And new ideas can pay! Be it non-cash prizes or special offers like reserved parking spots, new ideas can mean a salary bonus. It’s nice when ideas finally pay off!

Push the pedals. Bike to work!

Why not bike to work? That’s what Executive Assistant at SAF-HOLLAND, Yvonne Schohe, thought. But she didn’t just think it, she did it! And with a 23 mile route from her home to Bessenbach, that’s no small feat. Not only did her pedaling benefit the environment, she felt great doing something for herself and she also received a special credit from her health insurance company. The German-wide initiative “Bike to work!“ motivated others, too. More and more coworkers were frequently taking their bikes to work. Yvonne has to plan her day well, of course. After all, she’s biking around two hours a day. But those hours are not only completely carbon free, they’re also keeping her fit!

Think healthy, be healthy.

Remember the old adage “An apple a day keeps the doctor away“? Now our employees can grab a healthy snack every day at one of our vitamin stations. Demand at the vitamin stations has been so high we’ve already handed out almost one ton of apples. We make seasonal fruit a priority and work together with our regional suppliers to ensure that it doesn’t require any unnecessary travel to get to us. It keeps us healthy and keeps the environment healthy.
