HR strategy

The ultimate objective of the KION Group’s HR strategy is to provide the best possible support for the targeted implementation of the KION 2027 strategy, with which it is closely aligned. The KION Group’s success in the implementation of KION 2027 is founded on the capabilities and motivation of its employees.

To this end, the KION Group uses a wide range of instruments and measures to ensure that there is always a sufficient number of highly qualified, hard-working employees at all levels of its operations. Attractive working conditions and the opportunities for career progression afforded by working for an international group of companies play an important role in this and provide a solid basis for meeting the manifold challenges presented by our workforce, the various labor markets, demographic change, and digitalization.

The KION Group’s employer brands are very important in this regard. Familiarity with the three main employer brands, Linde, STILL, and Dematic, remains very high and was further strengthened during the reporting year. In 2021, STILL was recognized as a top employer for the tenth year in succession by the Top Employers Institute, a certification organization.
