We dare to strive for more!
The motto of the recently founded Hammer Academy “… daring to strive together for more” seizes on a dichotomy with which our staff are regularly confronted. The security of the existing situation on the one hand, opportunities and risks of an altered situation on the other. Each individual has to weigh it up for himself. As a company, we are constantly driven by the market and political-economic circumstances to reconsider our situation and often to make adjustments.
And of course this does not pass our staff unnoticed. Change is called for. Some things quickly become outdated; others are uneconomical or simply no longer fast enough. But how is the individual to contend with this situation, how can he overcome shortcomings? This is exactly where the concept of the Hammer Academy comes in. For staff and customers, it creates an opportunity to acquire knowledge, skill and expertise. It is not all about professional expertise either but also covers soft skills and of course topics relating to our health. The Hammer Academy increases the attractiveness of Kurtz Ersa as an employer, serving as a platform for all our staff when conflict resolution is required between line managers and staff, with each party learning something new where necessary or undergoing further professional training in coaching measures.
Working for Kurtz Ersa means being involved in the development of our markets, and in technologies, products and processes. Everything is in a state of flux, moving ever faster. Not to fear! We at Kurtz Ersa are a strong team. We are facing up to the challenges, regarding change primarily as an opportunity to develop even further towards the goal of technological leadership.
In all this, our focus remains on our customers’ manufacturing processes, for which we develop further standard solutions and tailored production systems. 2015 was, once again, a very successful year. We would like to express our thanks to our customers and business partners and, of course, to all our staff. We hope you enjoy reading these articles and thank you most warmly for your cooperation!
Good luck! Yours Rainer Kurtz
