Our work environment

International yet familiar

Lenze is an international, family-owned company. The informal atmosphere is what makes Lenze special.

On the one hand, the opportunities of a global firm, and on the other, togetherness.

We network and learn from each other; this is diversity at work at Lenze.

Our employee benefits at a glance:

Work-life balance

There are just as many lifestyles at Lenze as there are Lenze employees. The term work-life balance has a different meaning for each individual. Some focus on the time they can spend with their children or caring for relatives. For other employees, the focus is on leisure activities, travel or sport. We therefore create a working environment that gives our staff the freedom to design their very own work-life balance. Because we understand that family and friends are a valuable part of our employees' lives.

Family and career

Family is important to us!

The balancing act between personal and professional challenges is not an easy one. We therefore attach great importance to creating a family-friendly working environment.

The options we offer vary by country and site in order to meet the local requirements.

At our German sites, for example, we offer:

  • A variety of part-time working options based upon the number of hours worked and scope of duties
  • Working from home, if the role permits
  • A tax-free childcare subsidy of up to EUR 100 per month for a maximum of 12 months
  • A welcome bonus for newborn children of EUR 500 gross
  • Information about suitable care services in the region - in collaboration with local authorities.
  • Contact during parental leave, to attend operational training courses, for example
  • Nationwide consultations and mediation for those experiencing difficulties with child care, in collaboration with Eltern-Service AWO GmbH
Health

Working healthily at Lenze - holistic, modern and with team spirit

Our occupational health management (OHM) takes a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional health offerings. We create a working environment that promotes physical well-being, mental strength and team spirit - modern, sustainable and with real added value for our employees.

Movement that connects

Whether in the office, when working on the move or in production - movement should be a central part of our everyday lives. With the EGYM Wellpass, we offer access to a Germany-wide network of gyms, swimming pools and sports facilities. Our regular "Active Break" courses bring exercise directly to the workplace - uncomplicated, effective and together with colleagues. The offer is supplemented by internal training therapy and our popular "Lenze Bewegt" challenge series, which focuses on team spirit and the fun of exercise.

Focus on mental health

We know that mental health is just as important as physical fitness. That's why we offer psychosocial counseling around the clock with our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - anonymous, professional and available at any time. In addition, our company social counseling service is available as a trusted contact for personal and professional challenges.

Health skills our variety of health impulses:

In addition, we offer the opportunity to expand your own knowledge on a wide range of health topics with online training courses or life talks, for example.

More than just a workplace

Health begins in everyday life - which is why we also support our employees with small but effective extras: free water and fresh fruit, a wide range of company sports activities and a canteen with sustainable, balanced meals. And those who like to cycle to work benefit from our attractive bike leasing offer.

Personal development

Setting milestones. Your development at Lenze.

Your qualifications and expertise are the cornerstone for our joint success. We provide individual support, tailored to your tasks and needs.

An extensive development programme is available, comprising seminars, workshops, training courses and teambuilding. These take place in the Lenze Forum, our Internal Centre for 森林舞会游戏, Communication and Information, or in specialist seminars and conventions held by external providers.

Lenze Development Programme

The internal Lenze Development Programme is one element of our personal development offer. It promotes interdisciplinary dialogue, provides international networking opportunities and creates an understanding of the challenges facing other sites.

Over a period of two years, talented and committed Lenzians complete various learning modules and related projects from different divisions of the company, such as strategy, sales & marketing or finance & controlling. The aim is to develop personal skills such as entrepreneurial thinking, the implementation of innovative ideas and strategic knowledge. Regular feedback and coaching enhance self-reflection. Informal discussions with our management team complete the programme.

International reach

The opportunity to operate and network worldwide.

Whether you are seeking a new challenge abroad or enjoy collaborating as part of worldwide interdisciplinary teams: Lenze offers a wide range of options if you are looking for a new challenge. Tackle future issues and tasks in an intercultural project team and actively shape our overseas business.

Overcoming boundaries. Learning from one another.

The Lenze Exchange Programme. The internal exchange programme supports intercultural changes of perspective. It promotes a better understanding of various different requirements and expectations in terms of communication and cooperation. For three to six weeks, employees swap jobs and work on a specific local project, thereby gaining valuable experience with overseas colleagues.

Keeping up-to-date - more sharing, more networking.

Sharing local knowledge is an opportunity to gain valuable experience. International events such as our Automation System Days bring together Lenzians from around the world. The emphasis is on networking and learning. As well as specific industry knowledge, these training courses also cover the digital engineering process and digital challenges. But an ongoing exchange is also part of everyday professional life. Working together across borders to find solutions – technology makes this possible.

Innovative working environments

Innovative working environments – achieving more together.

Lenze is breaking new ground with the Mechatronic Competence Campus, which we opened at our Extertal site in 2022. At over 60 million euros, the MCC is the largest single investment in the company's history. At the MCC, we are bringing together the fields of electronics and electromechanics in order to accelerate processes from development to production. In the MCC, we bring together what belongs together so that interdisciplinary teams can develop and produce sophisticated mechatronics technician systems even faster for our customers around the globe. At the same time, we optimise our logistics with our automated high-bay warehouse.

The Mechatronic Competence Campus (MCC) as a model.

DOCK ONE – where digital ideas become reality.

DOCK ONE is the joint think tank of Lenze and encoway. Digitalisation concepts for Industry 4.0 projects will be successfully managed here along with digital business models and products. DOCK ONE continues our positive growth and builds on the benefits of our Bremen site.

Awards

Setting an example for our staff

We repeatedly receive confirmation that Lenze is an attractive place to work. We have again received the "Top Employer Germany" and "Top Employer for Engineers" awards from the independent Top Employers Institute. Our training programme has also received the "Best Place to Learn" award on several occasions. We are extremely proud of this. Of course, not everything is perfect here, but we are constantly working to improve and develop ourselves.

In addition, Lenze is a member of the Fair Company Initiative for interns. Fair Company firms show their commitment to recognised quality standards and verifiable procedures during internships. They are awarded the annual Fair Company seal of approval for this responsible, transparent culture.
