Overall arvato has 68,000 employees and takes great pride in offering exciting job roles worldwide . “ One thing that attracts employees to the company is global exposure and opportunity ,” says Klapper . “ Many of our employees enjoy the fact that their role is challenging and they have a lot of responsibility and authority early on in their careers with the company .”
“ It is our understanding that Gen Y employees look for this over and above financial incentives , so we have been very successful with our recruitment and retention strategies . We have adopted this approach for a long time , while some of our competitors are only just realising the shift ,” he says .
In the next five years , the company plans to continue on its growth trajectory , while realigning its portfolio . “ We will actively remove activities within the business that are becoming cumbersome and conversely , we will invest heavily in growth verticals ,” says Klapper . As always , IT and technology will be at the top of the agenda . arvato SCM is an ambitious and smart company ; it is forward thinking and innovative , but it will not rest on its laurels . This combination is a winning one . www . arvato . co . uk 57
