Corporate culture

Generation CLAAS.

Even though we are active all around the globe and manufacture our products at eleven sites worldwide, we still remain a family company. A company which offers everyone a fertile foundation for a successful future.

Those of us who work at CLAAS put our hearts and souls into our work and we are highly committed. We have a shared understanding of teamwork, partnership and being able to rely on each other. This commitment to fulfilling our respective responsibilities is taken very seriously by our staff. There is a good reason why the people who work for us are happy to call themselves Claasians: They extremely identify themselves with our company.

In the long term, new expertise can only develop if the right structures are in place. One important factor in this respect is being able to rely on your employer. We are very proud that length of employment is valued very highly at our company. 85 % of our employees never leave.

Our principles of management and working together

Respected

Every CLAAS employee deserves to be respected as a person and recognized for the work that he or she does.

Involved

Working together cooperatively in our company requires that staff is involved both in forming opinions and in making decisions.

Reliable

CLAAS employees work together based on credibility, loyalty and trust.

Prepared to change

As a company, we will be especially successful if we understand and view constant change as an opportunity. 

Diversity at CLAAS.

CLAAS is more than powerful machines. It is the passion of the people who make the decisive contribution to the success of our company. Passion of people from different nations and cultures, with and without disabilities, young and old and of all genders. People like us. Diversity makes us creative, allows us to think outside the box and offers us many opportunities.

  • Genuine equal opportunities.

    With us there are no limits. No matter what gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and identity: Only competence and expertise decide on the areas of work and responsibility at CLAAS. Because we offer genuine equal opportunities and equal rights. We actively stand up for this. For example, every year we explicitly invite female talents to a CLAAS Female Day and encourage them to enter our branch.

  • Generation as tradition.

    We are a family owned enterprise. In some cases, more than three generations of a family work together at CLAAS. And we want to keep it that way. We ensure this through systematic health management as well as through training and development opportunities. Experience meets fresh wind - a future-oriented strategy.

  • People make CLAAS.

    We offer our employees a variety of opportunities. Disabilities are not a factor here. CLAAS promotes diversity. We support everyone on the basis of their strengths and abilities. We create cohesion through the exchange of skills and close cooperation.

  • Around the world.

    You can expect an international working environment at CLAAS. At 35 locations in 19 countries, we are driven by the desire to achieve ever better harvests through efficient and innovative agricultural technology. As a worldwide operating company, we bring together people of different nationalities and ethnic origins. We unite people. People of all origins, religions and beliefs. The diverse views and ways of thinking help to overcome challenges and learn from each other.

  • The characteristics which define us:

    Creative

    CLAAS is a company which became a big player thanks to its pioneering innovations. Our countless awards and patents are evidence of this. Ideas that work are ideas which make a difference for our customers.
    As an employee of our company, you will have the freedom to make your own impact, to be creative and to think within a product and process world which acknowledges your ambitions and commitment.

    Open-minded

    An atmosphere of interdependent value creation: CLAAS is a communicative company which is open to everything and places no limits on teamwork. We are intercultural and interdisciplinary. We appreciate individual expertise. Together, we develop our machines and products.
    A corporate culture which works successfully at an international level - because it promotes cooperation beyond the individual company locations. We are experts in taking advantage of the diversity of different approaches.

    Committed

    Further education and training are part of our tradition and are highly valued. New opportunities arise constantly in the various CLAAS companies throughout the world. Whether you are a recent graduate, have recently completed a training programme, whether you are a specialist or a generalist.
    We offer you good perspectives for your future ‒ on the job, off the job or even, for example, in the management of projects. Well-planned, systematic human resource development forms the basis for your next steps.

    Enthusiastic

    People are fascinated by our machines all around the world. Our combine harvesters, forage harvesters and tractors operate in over 140 different countries. CLAAS has become a household name in many different languages. This sounds promising. Particularly for those who have an international outlook. We are familiar with the activities and requirements of our customers throughout the world from our own experience. We are present locally. Stays abroad provide opportunities for successful CLAAS careers. Opportunities which could be a good fit for you.

    Dependable

    When facing big challenges, perseverance is what counts. As a family company, we are set up perfectly for this philosophy. That's because we are independent. We plan and invest for the long term. In terms of our employees, this means that we stand behind our decisions and offer a stable future with greater continuity and security.
    Dependability and motivation mean better results. And extremely low staff turnover levels. Becoming a CLAAS employee means that you have finally arrived. Find out by yourself.
