"focusing on people – learning and growing"
More than 50 years ago, Ludwig Szinicz founded the company TGW and he followed a vision that puts our people in the focus. This vision is a defining element of our company culture. Our values form the basis for our collaboration and the long-term success of TGW.
Our Austrian locations offer a variety of benefits to our employees:
EXPATRIATION PROGRAMM
Our international exchange programme enables employees to spend time overseas at one of TGW's 24 locations around the world.
In this way we foster international cooperation, the exchange of knowledge among our units and the further development of our employees' intercultural and language skills.
Training & development
Through our comprehensive training concept, lifelong learning and growth in both professional and personal terms are firmly embedded in our company philosophy. We therefore offer our employees a wide range of additional training opportunities, in the form of both face-to-face trainings and eLearning courses:
- International trainings offered by the TGW Academy, especially in the areas of technical competence training, personal development, management development and much more.
- Local training programmes
- Extensive onboarding programmes for new employees: coaching, mentoring, buddy system, information about eLearning courses, management training, personal development interviews and much more.
- Scholarships, internships and supervision for master theses & final year projects
- Apprenticeship training
Work environment
A work environment with state-of-the-art equipment offers our employees the necessary space for individual development. This also helps us create a pleasant atmosphere conducive to working together in agile teams.
HOME OFFICE
Our flexible home office model makes it possible to find the ideal balance between working at the office and from home. Employees can spend up to about half of their working time in the home office. We offer different options depending on the employee's department, including hybrid working and remote working.
Flexible working hours
The reconciliation of family and work is of particular importance at TGW. In order to support our employees in this regard and to allow maximum flexibility in their daily work routine, we offer flexible working hours, a generous home office model, and more.
Catering & employee restaurant
Employee restaurants, working cafés and fresh fruit ensure the well-being of our employees by providing them with sufficient energy during their workday.
Health promotion
Health management and promotion are a particular concern of ours. That's why we offer things like
- Fitness studios
- Fitness courses
- Cooperation with external fitness studios
- Massage services
- Company doctors
- Occupational psychological support
TGW ACTIVITY GARDEN
Physical activity and outdoor meetings are the perfect contrast to everyday office work. The TGW Activity Garden in Marchtrenk makes that unique combination possible. The 9,000 m² outdoor space includes an area for playing football and basketball, a fitness pavilion, a giant Motorikpark®, a running track, barbecue areas and outdoor office pavilions for work in teams. TGW employees can use the Activity Garden during both work and their free time, with colleagues or with their families.
Family-friendly company
We promote the reconciliation of work and family. Important aspects of that include parental leave, paternity month, parental part-time work and supporting new parents as they make the transition back to work.
We also offer other family-friendly initiatives such as the company childcare facility (called the "TGW Zwergennest” in German) and the TGWkids-Ferienbetreuung holiday childcare program during the summer months.
Dual employee participation
Taking on responsibility and partaking in the success of the company: that duality lies at the heart of TGW's dual employee participation. We very much appreciate our employees' commitment, so at the end of a successful business year we offer each employee the choice between three options: money, additional days of leave or attractive healthcare options.
TEAM & COMMUNITY
Collaboration in multicultural teams across departments is of central importance throughout the entire TGW Group. We appreciate each individual's contribution and treat each other with friendliness and respect. By treating each other with high regard, we lay the foundation for a trusting relationship. Thus we live and work in an error culture of open feedback. We see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow together.
Mobility & transport connections
All of our locations have good transport connections as well as sufficient free parking. On top of that, a shuttle service ensures regular transportation between our Wels and Marchtrenk locations as well as to and from the Marchtrenk train station. We also recently placed e-bikes at our employees' disposal so that they can ride between the two locations; the bikes are also available on the weekends.
Additional benefits & discounts
TGW employees profit from additional benefits and discounts in many areas:
- Possibility of private additional insurance, travel insurance, accident insurance, pension fund on favourable terms and conditions
- TGW collection: high-quality sports and business products with subtle TGW branding at reduced prices
Onboarding Programme
Not only do new employees participate in a welcoming event on their first day of work, but after that we consider it very important to continue supporting them throughout the onboarding process. The buddy system ensures that each new employee has a colleague assigned to them to act as a coach and mentor for the first few months. In addition, a training plan involving both digital and in-person training helps structure the employees' entry into the company. Employees can discuss further development steps individually with their supervisors.
