Our Corporate Culture

We're a family-run company

Basically, it's the connections with people that give life its value.*

*Wilhelm von Humboldt, 1767 – 1835

Family business

In our family business, every employee counts. Only together can we achieve success. Boldly breaking new ground, we develop the technologies for the future. We try things out, make mistakes, learn from them, and continue to innovate. Our values give us the support we need and shape our common culture.

Making an attempt and failing will at least bring you a gain in knowledge and experience. Risking nothing, on the other hand, means accepting an incalculable loss - the loss of the profit that the risk might have yielded.

Chester I. Barnard, 1886 - 1961

US-American manager and sociological management theorist

We need the freedom to be bold. HARTING creates this freedom, while taking the most diverse lifestyles into account. Our values connect part-time heroes, power women and globetrotters.
Because as an international company, we have a cosmopolitan outlook. It depends on each individual. This attitude enables us to go to work with a smile, shape the future with joy in our work, and go home with a good feeling.

Career paths

Intelligent connections for a successful future

Organisational talent, number cruncher or inventor? We promote the varied goals and talents of our employees with internal and external training. We also successfully and emphatically support unusual career paths. Every career path is different – we find the best one together. The choice is wide: including entry-level programmes, training and further education projects, and study programmes. Because nothing motivates people more than the opportunity to develop themselves.

Whether apprenticeship or degree-based study, whether craftsman or merchant – we welcome all professions and value the strengths and experiences that they bring us.

Pioneers

We shape the future.

We offer students in the USA a toolbox and a handbook suitable for their profession with our "Internal Development Programme". In practical projects alongside professional mentors, our interns are able to develop skills that are important during the start of their careers. This helps to answer very basic questions such as "Is this profession the right one for me?" "We are repeatedly thrilled by the passion with which these students dedicate themselves to their projects. That's why we then offer many of them the possibility to take advantage of further career opportunities at HARTING" states Nancy Lesnicki, talent acquisition specialist.

Opportunity provider

Welcome to HARTING

Approximately 100 employees work at our factory in Switzerland. Since 2018, we have been providing people from difficult life situations the opportunity to integrate into the primary labour market. These include refugees, people who have long-term unemployment or sicknesses, and people with disabilities. The first step is an internship, sometimes followed by a temporary or permanent position.
