The media industry is going through an even bigger transformation than many other industries due to the advance of digitalization. This is why our corporate culture is characterized by a willingness to adapt. It is therefore a matter of course that, as an employer, we seek to create conditions in the personnel arena that support this process and accommodate the individual interests of our employees. After all, our employees are the basis of our economic success. With an attractive overall offer that includes remuneration in line with the market standard, additional benefits, individual development opportunities and a pleasant working environment, we want to recruit and retain dedicated and qualified employees within ProSiebenSat.1 Group and motivate them to achieve exceptional results.

We set high standards in recruiting and use a range of tools. In addition to the careers site www.karriere.prosiebensat1.com as a central platform with an extensive relaunch in 2018, which went live at the beginning of 2019, and the digital job recommendation program Talentry, ProSiebenSat.1 uses other sourcing channels such as social media, direct contact and college marketing. With campaigns like “Claim New Grounds” and “Connect.Code.Create”, we are also pushing the targeting of potential candidates with digital or IT expertise. Our employer branding concept aims to deliver the best “candidate experience” for all our target groups in the labor market. Recruiting and employer branding, Selected employer rankings

We are continuously preparing qualified junior staff for the Group through various training courses. With our internships, trainee programs, Chamber of Industry and Commerce apprenticeships and dual courses of study, there is a range of ways for talented young people to get started in our company. Alongside training, continued development is a key component of the ProSiebenSat.1 human resources strategy. Employees are supported in this by their manager and by a variety of development opportunities. Employees and managers discuss the selection of appropriate measures in target and development meetings. People development

We also offer a range of flexible components that allow employees to individually shape their working hours and location so that they can reconcile their professional and private lives. Our company agreements thus aim to achieve an adequate work-life balance. Our staff also benefit from a host of social and fringe benefits. At the main site in Unterföhring, for example, we have our own day-care center. We also focus on health and sport. Number of employees in part-time employment (Group, Germany, ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE)

Likewise, at 6,532 employees (previous year: 6,452), the average number of employees in the reporting period was about the same as the previous year.

Employment

• GRI 401-1 New employee hires and employee turnover

To calculate the turnover rate, the number of employees who left during the reporting period is divided by the number of employees on the reporting date of December 31. The reasons for leaving include terminations and severance agreements. Departures due to fixed-term contracts, the end of an apprenticeship, entering retirement and death are not taken into account.

Labor/Management Relations

• GRI 402-1 Minimum notice periods regarding operational changes

The notice period for operational changes is usually one month.

Occupational Health and Safety

• GRI 403-3 Employees with a high frequency or high risk of work-related ill health

Most employees of ProSiebenSat.1 do not work in a production environment. They are therefore only exposed to risks related to their occupation to a minor degree. However, we are aware of other potential health risks that could arise from work-related stress, a lack of physical activity or incorrect posture, for example. We therefore offer various training courses on self and time management, which help our employees better organize their everyday working routine and their work environment. In addition, the Group provides guidance on how to sit correctly and sport facilities to encourage physical activity.
