8 CORPORATE AND REPORT PROFILE

Employment culture and personnel development
[GRI 401 ] RAFI offers its employees a wide variety
of training and further training geared toward future
needs while also providing attractive social security
benefits, a modern working environment, and flexible
working hours. In more than 4,000 qualification activ-
ities per year, our employees can keep themselves
up to date with the latest knowledge. Our RIMA
model for in-house professional training won the Ger-
man Bildungspreis (education award). This program
offers our skilled employees further on-the-job train-
ing. Our screening process for leadership potential of
young employees allows us to provide our staff with
the best opportunities for career advancement. In our
entire corporate group, there are currently around 67
trainees, retrainees, and cooperative study students
undergoing training and obtaining qualifications for
various occupational fields. In Germany, we work
with the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State Uni-
versity (DHBW) in the implementation of cooperative
courses of study and enable students to gain practi-
cal experience as work students. We also enable stu-
dents at our German locations to gain practical expe-
rience as work students or interns. Students can
write their final papers with our support. In our in-
house training center in Weingarten, training courses
tailored to today’s electronics production require-
ments are organized in cooperation with the Electron-
ics Soldering Technology Training Association (AVLE).
