Vitesco Technologies - Careers

Supporting colleagues in their work is somehow in my DNA. Therefore, I decided to join the L.E.A.N. network as a coach. L.E.A.N. is a crucial part of our company’s philosophy, that fosters continuous improvement and helps our colleagues and business to eliminate work related waste. L.E.A.N. stands for Lean. Excellence. Agile. Network., and is supported by our strong coach network. 

As a L.E.A.N. coach, I am on the lookout for problems that slow down my colleagues and eliminate them. In order to do that, I apply classical methods such as waste and process flow analysis, to identify and question the status quo. Since L.E.A.N. is all about continuous improvement, I try to make work processes easier and more beneficial. A key ingredient is to carefully listen, to frame my colleagues’ struggles and to find its root cause. The challenge is to stay vigilant, in order to figure out our next target and yet to act with empathy. My personal mission is to encourage our colleagues to engage with the core problem and search for solutions. Overall, our intention is to make our lives easier; yet keeping the quality up and increasing our pace!

I believe that we should concentrate on shifting back the responsibility and freedom to the employees’ level, to allow them to do whatever is necessary to get the tasks done. For this reason, my main challenge as a L.E.A.N. coach is to raise the courage in our managers to trust their employees and support them in tearing down the old walls. 

Being a part of this organization for 6 years now, I am convinced this is possible!

Honestly - I totally appreciate being part of team Vitesco! I experience it as a huge package of privileges. But you know, there is more in life than just work. For me it is also family, sports, and community! 😊
