Social Responsibility at pme
Your Caring Company

The “pme donates” fundraising campaign has been in place since 2020: pme team members can nominate nonprofit organizations in the areas of “international development aid,” “social work,” “climate and animal protection,” and “culture”—which they actively support—to receive a donation. All team members then vote on the organizations they want to support. 

Through its social fund, pme Familienservice stands in solidarity with its employees when events such as serious illness or accidents, the death of an employee, or financial losses due to force majeure result in acute emergencies that cannot be resolved through their own efforts.

In the event of sudden crises or emergencies, an employer loan from pme Familienservice can provide team members with help and support—up to €2,600, even interest-free.

The employee suggestion program gives our team members the opportunity to actively participate in the further development of the pme Familienservice Group and its products. Team members can submit suggestions for improvement and, under certain conditions, receive a cash bonus.

For pme, participation is not only a socially relevant issue, but also an important part of our corporate culture. We strengthen democracy in our day-to-day work, actively involve our employees, and view diversity as a strength. That’s why our colleagues can receive training to become participation facilitators and democracy guides.

​​​​​​​In this way, we continuously develop our structures, offerings, and forms of collaboration—openly, with an eye toward the future, and together with the people who make up pme.

Our Employee Representative Council (MAIV) serves as a mediator within the pme Familienservice Group. It advocates for the interests of team members and acts as a bridge between team members, managers, and executive management. The goal is to create and maintain a pleasant work environment with attractive working conditions. 

Among other things, the MAIV is there for team members to address questions regarding salary or employment contracts and to resolve conflicts within the team or with a supervisor; upon request, it also provides support during employee reviews.
