Working at Ottobock
Mobility for people
Enjoying life and being independent day-to-day – many of us take it for granted, and it should be possible for people with limited mobility as well. Our products help people regain their mobility.
Finding the appropriate solution for the individual’s respective needs is a major, exciting task for our team of over 9,000 employees around the world. And we tackle this task together.
Successful collaboration – based on shared values
Equal opportunities for all
Equality and equal rights for women are key components of our corporate philosophy at Ottobock. We’re convinced that increasing the number of female managers and women in management positions will move our company and society forwards. Georgia Näder, Vice President of Futuring Mediterranee & Business Transition and member of the owner family, and Maria Keller, Head of Financial Planning and Analysis, launched the internal network EmpowHERment to support women in the company.
Regular digital sessions offer space to network with each other, to be inspired and to learn from each other. In addition to the existing know-how within the company, the network also benefits from the expertise of external guests. By sharing experiences and challenges, a supportive environment is created in which women grow together in all positions of the company.
