„Company meets school“ at CJD grammar school

Roles reversed: At the „Company Meets School“ (CMS) event at CJD Grammar School in Versmold, it wasn’t the students who presented themselves, but the companies who presented their training opportunities. We were there too.

Our Management Assistant and Training Coordinator, Jessica Obst, teamed up with one of our trainees to give around 250 young adults the ins and outs of the training opportunities at Thermotraffic. They had 25 minutes to make their pitch before the next company took over.

Over 24 companies from Versmold and the wider region pitched themselves. Companies from the worlds of engineering, food production, media, public services, finance, construction and logistics were present. Thermotraffic has been taking part in the event since 2022 and we’ll be there again next year.

Maintaining and improving health

As an employer, we are committed to helping our employees maintain, improve and enhance their health. Our Employee Wellbeing Programme (EWP) is designed to support them. It was rolled out across all our offices at the end of October.

We wanted to raise awareness among our employees about the importance of exercise, nutrition and mental health. To do this, we ran online workshops and a survey to get a better understanding of our employees‘ current health habits. The EWP team used this data to develop a range of tailored health initiatives. These include company fitness programmes and a „Healthy Leadership“ module for managers and team leaders. We also plan to introduce measures to increase employee satisfaction and improve teamwork in the company.
