/ THE AUDI GROUP’S HUMAN RESOURCES POLICY
The mission “We delight customers worldwide” at the core
of our Strategy 2020 also represents a key task area for the
Audi Group’s Human Resources division. Commitment, exper-
tise and the demand-oriented training of our employees are
among the key factors.
To achieve the strategic goal “Attractive employer worldwide,”
Audi aims to create the right general and working conditions
and a customized human resources structure in all divisions.
To that end, it is important to establish an environment that is
both conducive to a good economic performance and meets the
needs of the workforce. The goal of human resources work is
therefore to focus on the individual. A culture of codetermina-
tion is the basis for the economic success of the Company.
Another important element of human resources policy is to
translate Audi’s success into success for all employees. The
management and Works Council have therefore agreed on a
profit-sharing arrangement based partly on the previous year’s
profit and partly on the attainment of specific goals. There are
corresponding profit-sharing systems at Audi subsidiaries in
Germany and abroad. These are determined independently by
the management of the subsidiaries and on the basis of local
pay levels.
/ OVER 3,000 EMPLOYEES NEWLY
RECRUITED AT AUDI AG
AUDI AG took on a total of 3,091 new employees in the 2013
fiscal year. 1,003 experts, 27 percent of whom are women,
were recruited primarily for the innovation areas of lightweight
construction, connectivity and electric mobility, and to support
the development of new sites. 1,332 skilled workers were also
taken on as permanent employees, in most cases after having
been hired on a temporary basis. The Company also welcomed
756 young people starting their vocational training or a dual
course of study at its Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations.
/ ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER WORLDWIDE – TOP
RANKINGS AGAIN IN ATTRACTIVENESS SURVEYS
We continued to pursue the strategic corporate goal of
“Attractive employer worldwide” consistently and sustainably
in the 2013 fiscal year. The Company again finished at the top
of the prestigious employer rankings compiled by the consul-
tants Universum and trendence to find Germany’s most popular
employer and conducted among both students and young
professionals with engineering and economics degrees. In the
IT category, Audi was the only car manufacturer to achieve a
top three ranking among the experienced professionals surveyed
by Universum (“The Universum German Student Survey 2013,”
May 2, 2013; “trendence Graduate Barometer 2013 – Business
und Engineering Edition,” May 15, 2013).
