Positive Experience with Part-time Work for Older Employees
Following renegotiation of the conditions for part-time work
for older employees in 2005, 114 employees took up the
attractive package in the review year and concluded a part-
time work contract.
Since the vacant positions are mainly filled with qualified trai-
nees, the average age of the workforce is decreasing. Know-
how transfer also promotes the younger generation’s develop-
ment. The part-time hours model for older employees ensures
the company’s competitiveness and relieves the strain on the
labor market. Thus, part-time work for older employees is a
successful bridge between the generations, i.e. between em-
ployees who are beginning their well-earned retirement and
young people, who will be looking for a job at Porsche once
they have completed their training.
A total of 1,052 employees have signed up for part-time
working since the model was introduced. On July 31, 2006,
222 of these employees were at the zero hours phase. In
the 2006/07 business year, employees aged 55 or more
also have the option of signing a part-time work agreement.
Health Measures: Looking to the Future
In the review year, a “Corporate Pandemic Preparedness Plan”
to enable a prompt and efficient response to epidemic diseases
was drawn up for the first time. It is based on the World Health
Organization’s pandemic plan.
Environmental protection has been continually improved. In the
context of an environmental management system, employees’
skills have been defined in areas of particular relevance to
the environment and their qualifications and knowledge further
improved. Company representatives were appointed in the
areas of waste, waterway protection, dangerous substances
and emissions protection. They are responsible for providing
expert advice during the plant planning, approvals and opera-
tion phases. They furthermore monitor compliance with en-
vironmental regulations and support the process of continual
improvement in environmental protection.
A Thank-you to our Employees
The ambitious objectives which Porsche set itself in this ac-
counting year have been achieved and even surpassed. The
Committee is aware that this was only possible due to the
above-average commitment and high level of flexibility on the
part of the workforce and a strong awareness of the quality
of their own work. The Board expresses its personal thanks
to all our employees for their hard work.
This success could not have been achieved without a fair ba-
lance of interests based on a readiness to compromise. The
Board would therefore also like to thank all the employees’
elected representatives, who acted with sound judgement in
looking after their colleagues’ best interests, and thereby adopt-
ed the successful approach of a pragmatic and open dialog.
