Dear colleague, Thank you very much for your positive review of our #BASFHubBerlin. We are very proud of our hybrid working models and flexible working hours, because we have worked passionately on these benefits in the past. It's nice to see that you appreciate these benefits as much as we do! A long-term training and the further education of our employees is very important to us, which is why we offer a large portfolio of digital training opportunities, regular development meetings, an internal job market and our talent journey. These options are freely accessible to everyone on the intranet. We are bound by a collective agreement regarding our remuneration – but in the past we have created a large number of other monetary incentives such as annual performance-related bonus payments. Since feedback is essential for us and the further development of our site, please feel free to contact us internally if you have any further suggestions. Of course, we treat your data anonymously. We wish you all the best in our #TeamBASF! Warm regards, Mareike G. – Local HR Berlin #TeamBASF
