Fair pay & benefits

It is important to us to acknowledge our employees’ commitment and performance through appropriate remuneration in line with the market as well as comprehensive company benefits. Our global job level model and the associated remuneration system help create transparency and enable comparison of pay across all areas of the company.

The overall package for our employees also includes monetary and non-monetary company benefits such as a share in the company’s success, lifelong working-time accounts, company pension schemes and family-oriented services as part of our family service.

Diversity & equal opportunities

SMA is committed to diversity and equal opportunities. We see the diversity of our employees as an asset to our company. In joining the “Charta der Vielfalt” (Diversity Charter) in 2011, we undertook to create a work environment in which all employees have the same opportunities for development, regardless of gender, nationality, religion or ideology, disability, age or sexual orientation. In particular, we have set ourselves ambitious targets for increasing the proportion of women in the overall workforce and in management positions, and we are promoting gender diversity and cultural diversity in the company with targeted measures.
