Working at Hamburg Süd
Work–life balance
Achieving the right balance between professional commitment and personal life is important. That’s why Hamburg Süd offers employees the option of flexible working hours. There are also a multitude of health and fitness offerings, including company sports teams, an in-house fitness center, and workspaces equipped with the latest ergonomic equipment. Regular health days on topics such as nutritional diet or stress management complete the picture. All our ships have gyms on board to enable crews to stay fit. Individual requests are also taken into consideration when scheduling, for example to plan in regular stops on land.
The scope of services may vary between regions and countries.
Social benefits
The employees of Hamburg Süd are paid according to the prevailing collective wage agreements. Together with the year-end (“thirteenth month”) bonus, the voluntary company-performance-related bonus, and additional shipping-related bonuses, this makes for an attractive remuneration. Our employees also enjoy benefits such as:
- Travel and commuting subsidies (e.g. the HVV-ProfiCard for public transportation in Hamburg)
- Subsidized dining in the company cafeteria at the Hamburg site
- Capital accumulation benefits
- Occupational accident insurance (also valid when not working)
- Wedding and maternity benefits
- Monetary awards on company anniversaries
The remuneration system and social benefits may vary between regions and countries, and between on land and at sea.
Personal development
Hamburg Süd promotes the personal development of its employees around the globe, on land and at sea. We offer seminars, workshops, and Web-based training to expand and hone our employees’ professional and personal skills and competencies. Certification and training programs offered alongside their work also prepare our employees to handle new responsibilities. This is how Hamburg Süd trains future managers from within our own ranks and helps experienced managers to continue to develop. As a global company, we also offer project-related and longer-term, work-abroad programs that give our employees the chance to live in any of about 100 countries.
