Sara Lee/DE is a growth company. Every day we confront new challenges: be it at production, marketing, finance, communication, research or any other functional area. At the same time our geographical spread requires us to act and react to developments all over the world. As a result of our entrepreneurial philosophy we challenge our people at all levels to tackle opportunities and threats even beyond their direct functional scope. Therefore, our offer to candidate employees is simple and demanding at the same time: we offer a world of challenging and responsible jobs.
  To enable employees to perform and grow, Sara Lee/DE has schooling and management development programs in place. In cooperation with a direct superior and/or the Human Resources department individual employees set targets for personal development. Depending on the level and type of job, growth can be sought by new tasks, enlarged responsibilities, job-rotation, international careers or cross-overs from one functional area to another. Young graduates can apply for the Flying Start program, an international trainee program for potential future management.
 Sara Lee/DE's payment and benefits packages are competitive in all markets and functional areas. We value our employees' time and energy. Depending on the type of function, remuneration systems can be partially performance-related. Last but not least, Sara Lee/DE is a supporter of a healthy work/life balance for its employees. Centrally established policies are implemented decentrally. Operating Companies are thus stimulated to work on work/life balance issues on the basis of local needs. As local needs vary, the means to address these are variable too. Work/life balance initiatives for instance include flex-working and childcare arrangements.
