Enable, create, inspire – that’s what we strive to achieve through our work at Bertelsmann. This shared purpose provides guidance to our employees, leaders, customers and partners alike. It serves as a compass for our work, through which we help shape society.
Our leaders take responsibility for both the success of our businesses and that of our people. Guided by the Bertelsmann Essentials – Creativity and Entrepreneurship – our leadership principles show us the way: to inspire our employees to grow, achieve results responsibly and actively shape our future.
INSPIRE TO GROW – EXECUTE WITH PURPOSE – SHAPE OUR FUTURE

In addition to diverse learning opportunities, Bertelsmann University offers you relevant content and formats to expand your skills and prepare for future challenges. Beyond acquiring critical capabilities, you will also learn to think more innovatively, imaginatively and critically – to question conventions and discover new possibilities.

Creativity
Ideas are our passion. We challenge the status quo, open new paths and see mistakes as part of the creative process. The key to creativity lies in the diversity of people and the way they inspire one another through their different opinions and perspectives.

Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial freedom is essential to taking risks, bringing ideas to life and assuming responsibility with courage, foresight and determination. We empower our employees to make independent business decisions and provide them with a fair and healthy working environment built on mutual respect and trust.

We value our commonalities as much as our differences. The diverse backgrounds and perspectives of our employees are the foundation of our creativity. In our inclusive work environment, everyone can be themselves, question the status quo and try new things.

Our employee network be.queer promotes openness for all, regardless of sexual identity or orientation. We create opportunities for people with disabilities, foster their employment and integrate them as fully valued colleagues. The Group Representative Body for Employees with Disabilities at Bertelsmann raises awareness and drives inclusion in practice.

We take responsibility for our employees, society and the environment – with the aim of shaping a better future. To this end, we have launched an ambitious global program that focuses on areas such as healthy and inspiring working conditions, learning and development, community engagement at our locations and achieving our climate target by 2030.

We support you with offerings around work-life balance and comprehensive health management – including initiatives for mental health.
And that’s just the beginning: flexible working models, individualized training opportunities – at Bertelsmann you’ll find many benefits that fit your life and take your career to the next level.
