BSH Celebrates the Groundbreaking of its First Factory in Egypt and the African Continent

As one of the worldwide leading manufacturers of home appliances, we’re always on the move. Whether it’s innovative technologies, the latest work methods, exciting seminars or our involvement in the protection of natural resources. We have a lot of stories to tell. Here on our corporate blog these stories have their place. Have fun reading and discovering them!
What is the secret of success if you want to tap into a new market? Ayushi Rawat and Florian Arnold from the BSH Cooking Team in the Region Emerging Markets discovered the answer and have developed an oven for Egypt that really packs a punch. Click here and find out more!
Wearing a yellow outfit for a professional group photo while everyone else is wearing black – if standing out at work seems simple to you, it can be a sign that you work in a diverse and healthy work environment. However, not in all companies individuality and differences are encouraged as a part of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (short: DEI) strategy. BSH launched the campaign “Nominate Your Diversity Champion” to create visibility for each colleague who fosters these values as part of their daily occupation. Today, we present the interview with one of our nominees, Annabelle Cao, Head of Human Resources Greater China, about the importance of psychological safety for our teams.
How will the geopolitical situation change in the next ten years? What will our consumers' everyday lives look like in the future? What topics will move them in the future? And what are the expectations and needs that home appliances will have to meet in the future? Those who are aware of possible developments in the future can adapt to them flexibly and increase their resilience. But providing answers to tomorrow's questions today seems impossible. Christian Beck and Amira Füssel from the "Foresight Management" department disagree. Because they have looked into the future for BSH and developed four possible global future scenarios, which are intended to help us anticipate major developments. BSH Corporate Communications Editor Jenny Schiessl asked them how this works and what they found out.
Stress, exhaustion, rising prices, war, health complaints, raising children, or partnership issues - the concerns of BSH colleagues who contact one of BSH's numerous Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are manifold (topics based on a survey conducted by the Fürstenberg Institute, Germany's EAP program).
Recently, we introduced BSH’s Global Graduate Accelerator – a program for young talents with learning opportunities, mentorship, a stay abroad and an unlimited contract with BSH. After Jennifer’s introduction of the program and Andrea’s experience abroad, we now want to share Oliver Glardon’s story. Having finished the program this year, Oliver gathered experience in his focus areas IT, Digital & Strategy and completed the GGA’s Business Challenge. Discover how Oliver mastered the challenge with his fellow Graduates and how mentorship and networking helped him hone his hard and soft skills further.
As Europe's No. 1 home appliances innovator, BSH tries to reduce the environmental footprint in all areas of the value chain. That includes the use of resources, emissions, and energy consumption because every aspect of business is worthy of a review of its environmental compatibility and improvement on our path to reaching new climate goals. This aim of course affects the technician service too, so when the diesel vans of BSH Sweden started to expire in the beginning of 2021, the service team got the chance to choose Toyota as a supplier for the technician service and electric vans suddenly became a reality.
Extraordinary learning opportunities, mentorship, a stay abroad and an unlimited contract with BSH – the 12-month-long Global Graduate Accelerator program aims to foster young talents. Working in diverse teams and different areas of BSH, the Graduates can collect a variety of impressions together with peers and their mentors. Today, we want to share Andrea García Aldrett’s experience with the program and how her Mexican heritage helped her to connect with the people and culture of Paris, France, where she absolved her stay abroad.
Finding solutions in teamwork can be hard without an established feedback culture. That’s why, lately, this term developed into a corporate buzzword; but what does it actually mean? BSH sees feedback culture as a strategy that incorporates not only dialog within a team, but also concerns other levels of interaction within the company. So, in which ways does BSH foster its feedback culture? We asked Christina Hilgers, Inmaculada Perez Muñoz and Keqing Lin, who are part of BSH’s Feedback Team within the Global HR department Employer of Choice, to share their insights and experiences with us.
Given the huge number of home appliances that are already available in all global markets, wanting to create an unprecedented appliance innovation, is quite a challenge. A challenge, which BSH’s Business Development Team mastered by thinking outside the box and thereby transforming the classic kitchen area.
