Work-Life Balance Is Part of Our Philosophy

Sabrina, Team Lead HR Business Partner
at Zehnder since 2010

My path at Zehnder first began with the Internal Sales team of our International Sales organisation. Here I learned about Zehnder products and could put my language proficiency to good use. In the meantime, I furthered my education in international management assistance, and after three years I took over a position as Assistant to the Executive Management. Three years later, I changed to Human Resources. Since then, I have advanced to Team Leader. 

What I value most about my work at Zehnder are my colleagues – the people and environment who make Zehnder what it is. The responsibility that everyone is given is very positive to my professional and personal development. At Zehnder, we enjoy the freedom to make our own decisions. Zehnder is a very good employer for me since I can balance my family and my work. I do not need to explain myself when I need to take advantage of flexible work schedules or work from home because our child is unwell – that takes a lot of pressure off of me.

Zehnder is traditional in a positive sense; things are thought through. Decisions are carefully weighed up. I'm like that in my private life as well.
