Health and physical activity
Prevention is care. And because we take this very seriously, our employees benefit from a comprehensive health program. For this, we have been awarded the Styrian ÖGK Seal of Quality for Workplace Health Promotion—for the seventh consecutive year.
In addition to occupational health care, a general practitioner offers specialized health screenings such as vaccinations, health education, and many other supportive measures to maintain good health. These also include guided and self-organized exercise programs, ergonomics training, massages, and counseling on nutrition and fitness—including services in the field of dietetics. Our employees also have the opportunity to participate in sporting events, such as the Business Run, for which Saubermacher covers the entry fees.
In addition, we support our employees in their return to work after extended sick leave through a structured return-to-work program. Training sessions and workshops on stress management and resilience help employees strengthen their long-term health and effectively manage their daily work routine.
Good, healthy food for everyone
For hungry Saubermacher employees, we offer either a cafeteria or the option to purchase a healthy snack – or partnerships with nearby restaurants. At Saubermacher, all employees receive a meal subsidy. This allows us to directly reduce the prices of our meals, or employees receive vouchers that our partners accept just like cash. Fresh, seasonal fruit is available for everyone to help themselves to.
Family, free time and career
As a family-owned business, at Saubermacher, family isn’t just part of our mission statement – we live by it. We support you with flexible work schedules, the option to work from home, and opportunities such as partial retirement, parental part-time work, paternity leave, and a “dad’s month.”
You’ll remain part of our team even during parental leave: Our “parental leave breakfast” fosters connection, and continuing education is, of course, available during this time as well. We also support new parents with a one-time grant – our “diaper hundred.”
Under the title “Life Values,” we’ve developed our own code of ethics that helps us balance family and career in the long term. We’ve been awarded the “berufundfamilie” seal of approval for our commitment.
For us, family and work are two important pillars of life. When they complement each other, the quality of life improves.
Work that makes sense!
Work has to fit your life – and your role. At Saubermacher, we offer flexible hours with clear departmental staffing schedules. In customer-facing roles, we work set hours – depending on what each position requires. Because taking responsibility for our customers is part of who we are. Working from home is possible in many areas. Whether and to what extent depends on your field of work. Of course, we’ll also provide you with all the equipment you need for remote work.
Part-time work is standard practice for us – in traditional employee roles as well as in leadership positions. A 4-day workweek can also be implemented, depending on the department.
For us, flexibility means finding solutions that make sense for both sides.
Living Leadership
At Saubermacher, leadership means taking responsibility—for people, the environment, and the long-term success of our company. Our leaders work together with their teams to develop solutions for a functioning circular economy. Our leadership philosophy serves as the foundation for this. Diversity is an important component of modern leadership—44 percent of our leaders are women (as of April 2026).
To specifically strengthen leadership, Saubermacher relies on a leadership development program, coaching sessions, potential analyses for high-potential employees, and networking opportunities such as the Leadership Café. We fill many leadership positions internally to promote development opportunities within the company.
Training and Continuing Education at Saubermacher
With us, you’ll receive high-quality training and continuing education that will help you become—and remain—one of the best professionals in the industry.
A key component of our training program is our central knowledge and learning platform, “Eddi.” It not only offers you a wide and personalized selection of training programs but also allows you to complete numerous courses online—no matter where you are.
With our mobile employee app, Sandi, we’re connected anytime, anywhere, fostering our Saubermacher spirit.

Always a listening ear – MyGuides
At Saubermacher, teamwork, camaraderie, and working together to overcome challenges are what matter most. To promote greater fairness in the workplace, we’ve established a dedicated team to serve as a point of contact. The MyGuides consist of over 30 volunteer employees who act as a liaison between workers and management. They’re always ready to listen to the staff’s concerns and quickly find a good solution.
Our MyGuides help out at internal events, provide special discounts from partner businesses, and also organize the occasional group breakfast or barbecue. They offer support wherever it’s needed.
We’re strong together – Helping Hands
Together we are strong! Our in-house association, “Helping Hands,” assists employees and their immediate family members in times of need. The assistance provided is made possible by voluntary donations from the Saubermacher workforce. Each year, “Helping Hands” handles approximately 80 cases of assistance.
Types of Assistance:
- Providing financial resources, e.g., for heating system repairs, medical expenses, children’s medications, or wheelchairs
- Counseling and coaching in difficult life situations, such as disasters, divorces, or bereavements
- Assistance with choosing a doctor and scheduling appointments for rehabilitation, therapies, surgeries, etc.
- Funding debt counseling for employees
