Build your future with Markant

We want all of our employees to be able to enjoy their well-deserved retirement later in life without any financial worries. That's why we support everyone who works for us by providing an individual, employer-funded pension so that they can start thinking about their future today.

These days, a canteen needs to offer more than just a quick, hot meal at lunchtime. It's about enjoyment, health and responsibility. For these reasons, a panel of experts has selected the Markant employee restaurant in Offenburg as one of the 50 best canteens in Germany.

There is a monthly onboarding to provide new employees with a comprehensive overview of the company right from the beginning. The in-person event lasts half a day and offers new employees the chance to find out more about the individual companies and divisions and to network and get to know each other. This is concluded with a lunch together (in the Markant company restaurant).

For us, sustainable working and environmentally conscious travel are real priorities. In January 2018, we installed three electric charging points with two connectors each in our company car park in Offenburg so that employees with electric cars and e-bikes can charge their vehicles free of charge during working hours.

As far as operationally feasible, we allow our employees to organize their working hours flexibly. Every employee who is able to work from home also has access to a portable laptop. If required, it is possible to use a specially equipped parent and child office. Moreover, employees can take up to three days off per year in addition to their agreed yearly leave with the help of flexitime reduction.

Health is of course our top priority. The well-being of our employees is essential for a successful working relationship. We are therefore offering different campaigns such as health and blood donor days as well as regular appointments with our specialist in occupational medicine. Each employee is also provided with a height-adjustable desk and there is the possibility to have computer workstation glasses made.

Let's raise your salary! Markant offers its employees an employee card with a tax-free benefit-in-kind of EUR 44 per month. This can be redeemed in many stores in the region. In addition, all staff members can get moving with bike leasing - protecting the environment and their pockets. By converting the leasing instalment for a bicycle or e-bike into your salary, you receive the pleasure of riding virtually at the gross price for the net price - and with full theft, repair and insurance cover. We also offer a comprehensive Employee PC Programme (MPP), which allows you to finance up-to-date PCs, notebooks, tablets or mobile phones, including accessories, with the help of salary optimisation. Other ways to optimise salaries are, for example, a recreation allowance for employees, monthly bookable meal vouchers or even subsidising your telephone contracts.

Our apprentices and students receive an allowance for specialist literature to ensure that they have access to the best possible textbooks. However, a good work-life balance is also crucial for personal and professional well-being. That's why we also offer sporting activities and cooperate with several gyms to offer our employees access at favourable rates. There are also corporate benefits for our employees that provide discounts in many shops.

In order to strengthen team spirit among colleagues, various events are held for employees on a regular basis. There are after-work events, the reading event StadtLesen in Offenburg and a Christmas hike which ends with a Christmas party together.
