To ensure that all employees have comprehensive health coverage, Augel uses the monthly non-cash benefit of 50 euros for a company health insurance plan.

Depending on their length of employment, employees have an annual budget of 900 to 1,500 euros available for services such as massages, alternative medicine practitioners, copayments for medications, and much more. In addition, there are copayments for dental treatment and other services.

Hours worked beyond the monthly hour quota are credited to a flex-time account and can be used at the employee’s discretion. All employees are paid for the contractually agreed number of hours each month. If the required number of hours is not met, the missing hours are paid out from the accumulated flex-time account. Employees at Augel thus benefit from flexible working hours and a steady income.

Augel offers a long-term, value-time, and lifetime work-time account that allows industrial employees to save up hours for long-term leave protected under social security law, such as parental leave, caregiving leave, or early retirement. The value-time accounts are certified by the pension insurance agency and backed by a guarantee.

At Augel it's a tradition! Every first Friday of the month is off for our industrial employees. It is possible to arrange and keep private appointments on that day. This creates planning security for employees and the company!

Augel gives all employees a Christmas bonus! We also pay an additional vacation bonus!

Our office spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art, functional furnishings. Each workstation features height-adjustable desks and comfortable office chairs that can be customized to individual needs. With the construction of a new office building in 2017 and the renovation of the old building in 2023, not only were new workspaces created, but the interior furnishings were also completely renewed and modernized. Our office staff work in a bright, open, and collaborative environment.

At Augel, we combine profitability and humanity in a unique way. Every team member, with their own skills and strengths, is an important part of the whole. By creating space for autonomy, we actively encourage decision-making freedom, responsibility, initiative, and creativity among all employees. Flat hierarchies also facilitate short communication and decision-making channels, which further streamline processes and make them more efficient.

In more than 20 training courses offered per year, not only expert knowledge is taught. Augel also promotes and supports the employees' personal development. A special Augel-specific training format is the "construction etiquette" for the optimization of customer orientation. The training is based on the maxim: "There is no second chance for the first impression - professional appearance and customer-oriented behaviour for industrial employees". Based on this workshop series, a "service primer" in the form of a paperback book was created so that employees can always keep the most important information with them.

Auch unser Verwaltungsteam nimmt regelmäßig an Schulungen teil. Im Jahr 2017 startete für sie eine besondere Workshop-Reihe. Anhand spezieller Übungen und Beispiele lernten sie, durch mehr innere Ruhe im Arbeitsumfeld „Ziele einfacher zu erreichen“. Die Workshops bauen auf den „7 Wegen zur Effektivität“ nach Steven Covey auf, die seit vielen Jahren jedem neuen Verwaltungsmitarbeiter von Augel vermittelt werden, um ihn/sie für die Prinzipien von persönlichem und beruflichem Erfolg zu sensibilisieren.

Based on collective bargaining agreements, we provide capital-forming benefits to our industrial, technical, and administrative employees and trainees. Our industrial employees receive a collectively bargained capital-forming benefit of 0.13 euros per hour worked (employer contribution). They contribute 0.02 euros per hour worked from their wages (employee contribution) so that the employer can invest this amount as a capital-forming benefit.

Für Angestellte und Poliere beträgt die Arbeitgeberzulage 23,52 Euro je Monat. Dabei werden mindestens 3,07 Euro des Monatsgehalts als Eigenleistung im Wege der Umwandlung von uns vermögenswirksam angelegt. Für die Auszubildenden gelten die gleich hohen Arbeitgeberanteile und Beträge der Eigenleistung wie für die Angestellten.

There’s always something going on at Augel, and our employees are often on the road. That’s why we provide a pro-rated reimbursement for travel time from our headquarters to the construction site. We pay the full meal allowance of 14 euros per day for absences of more than 8 hours, and 28 euros per day for absences of more than 24 hours. In addition, we provide company vehicles for trips to the construction sites.

Our industrial employees receive uniform T-shirts and long-sleeve shirts. Our employees can easily reorder their work clothes through the company’s online store. Augel also covers the full cost of prescription safety glasses and computer glasses—even for our administrative team!

We provide our construction site employees with state-of-the-art technology, enabling us to develop innovative solutions for the construction process. Our employees are equipped with tablets that allow them to document individual steps, communicate with other employees, and share information. The company also benefits from this, as internal processes are streamlined and accelerated.
