Accountability - Sense of responsibility: We stand by our decisions even in challenging situations.


We live our values - empathy, trust, respect, passion - and think, communicate and act accordingly. We decide quickly, based on balanced analyses but also with intuition - especially in difficult situations. We define priorities and implement them consistently and in cooperation with each other. We give feedback and actively seek it: we use our strengths effectively and give each individual the chance to develop.
 

Agility: We are open to internal and external changes and react to them promptly.


We are inventive in seeking responses to change. We challenge the status quo and our own or others' assumptions without bias. We draw new insights from data and translate them into action in a timely manner. We are open-minded and understand mistakes as experience, - helpful to avoid them in the future.
 

Intrapreneurship - entrepreneurial thinking: Together with our customers we find innovative solutions to respond to the changes in the market.


We meet the needs of customers and patients by implementing innovative ideas to achieve business results. We make the most of our decision-making freedom, taking into account available resources and talents. We demonstrate a "Winning Spirit" through energy, positive attitude and exemplary advocacy. We deliver the highest quality even under difficult conditions.
