Fostering a Fair and Responsible Culture

For value-based collaboration

Around 14,000 people work for HUGO BOSS worldwide (as of 2020) – the Company has a responsibility to each and every one of them. That’s why the Group promotes a fair, open corporate culture where motivation is part of everyday work. To achieve this, we strive to recruit the best employees, inspire and support them, empower them for the transformation, and build a trusting, creative relationship with them. All of these elements are essential for HUGO BOSS and its employees to develop innovative ideas that generate value for all stakeholders.

First and foremost, of course, this involves ensuring that employees develop awareness for sustainability. But it also involves much more: lifelong learning, meaningful actions, and a working relationship characterized by mutual trust.

HUGO BOSS is strongly committed to respecting human rights and contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 5 (Gender Equality), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 10 (Reduced Inequalities) at all its locations through fair, performance-based compensation along with protection against discrimination and respect for employee rights.

Mobile Working

An internal survey of some 2,000 employees at HUGO BOSS has shown that mobile working is a popular idea – and one that results in high-quality work. In response, the company introduced the mobile work model Threedom of Work in October 2020.

Listening to employees actively

HUGO BOSS regularly conducts satisfaction surveys among employees within the company and at subsidiaries. The results provide indications of the employees’ needs and provide motivation for catering to them even more.
