HABA – a family-friendly family business

We at HABA have been supporting children in their everyday play for over 85 years. We design thoughtful products with high play value even for the very youngest. In doing so, we apply the highest standards to every single toy to meet the needs of little explorers.

These standards also apply here at our company – because our staff are the heart of our company.

Employees at the centre

Working at HABA means being engaged with the world's most charming audience: children and their families. Of the more than 2,000 employees within the HABA group, around 1,800 are based at the Bad Rodach site. The share of women across the HABA group is particularly high: almost 60% of the workforce is female. These are all impressive numbers, facts and figures. Yet as a long-established family company, what matters to us even more is what lies behind them: the people themselves. Many of our employees are parents or grandparents themselves and therefore have an especially personal connection to the products they develop, manufacture and market.

Family-friendly working conditions

All our employees put their energy, knowledge and drive into our company every day. Therefore, it is natural for us to create an environment and framework in which they can best reconcile professional and family matters. This largely concerns childcare, where we support our employees with the following offers:

  • the care of employees' children aged ½ to 6 years at the Luise Habermaass children's daycare

  • holiday childcare during the summer break for children aged 4 to 10 years

  • individual, flexible working-time models

We also provide individual support to employees who care for relatives in need of care at home.

Responsibility for employees' health

Health is essential to remaining productive. To ensure it stays that way, we carry out a wide range of proactive measures as part of our Occupational Health Management (BGM). This includes, for example, a variety of health courses – from A for aquatraining to Z for Zumba. In addition, the JobRad initiative has been available for some time. It enables employees to use company bikes for their commute and in their leisure time, allowing them to travel affordably, in an environmentally friendly way and in a manner that supports their health.

Although it is unhealthy, long periods of sitting are almost unavoidable in everyday office life. That is why it is particularly important that workstations are set up ergonomically. In the HABA company family, trained ErgoScouts take care of this: trained employees who inspect and adjust colleagues' desk chairs and screens from an ergonomic point of view.
