truly international work environment, clear and convincing purpose and a performance culture that encourages growth
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
great purpose - providing housing and infrastructure for people around the globe; health & safety as well as sustainability are truly important; interesting work / challenging projects, responsibility and autonomy to make a real change; very international work experience for me at the corporate office, collaborative and supportive work atmosphere; good salary and benefits; flexible working (give and take)
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
from my corporate point of view (I don't have much visibility of the country organizations) the major areas for improvement are: strengthening the people managers and better, more transparent communication
Verbesserungsvorschläge
as many other companies too, I believe LH needs to focus on strengthening their people leaders; even more focus on increasing (gender) diversity in all functions
Arbeitsatmosphäre
within the corporate HR team I really like the many nationalities and cultures present, the collaborative approach and broad experience of the HR colleagues, which make my daily work experience so much more enjoyable
Kommunikation
as in most companies we can surely still improve when it comes to communication and information sharing - we are working on it
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I felt part of the team from the moment I started at LH and so far never had any bad experiences with any of my colleagues. No matter how busy they are, there is always time and willingness to support others.
Work-Life-Balance
I do appreciate the possibility of working from home from time to time to help combine family life and work in the best possible way. LH gives us a lot of flexibility to support that balance. I do feel it is a fair give and take.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I consider myself very lucky with my manager - she is truly supportive, has a lot of experience she is willingly sharing and she involves me in super interesting and challenging projects. What I also appreciate a lot is that she gives me both positive, reinforcing and also constructive feedback that supports my personal growth.
Interessante Aufgaben
I just love my job! I really enjoy my day to day work and exchange with the business leaders I support as well as the exchange and collaboration with my HR colleagues. And I am very excited about the additional projects we get to work on, as they are adding variety, exposure to very different people and topics and a lot of learning opportunities.
Gleichberechtigung
I have not experienced any issues whatsoever in that regard. Diversity and Inclusiveness are an important value at LH and I personally believe they are also truly lived and adhered to, even though we can of course still improve in terms of e.g. more gender diversity in the cement plants.
Arbeitsbedingungen
my main work location is in our offices in Zug, which is an extremely practical location close to the train station, shops and restaurants. I am working in Holderbank once a week, which is a lot less practical when it comes to public transport.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
LH has a history of supporting people and societies with e.g. affordable housing projects. However, producing cement and concrete is not exactly environmentally friendly, but LH is putting enormous efforts into making the business more carbon-neutral and sustainable. Since 2019 we even have a Chief Sustainability Officer in the ExCo, which shows how seriously LH takes the topic. These efforts and numerous initiatives do make me proud to be working for LH.

LH is the global leader in construction materials and solutions. However, outside of the building industry, I believe LH is not very well known as an employer.
I personally really like what LH is doing in terms of enabling the building of houses, streets and other infrastructure for so many people around the globe. That LH is trying to do that all while continuously getting more environmentally-friendly and sustainable, only makes me prouder to be part of these efforts.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
As I have not been very long with LH, this is a bit of a tricky one to answer. But considering the size of LH globally and knowing various stories of people who have been in the company for many years in various roles, I do believe that development and growth is very much possible in LH. With regards to on the job development, I am already very happy with all the interesting and challenging work I get.
