Hans Hepp integrates people with disabilities into everyday working life.
Cooperation between HANS HEPP and the sheltered workshops Elbe-Werkstätten.
Christian Beckmann, Managing Director of Hans Hepp GmbH & Co KG, is delighted with the good partnership with the Elbe-Werkstätten: ‘As a company, we have been using the services offered by the Elbe-Werkstätten Hamburg and the workshops for the disabled run by the DRK Rostock and DRK Stade for over 20 years. Until now, the goods have always been assembled at the locations of the workshops. Now, for the first time, we are taking a new approach and integrating physically and mentally disabled people into our day-to-day work.’
According to Christian Beckmann, this new form of cooperation is a ‘win-win’ situation for everyone involved. ‘Our long-standing employees have already learnt to appreciate their new colleagues and have experienced how important it is for the self-esteem of disabled people to be needed and to do something good.’ According to Beckmann, the time factor for transporting goods from one location to another and order throughput times would also be significantly reduced. This enables the company to react even more flexibly and just-in-time to current customer requirements.
