Customer oriented behaviour
Krofian is a Make-to-Order company. Therefore, our customers and their satisfaction always come first. We always treat our customers, both internal and external, with respect and try to accommodate them to the best of our ability.
Professionalism
A professional employee is the basic building block of this company. It is a person who is
a leader in their field and acts in compliance with the corporate culture and the customer’s best interests.
Professionalism also means emphasising the personal development of each individual who thus
grows with the company and holds it at a permanently high level. This requires personal involvement,
the willingness to take on assigned tasks and the will to acquire the necessary knowledge.
Teamwork
Teamwork is a fundamental principle of working at Krofian. This is why we emphasise team behaviour and conduct, which not only includes cooperation with colleagues but also respects the work of others.
Loyalty
Every employee is obliged to uphold the good name of the company at all times and to behave
in compliance with the good reputation of this company. This includes any advancement of one’s
own interests that may contradict the interests of the company.
Talent management
Krofian devotes a great deal of time to new talents. We give a chance to all colleagues that have
the potential and desire to make a difference. We plan their career development and guide them in their personal growth. At the same time, we provide initial training and feedback to new colleagues based
on our training plans.
