Weleda AG is Top employer 2003
Schwäbisch Gmünd, 3 February (NNA) - Weleda AG in Schwäbisch Gmünd belongs to the best employers among German small and medium-sized companies. That is the finding of the Top Job study conducted by the Institute for Small and Medium-Sized Business (INMIT) at Trier University, Weleda said in a statement. The annual benchmarking project, Top Job, examines the human resources management of German employers. Companies are categorised by size and have to prove their worth in five disciplines: vision and management, staff development, remuneration, culture and communication, as well as family and social orientation. The quality assessment is undertaken by INMIT. The result, announced on Friday, places Weleda among the top 64 companies in Germany allowed to use the Top Job quality label. Weleda AG met the Top Job standards in all areas, the statement said, and scored with a coordinated human resources management concept. In accordance with its guiding principles, Weleda saw itself as a place of personal development through joint undertakings. Mathieu van den Hoogenband, Weleda managing director in Schwäbisch Gmünd and chairman of the Weleda group management, had worked to develop the management culture. His motto: “Management must become an art – leadership must become an art.” Weleda considered the award as a spur to continue consistently along the path it had pursued for the last 80 years, the company said.

Dornach, 3 February (NNA) - In a marathon session lasting more than eleven hours, the Dorneck-Thierstein district court in Switzerland yesterday heard the case disputing the legal existence of the “General Anthroposophical Society (Christmas Conference)”. The summary judgement is expected by the end of the week with a detailed ruling following about a month later. The outcome of the case will also determine whether the extraordinary general meeting of the Christmas Conference 2002 is allowed to stand and whether the resolutions adopted at the general meetings last November with regard to the planned fusion of the “General Anthroposophical Society” (GAS) and the “General Anthroposophical Society (Christmas Conference)” can enter into force. While the “Gelebte Weihnachtstagung” grouping disputes the continued separate existence of the Christmas Conference society because it became one in February 1925 with the administrative Building Association which then continued under the name of General Anthroposophical Society, another group of plaintiffs associated with Andreas Wilke and Karl Buchleitner claims that the Christmas Conference society ceased to exist altogether and only remains as a historical event.
