SELF-ORGANIZATION

At FREITAG, we do not have a classic hierarchy but follow the principle of self-organization and act in terms of professional roles.

PURPOSE

Our organizational structure, culture and expertise allow us to leverage our strengths and follow a common purpose.

RESPONSIBILITY AND TRANSPARENCY

Since 2016, our operations have followed the principles of self-organization. This self-organizing corporate form simplifies decision-making processes and encourages transparency and innovation by sharing responsibility across the company rather than handing it to a centralized management team, as with conventional organizational structures.

However, this does not mean that self-organization has no hierarchies. On the contrary: Self-organization is hierarchical but consistently determined by professional roles.

CIRCLES AND ROLES

The «holacratic» approach we use calls for organization into specific circles with clearly related roles that are continuously adapted to changing needs.

The management of a circle is divided into two roles: While the so-called «Lead Link» carries the information and the overall strategy into the circle, the «Rep Link» is responsible for carrying the circle's needs to the outside world. While the Lead Link is determined on a long-term basis by the next higher circle, the Rep Link is elected for a limited time by the circle members.

In addition to defined responsibilities, the circles and roles each have a purpose based on our overarching corporate purpose. Our stated purpose «Intelligent design for a circular future» is therefore not only ideally but also formally our top priority. As to be expected, there is no role at FREITAG whose area of expertise does not include the topic of circular economy and sustainability.

ECONOMIC THINKING

The self-organizing structure also helps us attract the right kind of talent: Individuals who do not see the classic career ladder as an end in itself but rather identify with the values of a company and a sustainable economy.

As a logical consequence of our understanding of participation, we promote entrepreneurial thinking and action and give our employees a share in the company's success. As soon as EBIT exceeds a defined threshold, we pay out a specified portion of the profit generated to the F-Crew in the form of a profit-sharing bonus.
