Sev­er­al ENERGETIX busi­ness part­ners were over recent weeks and months hap­py to receive their new cars from the ENERGETIXDRIVE pro­gramme. Inde­pen­dent busi­ness part­ners in France, the Nether­lands, Den­mark and Ger­many are now trav­el­ling to their cus­tomers, fairs and mar­kets in their new ‘brand­ed’ cars.

Char­i­ty is a mat­ter of the heart for ENERGETIX. In addi­tion to its oth­er char­i­ty com­mit­ments, ENERGETIX also recent­ly took part in the 20th anniver­sary of RTL’s telethon – a mega event that sup­ports chil­dren in need. The tar­get: to gen­er­ate as much mon­ey for the good cause in 24 hours as pos­si­ble. A wide range of dif­fer­ent activ­i­ties were arranged to achieve this goal.

The tread­mill challenge 
Join­ing in with spec­tac­u­lar activ­i­ties for eight years: extreme sports endurance per­son­al­i­ty, ENERGETIX friend and enthu­si­as­tic wear­er of sportEX – Joey Kel­ly. His ambi­tious tar­get for 2015: to endure 24 hours on a tread­mill. A fur­ther 20 tread­mills were also set up on which relay teams rep­re­sent­ing such com­pa­nies as ENERGETIX also ran for an entire 24 hours.

Team spir­it par excellence
ENERGETIX also field­ed a team for one of the 20 tread­mills. It includ­ed high­ly moti­vat­ed busi­ness part­ners and friends who had trav­elled to the event from all over Ger­many; our thanks go to:

• Christi­na Baldes
• Brit­ta Hartmann
• Uwe Langhorst
• Leon Langhorst
• Andreas Kasulke
• Andreas Räwel
• Wolf­gang Düsener
• Ralf Schmülling
• Elke Berndt
• Hans Jür­gen Schmitz
• Ralf Unger
• Sabine Kaiser-Martin
• Markus Schweizer
• Joachim Hogg
• Dag­mar Hüser
• Kirstin Lutz
• Annegret Latzel
• Frank Reinhardt
• Sven Eder
• Rudi Schmidt

ENER­GETIX’s Andreas Förster, Fabi­ana Reich­mann, Jes­si­ca Schlick and Petra Schme­ing cheered the team on from the side­lines as tire­less moti­va­tors and organizers.

Joey Kel­ly and the 24-hour challenge
Yes, Joey kept going and did the entire 24 hours on his own. But he was­n’t real­ly alone, of course, because the 20 teams of run­ners (includ­ing teams rep­re­sent­ing Bauhaus, Post­bank, Spar­da Bank, Deutsche Post and Luke Kel­ly) were also present in the large hall with each relay team run­ning on sep­a­rate tread­mills. They also gave their all. The com­pa­nies donat­ed 10 euros to be added to the grand total for every kilo­me­tre run.

Roland Förster live on TV
Roland Förster, Sole Share­hold­er and CEO, joined the host, Wol­fram Kons, at the RTL Stu­dios in Cologne on Fri­day evening. This was also when the total amount that ENERGETIX would be donat­ing was revealed: 70,000 euros!

At the 2015 Cat­a­logue Launch in Berlin, Jes­si­ca Schlick, Head of Mar­ket­ing and Sales, chal­lenged all busi­ness part­ners to take part in a very spe­cial com­pe­ti­tion to dis­cov­er who could sign up the most new­com­ers in Sep­tem­ber and Octo­ber 2015. The most suc­cess­ful per­son would be fea­tured on the cov­er of the next issue of ENER­GETIX’s mag­a­zine, which is pub­lished twice a year! 

Clau­dine Guil­lard, who is a very suc­cess­ful busi­ness part­ner in France, took first place in this com­pe­ti­tion. Won­ja Koch, a young and upcom­ing busi­ness part­ner from Ger­many made it to sec­ond place while Wolf­gang Schnei­der fol­lowed in third.

We con­grat­u­late the win­ners on their out­stand­ing work and say: keep it up!

Read more about the win­ners and their for­mu­las for suc­cess in the next EX Magazine!

True to the mot­to, ‘Under Nature’s Spell’, the win­ners of the sec­ond cat­e­go­ry train­ing trip trav­elled to the pic­turesque island of flow­ers – Madeira – at the end of October!

Orig­i­nal and colour­ful­ly designed front doors in the old town of Fun­chal (the island’s cap­i­tal), ‘azule­jos’ (the famous blue ceram­ic tiles) and Madeira’s artis­tic embroi­dery (which besides its wine is the island’s most famous export): the par­tic­i­pants were able to dis­cov­er and admire all this and much more.

And, of course, there was lots of time to com­pare notes about their pro­fes­sion­al activ­i­ties as inde­pen­dent ENERGETIX busi­ness partners!

New­com­ers were able to take part in an exclu­sive train­ing trip to ENER­GETIX’s head­quar­ters in Bin­gen on 15 and 16 October.

The group spent the Thurs­day in the beau­ti­ful Rhein­gau region. This is where the par­tic­i­pants from Ger­many, France and Bel­gium were able to take the oppor­tu­ni­ty to ask such ques­tions as “How did you dis­cov­er ENERGETIX Bin­gen?” and “How do you attract busi­ness part­ners?” and so get to know each oth­er bet­ter. A mem­ber of the Cus­tomer Sup­port staff helped with inter­pre­ta­tion and so over­come any lan­guage bar­ri­ers that might have exist­ed. The par­tic­i­pants were also lat­er able to sam­ple three top wines from the Rhein­gau region in the atmos­pher­ic and can­dlelit cel­lar vaults at the famous Eber­bach Abbey. Con­tin­ue read­ing →

A hap­py group of top busi­ness part­ners fell “Under Nature’s Spell” from 4 to 10 Octo­ber! The Rocky Moun­tains, glac­i­ers, cow­boy hats: you’ll find the best pho­tos from the trip in this Flickr on-line album!

Mem­ber of par­lia­ment arrives at ENERGETIX on 9 Octo­ber 2015, on time and in good spir­its. After being wel­comed by Roland Förster, the com­pa­ny’s Sole Share­hold­er and CEO, and a short tour of its depart­ments, the politi­cian – who was always accom­pa­nied by sev­er­al local politi­cians, press rep­re­sen­ta­tives and a tele­vi­sion crew – took the time for an inten­sive exchange of ideas. 

Andrea Nahles talk­ing to Roland Förster

Andrea Nahles would not be a good politi­cian if she did­n’t shift atten­tion to the top­ic that is cur­rent­ly par­tic­u­lar­ly close to her heart: refugees – and more specif­i­cal­ly – their rapid incor­po­ra­tion into the labour mar­ket for faster integration. 

Andrea Nahles study­ing ENER­GETIX’s jew­ellery cre­ations with great interest

Lived inte­gra­tion
How can gov­ern­ment help Ger­man com­pa­nies to – rapid­ly – improve the refugees‘ sit­u­a­tion on the labour mar­ket! These and oth­er inter­est­ing ques­tions were not avoid­ed and the fed­er­al min­is­ter left with the promise that ENERGETIX would, if the polit­i­cal frame­work con­di­tions per­mit­ted, give young refugees the oppor­tu­ni­ty to start their work­ing life – and thus inte­gra­tion – with prac­ti­cal train­ing at ENERGETIX. 

Besides wel­com­ing the high pro­por­tion of women, par­tic­u­lar­ly in exec­u­tive roles, the Fed­er­al Min­is­ter for Labour and Social Affairs was espe­cial­ly hap­py to see the large num­ber of – high­ly qual­i­fied – employ­ees from immi­grant back­grounds demon­strat­ing that inte­gra­tion is a mat­ter of course at ENERGETIX Bingen! 

It was then time for her next appoint­ment in Mainz where she was to dis­cuss the top­ic of a “good work­ing life” with cit­i­zens (“Gut leben, gut arbeit­en” (“Liv­ing Well, Work­ing Well”)). She was prob­a­bly able to take sev­er­al pos­i­tive ideas from Bin­gen with her and con­tribute them to the discussion!

ENERGETIX Türkiye’s Cat­a­logue Launch took place in the fash­ion cen­tre of Istan­bul on 3 Octo­ber 2015. The new col­lec­tion for 2016 was pre­sent­ed fol­low­ing the even­t’s offi­cial open­ing by Tol­ga Delik­taş, head of ENERGETIX in Turkey, and a pre­sen­ta­tion by Dr Thiel, the COO.

Greet­ings from Germany
Dr Thiel expressed his deep grat­i­tude and appre­ci­a­tion – also on behalf of Roland Förster, Sole Share­hold­er and CEO, and Alexan­der Link, CIO – to Mr Delik­taş, his team and all the busi­ness part­ners in Turkey!

The day was filled with inter­est­ing pre­sen­ta­tions: suc­cess­ful busi­ness part­ners report­ed their expe­ri­ences gained from work­ing with their teams, the use of social media in sales and the win­ning of new busi­ness part­ners. The social aspects of team man­age­ment were also illu­mi­nat­ed and expe­ri­ences with mag­net­ic jew­ellery were exchanged.

“This work­shop where inter­na­tion­al busi­ness part­ners were able to dis­cuss their expe­ri­ences with each oth­er is the BEST THING I’ve ever done in regard to train­ing ses­sions and exchanges!!” (Uschi Eder)

The Sun­day fol­low­ing the Cat­a­logue Launch saw high­ly moti­vat­ed inter­na­tion­al busi­ness part­ners meet at the Estrel for the Net­work­ing Lounge:

in a casu­al atmos­phere and in high spir­its, the part­ners formed small groups to work on the sub­jects of team moti­va­tion, strate­gies for win­ning busi­ness part­ners and self-moti­va­tion that are so impor­tant to suc­cess and thus ben­e­fit from each oth­er. Liz Howard, our voice coach, also decid­ed spon­ta­neous­ly to join us!
