Unsere Tiere Erwin, Xaver, Lorenz, Gerda, Stefan und Willi

We are different and complement each other perfectly – and THEY do too. We are talking about our six animal colleagues from the employer branding, who have been strengthening our Fabasoft team since 2018. You have probably already seen the chameleon Xaver, the owl Erwin, the cheetah Gerda, the lion Lorenz, the bull Stefan or the raccoon Willi with their messages: On a poster or infoscreen, in the cinema, in a newspaper, a magazine, on our career website or in a specific job advertisement.

Our animal colleagues at Fabasoft: the backgrounds

This gives rise to opportunities and possibilities that we exploit together. Mutual appreciation, numerous benefits and lots of fun round off our motivating working environment.

They are characterized by special qualities and skills that our employees in the various areas at Fabasoft also have or need. After that, it quickly became clear which animals best represent our habitat and our colorful, inspiring work environment.
