Over the course of 2025, MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS GROUP has received a remarkable series of HR awards. Throughout the year, independent institutes and renowned media outlets assess companies' employer quality, training performance, and equal opportunities. A glance at the list shows that recognition has accompanied MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS GROUP continuously throughout the year – reflecting the sustainable impact of its HR strategy.

These awards are spread throughout the year and are presented after comprehensive testing – from employee surveys to objective data analysis.

This consistent recognition is the result of a clear HR strategy that focuses on measurable quality and individual development. One example: the retention rate after training has been above the industry average for years. Development and training opportunities are continuously promoted and internal training programs are being expanded. Just this year, a new internal training series was launched, with HR development focusing specifically on practical training. The modules cover key topics such as communication, conflict resolution, resilience, and stress management. What makes the series special is that the content is directly tailored to the specific everyday work and needs of the employees. This results in training courses that not only impart theoretical knowledge but also create real confidence in taking action.

The promotion of women at MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS GROUP is not just lip service, but a central component of the personnel strategy. According to BRIGITTE x Embrace, the company will be among the “Best Companies for Women” in 2025 – a ranking that evaluates, among other things, the gender equality ratio, salary transparency, and work-life balance. Flexible working time models, targeted training opportunities, and individual development plans enable employees to actively shape their careers and remain with the company in the long term. This is reflected in the 50% share of women – right up to the management level.

The MANN & SCHRÖDER COSMETICS GROUP does not see the awards as an end point, but as an incentive. The personnel strategy is continuously being developed—with new training formats, targeted promotion of diversity and innovation, and a corporate culture that focuses on appreciation and development. External recognition is both confirmation and motivation to further expand these high standards.
