Ringier’s Human Resources approach

Autonomy on all levels – one of Ringier’s core values. This is why we seek employees who invest creative energy in their work and appreciate the freedom to implement their projects and daily tasks.

The success of Ringier is due largely to this approach. We employ individuals who think entrepreneurially and are willing to examine innovative ideas.

Ringier has kept pace with these developments – from a printer to a media company that has expanded its channels steadily to evolve into a diversified group. The current strategy is based not only on media but also on digitalization and entertainment. Despite its enormous diversity, the enterprise has a common denominator – its impressive history. For more than a century, the company has been shaped by renewal, innovation and courage.
