Our vision is to be the world's most trusted and desirable premium brand
Our purpose is to create delightful experiences by redfining excellence every day, everywhere. Our mission is to be Immer Besser – which translates to ‘forever better’.
To achieve this, we put our people and our customers at the core of everything we do. This means treasuring the differences and diversities that our customers and employees bring to Miele. Whatever your background, heritage, or thing that makes you unique is, we want you to know you are welcome here, and we will do all we can to make your journey with us ‘forever better’.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive culture that represents the unique differences of our employees, we have established a set of long-term goals and ambitions.
Building an inclusive culture
We are all responsible for showing the behaviours that help to build an inclusive culture. At Miele GB, we aspire to reach the 80th percentile in our inclusion index. We will measure this via our employee pulse survey and support its achievement through training and awareness events.
We are working to finalise these goals and they will help us to support and develop the biggest, broadest and most diverse pools of talent. They will also help us to ensure that all individuals feel as though they can be their best and authentic self here.
Gender Balanced Leadership
Diversity is broader than gender, but gender balance is a foundational measure of difference within our business. From decades of research, we know that gender balanced teams are higher performing teams. Performance only improves if we add further layers of difference too.
By 2030, we aspire to have a minimum of 40% of any one gender in our management positions. In our GB business, three of our eight-person leadership team are women.
Reflecting our Markets
We want to reflect the diverse make-up and identity of the UK across our management teams, and value that difference.
Our customers and employees are highly diverse. We want to represent the differences that we see in society in our workplace, whether that’s race or heritage, disability, gender identity or anything else, as that’s the only way for us to truly understand our customers and unlock the benefit of diverse perspectives.
