Meet the project team members of one of the oldest and longest-lasting partnering projects between IAV do Brasil and #IAV Germany. We have collected some useful tips 📝and fun facts about their German-Brazilian collaboration. 🇩🇪🤝🇧🇷   Mateus, our Brazilian team member, captures the essence of our collaboration: "What excited me the most about joining a team this diverse was exactly that: the collaboration between people with diverse backgrounds, diverse languages, diverse approaches. Sitting in a meeting room with 10 other people who look and think exactly like me was never an interesting idea, as I would be missing out on the enriching opportunity to share a workplace - although virtually - with people from different cultures." 🌎💼💻   Tiago from Germany shares "My biggest surprise was the genuine willingness to assist and support from my German colleagues. From the very beginning of my journey at IAV, there has been an authentic sense of integration." 💫   So what are they actually doing all work day long? 🚗 They are testing a variety of applications running on the newest automotive infotainment systems - similar as the apps on your smartphone. And how does this work? Through the screens 🖥️ and across continents 🌎, our team in Brazil remotely connects to the #IAVInfotainmentLab, stretching the work day of the hardware with the help of the time difference. 🕰️   But sometimes it's tricky. Sandro from Germany who loves football and thought this would be a key connection between the countries' cultures: "I thought that everyone in Brasil is into 'jogo bonito', but it turned out that this is not the case." ⚽😅   Caio recommends a simple yet effective way to connect: talk about food! "It's easier to get to know someone when you know what they like to eat."  🥘🍽️👍   Mateus observes, "One thing that's always fascinating is noticing the subtle differences in our senses of humor and how tricky it can be to navigate conversations while not still fully aware of those differences" 😆💬   Has this team’s story caught your interest? Want a work experience filled with global connections and innovative projects just like theirs? Start your engineering journey with IAV do Brasil, where every day is a cultural voyage from 'Guten Morgen' to 'Bom descanso' — right from your workspace. 🌞🌙 #IAVdoBrasil #CrossCulturalCollaboration #WeareoneIAV

It is always about the people.   As a People Partner my focus is on people, their relationships, interactions, and employee satisfaction.   If you want to have a deep connection with your key assets, your staff is where your focus has to be.   At the beginning of this year FRAMOS launched a new product FSM:GO optical sensor modules. While I am not involved in the product and the launch, it was amazing to see it all come together.   I saw how many great collaborations between employees were needed to get this product launched. I was impressed and proud.   So… at the end what was my conclusion?   Focus on collaboration, and teamwork then enjoy the magic.   If you want to see that magic, check out the video below.   #FRAMOS #people #collaboration #teamspirit

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is hit pause on your daily routine and immerse yourself in something extraordinary. That’s exactly what we did at the recent BMW Performance Center event hosted by OneDigital, Modern Woodmen of America, HireNetworks and Issuer Direct Corporation. Let me tell you, it was nothing short of amazing! But it wasn’t just about the cars. It was about the people, the conversations, and the shared passion for excellence that filled the room. So, if you’re considering whether to attend the next OneDigital event, my advice is simple: Do it. It’s more than an event; it’s an experience that could very well be the highlight of your year. #BMW #OneDigital #Communtiy #Partnership #Experience

Workshop time at FORVIA HELLA - and this time it's all about.... building bridges! Yes, you read that right, we've gone under the architects, so to speak. Before you get the wrong idea, let me explain: In a dynamic and complex industry like ours, where there is also a lot of competitive pressure, the whole team has to pull together. Easier said than done? The key for us to cracking this challenge is called the Objectives and Key Results method. It builds a bridge between the corporate strategy and the employees who are responsible for implementing this strategy. Taking corporate objectives out of the ivory tower and bringing them to the operational level - we think that's important! That's why we dedicated an entire workshop to the topic and really delved into the OKR framework. It was about the core elements qualitative objectives, quantitative key results, transparent communication of these across all hierarchical levels and regular, fixed intervals for monitoring the status quo on the way to our objectives. The advantages of this method - not only, but especially for teams in the aftermarket - are obvious: 🎯 Clear strategic focus 🎯 Concrete distribution of tasks 🎯 Measurable results 🎯 Transparency about goals and goal achievement 🎯 Promotes the intrinsic motivation of employees 🎯 Facilitates efficient and focused work However, the requirement, especially when introducing OKR, is an open mind for new processes and a willingness to take personal responsibility - so I'm lucky to be part of a team that has exactly these qualities. #HELLA #FORVIA #Aftermarket #Automotive #Workshop #AgileMethod #Strategy #Collaboration #OKR
