Culture and Values at msg Plaut
Several central values characterize our actions and form guidelines for our unmistakable msg Plaut culture. Find out why we always focus on people.
Our msg values
Our values determine our actions - both towards all employees and towards customers. This principle applies without exception in all sectors, units and Group companies throughout the msg Group.
We understand our values like the roots of a tree. As such, they provide us with support and a stable basis for our growth and success. They form the foundation of all our actions and are guidelines for our day-to-day interactions. Without them as a basis, our msg culture would be unthinkable.
We treat each other with trust and respect. We recognize the strengths of every individual and stand up for one another—even in their absence.
We are eager to explore new ideas, solutions, and approaches. We are given the freedom and space to try new things, fostering creativity and progress.
Mistakes are part of learning. Instead of searching for blame, we focus on finding solutions together and using those insights to continuously improve.
If we recognize that something is not working, we are ready to stop it quickly and pivot. We see setbacks not as failures, but as vital elements of an entrepreneurial culture—because only by trying new things can we grow as individuals and as a company.
We remain curious about new developments and emerging solutions. We are open to questioning our own experiences and committed to lifelong learning and growth.
We support one another without hesitation—regardless of whether it falls within our job description. Helping colleagues succeed is at the heart of our teamwork.
Our clients’ success is the foundation of our own. We prioritize their needs, go the extra mile, and respond with speed, commitment, and reliability. We aim to exceed expectations through our dedication and agility.
We share information openly and communicate transparently about our activities and challenges. We are honest about what we know and what we don’t—and are always ready to learn or seek support when needed.
We aim to improve every single day—by seeking new experiences, learning new skills, and expanding our networks. Standing still is not an option.
We take responsibility for our actions and honor our commitments. When challenges arise, we communicate proactively and work together to find solutions. Accountability is not just a promise—it’s a principle we live by.
Our msg culture
What makes a corporate culture? Culture manifests itself in so many different facets, many of which cannot be put into words but have to be experienced. Furthermore, msg Plaut is a people business. This means that our culture is constantly changing. We want all employees at msg Plaut to be able to actively participate in this cultural development and contribute their ideas and feedback. As part of our cultural development program “People Matter Most”, we have therefore created various feedback formats - from the large employee survey to ad hoc surveys.
Duz culture
You will immediately notice this on your first day at msg Plaut: Here, we meet as equals across all hierarchical levels. Our teams are characterized by a special internal cohesion. This is one of the reasons why we consider our company-wide “Duz” culture to be a matter of course, from trainees to the Management Board.
“People Matter Most”
"People Matter Most” is not just a cultural development program, but has developed over the years into a guiding principle and thus an integral part of msg Plaut's cultural self-image. Various projects and measures relating to msg Plaut's culture have since been successfully implemented under the “People Matter Most” label.
Open error culture
Our employees are given the confidence and freedom to make their own decisions and take responsibility. This trust in the people involved also includes the fact that mistakes can happen despite the utmost care and diligence.
