Our culture

People behind the sound

At Sennheiser, we are one team, one crew, one family. Our company culture is what sets us apart. We are the people behind the sound. As a team and a family business, we are driven by innovation and our passion for outstanding audio experiences. We are international by conviction, and we know that we are all owners of our success. Together, we want to make a difference.

Growing together

Investing in our strengths also means investing in our highest good: our people. Around 2,200 employees around the world to our joint progress. We cultivate a foundation where each of us can realize our full potential. We strive to provide a work environment where everyone can express their unique talents. For us, leadership means providing direction and vision while offering working conditions in which everyone can grow and develop.

Strength through diversity

The future of audio is colorful. Music has always been integrative, bringing together people from various backgrounds. It is impossible to imagine music – or Sennheiser – without diversity. We are international by conviction. Our customers from the music industry, broadcasting, television, and educational institutions represent diversity and a variety of opinions like hardly any other group. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual is valued and respected. We encourage everyone to express themselves and embody our company culture, fueling an open spirit of collaboration.

80 years of experience inside

As a family business with an 80-year history, we have a strong sense of heritage and responsibility. The entire backbone of what we offer our customers is based on the experience, knowledge, culture, and passion of our employees. Today, our team includes a vibrant mix of people from over 50 countries who embrace working together. Our success in the market is rooted in cultural diversity, while always remembering where we come from – a farmhouse near Hanover in 1945, where we developed our first microphone. We believe in the power of heritage and in the uniqueness of our people.

Our Culture Principles

Everything begins and ends with our customers.

In every decision and at every stage, they are at the heart of our decision making. We care for our customers and strive to understand their present and future needs: We delight them by meeting and exceeding their expectations.

Attitude is our most important asset.

At Sennheiser, who you are is just as important as what you know. Attitude and mindset count for more than even the most shining credentials, and they must be in sync with the culture that drives us. It's why we hire people who believe in our culture, respect diversity, and work collaboratively.

We take risks and learn from both our successes and failures.

We focus on solutions and quickly overcome obstacles. We challenge conventions and have the courage to take risks – with a fresh and forward-thinking attitude to create winning ideas. We celebrate our successes but also honestly acknowledge when we fall short.

We are all owners of our success.

We believe in constant improvement and personal growth: We advance Sennheiser with passion, courage and responsibility. We are empowered to make decisions at the organization's lowest possible level. We can agree to disagree, but once decisions are made we positively commit to the agreed course of action.

We foster an inclusive environment of trust, openness and collaboration.

We treat everybody in an honest, fair and friendly way and recognize that our success depends on the expertise we share. This is why we aim to listen first, seeking to understand others before being understood. We are supportive, we give and learn from constructive feedback, and build on each other’s diverse opinions, backgrounds and expertise.

We perform to our full potential based on our common goals.

We look beyond hierarchy to fully appreciate outstanding talent and achievement wherever it blooms. We expect everyone to give their very best every day. As teams and as individuals, we set ourselves ambitious goals–with a commitment to develop the skills that we need to succeed.

In leadership roles, we are determined, empathetic, and committed to fostering and exemplifying our culture.

Sennheiser leaders strive to exemplify the qualities that we also expect from others: responsibility, openness, and decision making. This applies to all leadership roles – from corporate to temporary project management. We integrate these principles into our daily work to achieve team success.
