In the Human Relations department, around 150 people work on concepts, solutions and services for our employees at the OBI headquarters and stores. Our responsibilities range from payroll and personnel development to recruiting and training new employees. Our goal is to offer everyone at OBI a great workplace and to support them every step of the way on their OBI journey.

Who we are
How we work
In Cologne and Wermelskirchen, we combine many functions under a single roof: from HR specialists to business partners and analysts, we have it all. We not only work closely with other HR functions, but also with the specialist departments. After all, we want to develop tailored, pragmatic solutions for our organization.

We are looking ahead. In doing so, we rely on OBI FeedForward – our digitally supported performance management tool. In this way, we promote future-oriented competence development and motivate our employees to achieve their individual goals.

"My primary enthusiasm is working with our most important asset: our employees. Daily contact with a wide variety of personalities always provides an incentive to achieve the best possible results in order to make everyday life in the company easier for our colleagues. At the end of the day, I am very happy that I play an important role in actively shaping the corporate culture."
