ZF Way: Powered by Teamwork
Winning Together
The ZF Way is a transformation program for the organizational development of ZF and describes the “how” behind the company’s strategy. It formulates the way we do things as an organization, expresses what the people at ZF stand for and how, together, they will move on.
Our Principles
How do we successfully transform our business? Our method is based on the five proven and timeless principles that helped ZF rise as a company and organization over decades to become a leading mobility specialist on global markets. They are: passion, anticipation, diversity, empowerment and accountability.
Intrinsic motivation
ZF Way in Practice
The ZF Way describes the implementation of our strategy with five principles that are lived and breathed within the company. It’s a concept that works. One proof point for this is the internal ZF Excellence Award. Since 1995, ZF employees worldwide have had the chance to receive internal recognition by submitting their creative and meaningful projects and ideas. The quality competition has thus far encompassed five categories. 2021 saw the addition of another – The ZF Way.
Numerous divisions, regions and functions submitted projects with the aim of winning the coveted award. All the ideas demonstrated a high level of commitment, creativity and determination. The projects submitted show that the ZF Way has been embraced by employees across all hierarchies and locations.
