About elevait GmbH & Co. KG

Unsere Kultur: Gemeinsam Zeit wertvoll gestalten.

Zeit ist unser wertvollstes Gut - Das ist nicht nur Teil der Vision hinter unseren Lösungen, sondern auch Bestandteil unserer Zusammenarbeit bei elevait.

Miteinander, das echt ist.

Wir sind überzeugt: Exzellenz entsteht im Miteinander. Deshalb begegnen wir einander mit Offenheit, einer Haltung und echtem Interesse. Wir leben eine Teamkultur, in der Kollaboration über Konkurrenz steht. Unsere Zusammenarbeit findet auf Augenhöhe statt – co-kreativ, respektvoll und fair. Wir helfen einander statt zu blockieren, nicht als Floskel, sondern in gelebtem Alltag. Wir hören zu, geben ehrliches Feedback und lernen voneinander. Erfolge feiern wir gemeinsam mit Stolz auf das, was wir als Team erreichen.

Neugierig. Adaptiv. Immer in Bewegung.

Von 0 auf 100 Mitarbeitende in weniger als vier Jahren – und wir sind noch lange nicht am Ziel. Stillstand passt nicht zu uns. Neugier ist Teil unserer DNA. Fehler und Herausforderungen? Gehören bei uns zum Weg dazu. Wir hinterfragen, probieren aus, passen uns an – ohne unsere Werte aus den Augen zu verlieren. Innovation ist, was uns antreibt.

Wirken - Arbeiten mit Sinn.

Unsere Technologie schenkt Zeit – für das, was wirklich wichtig ist. Das leben wir auch in unserem Team: Möglichkeiten neu denken, statt immer schon so gemacht. Denn Strukturen passen sich den Menschen an – nicht umgekehrt. Wer etwas bewegen will, wird gehört. Wir möchten, dass jede:r einen Impact im Unternehmen lebt und mitgestaltet, unabhängig der Position.
