Can a company be good company?
Zhang Wei Ping dares to ask.
At Siemens, she discovered an open culture without limits to her career.
When you work for a company, it’s not just its reputation or remuneration that matter. So do its values and the people you work with every day. Whether they’re in the office next door or on another continent, the way people deal with each other makes the difference for a corporate culture.
Often you can find the greatness of a company in the small things, like the ability to listen to what someone else has to say. “It’s an open culture at Siemens,” says Zhang Wei Ping. She leads a sales team at Siemens Energy in Shanghai, promoting the highly efficient power plants that already help power 50 percent of China’s ever-growing cities.
Open culture
At Siemens, she is responsible for a number of tasks, ranging from license control to strategic support. Having degrees in both economics and engineering clearly helps her with her work. But it’s the culture that really makes it easy for her. “We can discuss everything, even argue with each other – but in a good way. The working process really benefits from that. We get better ideas, better solutions.”
Even before Zhang Wei Ping joined Siemens, she was impressed by the company. “Siemens people are very efficient and have profound knowledge in what they do,” she observed in a previous job.
Continous trainings
Later she found out the company supports this through training. Before taking over some new responsibilities, for example, Zhang Wei Ping spent a month at the headquarters of the Siemens Energy sector in Erlangen, Germany, where she visited all the relevant departments for her new job. She says she profited a lot from this personally, but it also helped her do a better job. “It’s a combined thing, really,” she adds. “Siemens helps you to develop yourself while you help develop the Siemens business.”
No wonder that for Zhang Wei Ping, Siemens is like “one big family.”
